Teflon Katie HAS to to be next2

Good for her, can we please get an interview from her sharpish? BEE2

@Swisdom you were telling us about all the good work she was doing eg the fans@ email address?
What are you views on this now? All happy on the good ship Charlton still?
Back to Mel.
I met her a few times and she came to Bromley Addicks which was brave.
Seemed smart and genuinely wanted to listen to fans, knew she had walked into a mess but was trying to clear it up.
Now the person it took over two years to recruit has resigned after six weeks.
But everything is OK at Charlton.
Rantgate on its own it might have been enough to make her walk away.
Given the total mess and the incompetent fuckwits like Tony Cajones she had to work with it was just the final straw. Bloody big straw though.
Smart move to get out now and avoid a stain on her career so good luck to her.
Feel for Olly and the comms guys who yet again are left without a manager and short staffed. Don't worry, they'll be another Head of Comms along in 201852 -
Let's hope she speaks to the media.. and let's hope it doesn't affect her future job prospects of which I'm sure it won't, good for her.5

After Tuesday night I expected someone or something would have to budge. Of all the people... It's not right that Mel has ended up being that person. All the best for her in the future6

Well done Mel ,she obviously has principles , good luck to her .0

Fantastic.
She has morals. Well done Mel.
Shame to see her go. She could have been good.
That's why Roland employs yes men.
That includes Riga.10 -
Actually under the circumstances (or people) she was under I think she was.The Red Robin said:But she was doing so well?

Fair play to her - hope she has another job lined up.
This club gets worse every day.0 -
Gutting, hoped it would be Katrien.1

Imagine her next job interview:
"Why did you leave your last job?"
*Mel slides across a screenshot of the Statement rant*
"Ah."43 -
On Tuesday she was up for the challenge. She has an air of calm about her that I really liked. I thought she would be good for us. I told her as much.
Then along comes Roland with his big size 10's and tramples all over it with that statement.
When there was silence yesterday I had a feeling there were crisis talks.
If the rumours are true that he overruled everybody and insisted that message went out then he has absolutely clusterfucked himself. Brilliant. 1 step forward and 10 steps back.
As much as I am Mr Glass Half Full - this has really pissed me off.28 -
Total respect for this young lady. She has left with her dignity and self respect completely intact. She deserves to find alternative employment quickly and I wish her all the best. She can now watch how things continue to unfold, secure in the knowledge she did her best in the face of overwhelming odds. Ms Meire - that is how a decent person behaves. You have no such dignity left in your locker. Time for you to creep away into the night.8

I would suggest that a message to her from CARD or such thanking her and showing respect for her decision and the fact she clearly has principles and courage of her convictions would be a good touch.26 -
Total respect4

What a shite week this is turning out to be for roly and nightmeire.....

What are the chances Fraeye comes in to fill her position?14
-
People with principles leaving the club...
Well done, Mel. Best of luck to you.
Who next?0 -
How much more will it take before the football authorities decide to investigate what the hell is going on with the club!?0
-
Massive respect from me.
All my doubts erased in a moment.
Good luck Mel.5 -

Well said @Swisdom Even when they do good stuff like recruit people like Mel they are incapable of not cocking it all up.Swisdom said:On Tuesday she was up for the challenge. She has an air of calm about her that I really liked. I thought she would be good for us. I told her as much.

Don't want to labour the point but it's the same with John Little, it really is.3 -
I know I joked about writing a LinkedIn recommendation for the poor woman, but this is actually quite a loss considering how short her time here was.
In another thread today it was mentioned how she was a glimmer of hope; that finally someone that had been appointed that the fans could relate too, and actually someone who had put her head above the parapet and sat with the fans very early on during her time here. Very respectable.
Although she may not have had the experience some would've liked to have seen, if only for her attitude, I really had a desire to see her make it work here - and see her outlast the regime and have a crack at the role under proper management. After all, if she could survive the trial by fire that she'd placed herself in, she could do anything.
Sadly Mel, by confronting the fans and visiting both the museum and Bromley Addicks it appeared you had too much of a backbone to work with the current regime. The fact you did so however, speaks volumes about your dedication and professionalism, and as such I'm sure finding a new job will be an easy task - that this little bump in your career will be very easily explained away - and you'll have learnt a lesson for the future.
Good luck.11 -
How could any organization screw things up more than this one?2
-
Wow, that's a stunner. At the time we wondered if she realised the scale of the challenge working for RD and KM. I guess she knows it now...2

Huge respect. Would love to hear her side of events.3
-
Quite why an organisation that doesn't communicate needs a head of Comms defeats me anyway. Either way good luck Mel
How long before rant gate gets pinned on her. Just the kind of cowardly stunt they would try and pull to dig themselves out of their own PR shit.3 -
She may want to emphasise the fact it wasn't her who wrote it thoughFiiish said:Imagine her next job interview:

"Ah."
I can't see many interviewers taking this stance:
"You've got a poor grasp of grammar but you are clearly a woman who speaks her mind; you've got balls. I like that. You've got the job."1 -
After her first statement at Bromley addicks,i knew she had no chance.
"The fans are important and have passion "
A good looking member of the audience(younger version of Richard Gere) said she needed to convince her boss of that and not the Bromley addicks.
She came across as a good football person having played, but it makes we wonder what rubbish she was told at the interview.
she had as much chance of changing RD and KM methods as a one legged person hopping across the M25 in the daytime has of living to tell the tale.7
