W the F are you O aboutStigThundercock said:
Fair question.Karim_myBagheri said:not a troll btw but does anyone actually know for fact why she left? I mean it's pretty likely it is to do with Rolands statement but I cant see on this thread if she has said that.
I recruited to a post some years back. The successful candidate was well experienced in our field, we were apparently paying a good slice more than she'd been earning, with our prospects and plans at the time there was the very real likelihood of advancement, increasing earnings and no glass ceiling. She was the standout candidate in every way. She served her notice at her then current employers and joined us about 3 weeks after we offered her the job. We wrote to her soon to be ex-employer for the necessary reference to confirm all the usual but hadn't heard back before she joined. She duly turned up for her first week, most of which time was getting to know people, visiting our half dozen or so operating sites and promptly resigned at the start of her second week. Turns out she'd been trying to negotiate a better deal at her existing job and her boss hadn't taken her seriously. When he found out for sure that she'd called his bluff and actually left he caved in and offered her smthn close to what she'd requested. She went back whence she'd come. Can't get my head around how awkward that woulda been. There's nowt stranger than folk. She essentially had a week's unpaid leave cos our Chief Accountant and head of HR were raging that they'd been used in this way and flat refused to pay her for her week's attendance. She didn't sue, unsurprisingly.
My money's still on MB smelling the coffee and getting the H out of Dodge but we won't know for sure until there's smthn from the H's M
In post for only 46 days would make it very hard for Roly n Kat to successfully impose any gagging orders. In any case the truth of what goes on at the Valley these days never takes long to filter out, endemic dissatisfaction will do that to a business.
Turned out later we'd dodged a bullet with our 'now you see me, now you don't' recruitee/time waster. Colleague at one of our other sites knew her and her employers quite well and assured us she was a massive P in the A with a talent for disruption. Which I'm sure Mel B certainly isn't.17 -

I had always wondered what Mel was thinking about her new job in the period between her getting it and finally turning up in Feb. I think we were told at Meire's powerpoint show of the appointment and although I think that was after Dublin, that episode didn't hit the screens until later. It was only after then that things got weird, she must have followed all this on social media with the thought of what the hell am I letting myself in for here. Hence not updating her LinkedIn profile and expecting something like "The Statement" to happen quite early in her employment.4

Still a few I'm afraid.ricky_otto said:
That's true. She was really hung out to dry. Makes everybodies dislike for them even stronger (obviously apart from the sympathisers).Bournemouth Addick said:
Agreed but it doesn't hurt to keep people onside if you can and tbf she has been right royally stitched up by our crazy regime.ricky_otto said:
Might take more than a bunch of tulips for Mel to spill the beans. Her leaving after what seems like 5 mins speaks volumes anyway I think mate.Bournemouth Addick said:
Might have missed it in the 1000's of posts over this week but perhaps CARD should acknowledge it and also that another long serving member of staff has jacked it in, in John Little?Henry Irving said:
There will be no official statement on the OS or twitter. The best they will do is a couple of lines in the programme.kings hill addick said:I have read most of the posts on this thread so I'm sorry if I've missed this but there seems to be no announcement on the club website. Ignoring the irony that I don't know who would announce the exit of the Comms Manager on account for the fact that we, suddenly, have no Comms Manager, has anyone seen an official statement from the club of Mel herself?
If so can someone share a link please?
Thanks
They know any statement on the OS or twitter would alert Roland as well as the wider media and just embarrass them even more, if that is possible.
Are any of them brave enough to say "look, Roland, that stupid statement you made us put out has lead to our Head of Comms resigning, please butt out in future" No, of course not because Cajones and Nightmeire were putting pressure on her to publish it.
So they continue their "if we say nothing it will go away" ostrich tactics
Only there is a fans forum meeting in April and someone is bound to ask "Why did Mel Baroni leave?" KM won't give a straight answer or hide behind "confidential" or similar.
But we all remember how Katrien heralded Mel's arrival well in advance as proof of positive change. That one back fired a bit then.
A nice bunch of flowers from the kitty for Mel might pay dividends in terms of getting the full sp on what's happening...
SeriouslyRed is anti regime at the moment, although if we get a win tomorrow he'll sing a different song.5 -
So, if previous history is anything to go by, there should have been at least 20 CV's landing on Squirrel Face's desk today, including one from one of our favourites, whom we'll never know.
So who's in the running then.

If need be I'll get them myself and send them on our behalf.
One problem......
Where to send them too, can't really send them via The Valley, SE7.0 -

Worth risking? It would appear that she rose above it by resigning - the best place to stay is above it and not descend to their level.Dave2l said:2 -
If she talks about what happened, it's going to adversely affect her chances of getting another job, as any future employer is going to look askance at someone with a reputation for mouthing off to the press. If she keeps schtum, it will enhance her reputation. As other have said, it's obvious what's happened here and why she's resigned so she doesn't need to say anything for a few measly grand.bobmunro said:

I guess she should keep her mouth shut about the whole thing for her own sake. Respect to her. Agree with the above.bobmunro said:

Player marks:
Mel - 9 got on well with every fan she met, understood football and what it means to be a fan, moved the club communications up several notches in a limited period of time against difficult opposition
KM - 0 totally incompetent in virtually every area of her game, bullied internally and laughed at by the rest of the world who notices her
RM - 3 formally a fans favourite but his mind has gone and is goin to be perpetually tainted by his feeble initial support and lack of any challenges. Poor defender of the faith.
JL - 7 - stalwart defender of the club, very secure, unnerved by the instructions from the top, another nail.
AB - 8 - frozen out of the team, has taken a good step on and has helped the rest of the extended team to bring back Charlton.
ME - 6 - solid performance under difficult circumstances and can be relied upon to make the right call when the ball gets near the own goal territory so favoured by the management.
CARD - 10 - a combination unit helped in by the excellent efforts of many and particular mention to Davo55 and Curb_it without whom the money wouldn't be there
RD - 0 - struggled whether negative scores were possible for 'He's not the messiah he's just a very naughty c_nt'. Decided against myself but happy for others to wade in here3 -
Only 8 players with marks?
I'll finish it out
Jackson - 3, legs have gone
Harriott - 2, attitude problem
{...} - 7, versatile and weird (meaning unique) addition to the squad0 -
