    At the risk of sounding sexist, isv her role to make the tea and tidy the room up afterwards?

    Big Tony Southstand is nailed on for that role. ;)

    From what I have heard she works so hard and such long hours I really don't know how she will find the time for this.

    Anyone else noticed that the Bedfordshire rep is R Everitt? That could be fun, @Airman Brown?

    Depressing on so many levels.

    She's cementing herself in place now; with obligations beyond CAFC it would appear as though a takeover is nowhere on the horizon.

    For the FA to do this it would appear they care even less than we could've imagined. Although I did not for one second imagine that the FA would make a statement or acknowledge the situation at CAFC in anyway, I still didn't think they'd give the inept idiot a position. On the face of it, this appointment gives her credibility beyond SE7.

    Lastly, it's another opportunity for portraying her victim persona to another audience.

    Maybe she is interested in the grass roots stuff ----- I support her effort in this and wish her good luck in looking at them from the bottom upwards soon as possible

    This^ My thoughts initially were why would you apply for such a position if the club was about to be sold following a fire sale. No respite in sight yet awhile I'm afraid :disappointed:.

    No wonder she hasn't made any comments recently with regards to the club bet she has lockjaw to get that job. Old RD wont be best too chuffed and might see her given the Spanish archer.
    The football industry may just see what she is all about now, however she may have just have got this job due to sexual equality and not due to her ability for the job.

    Do you have to be English to be part of the FA hierarchy?

    I reckon she will rock up once, see that it is toothless ( as in it can't get all Charlton fans banned from existing) realise it is generally a waste of time, (because if she is on it, it must be) and she will never go again using the Varney email technique.
    But it will look good on her CV. Not that her CV matters, because as long as she works for Roly it would seem she can get away with any old ineptitude.

    Oh dear god... If they wanted the token female in there why not Karen Brady!!

    Because she has nothing to do with the EFL?

    Notice that the majority of club's CEOs are too busy running their own clubs to be interested in this. Running a club into the ground must be a lot less time consuming so Daisy has plenty of time to work on her CV.

    Copy of the Trust News there for Dyke. He obviously didn't read it.

    I would surmise from the four vacancies that no one wants it. She, on the other hand, will see it as another networking opportunity for her career and line for her CV. On the plus side, she'll be bored senseless.

    You think she'll actually attend meetings?

    Completely hilarious and surreal. However, please knock off the sexist comments - it paints us in a very bad light. We need to take the moral high ground at all times.

    What's wrong with being sexy?

    Hopefully the first note on the Agenda after the first big protest will be... "Katrien please explain why the fans are protesting and why you cant keep them in check"

    Because they won't let me use those water cannons.

    To be honest, you've only got to casually glance at the representatives in that Council to realise why football is fucked. Although to be fair to the FA, they've always been set up that way with their cronies and jobs for the boys attitude.

    I mean, who the fuck are "Billingham Synthonia FC" and why have they got a seat at the table?

    Edit: just googled them. "They are known for being the only club in England to be named after an agricultural fertiliser". So, shit. That explains a lot.

    To be fair the manure connection explains why 'Charlton FC' 's chief executive is at the table.

    Less time for her to dedicate to fucking up our club can only be a good thing right?

    Most worrying thing about this , is that this position gives her a better chance of changing the way football works...

    If I remember rightly ,in an interview she said that herself and Roland had big ideas for the football league and wanted to almost revolutionise it!
    This appointment gives both of them the chance to do so!

    How does she get to represent 'Charlton FC' when she is not an employee of the club? Isn't she a Staprix sub-contracted provider of management services?

    I signed but a shame the person who initiated it couldn't spell Charlton correctly.
