Katrien Meire leaves Sheffield wednesday
Comments

She has clearly been able to fool some of the people some of the time but, ultimately her complete lack of talent, empathy and self-knowledge will catch her out in any job.
If she washes up as CEO of the Premier League I’ll be enrolling in Dignitas.2 -
If we take off the tinted glasses we’d see that she hasn’t done much wrong since she’s left and most Wednesday fans aren’t happy she’s gone. Shockingly not being the mouthpiece for the old bumbling idiot has allowed her to show what she can actually do. I wouldn’t be surprised if the FA do offer something.13

Oh god I hope we are worrying over nothing.

So let's surmise this. Bruce gets job. Can't start until the day after the window closes. Leaves his 2 mates in charge to oversee things whilst he's indulging in family commitments. In Barbados. They get paid, Transfer Window left to them/her, leaving Bruce blameless by default. What kind of CEO would oversee such a potentially messy scenario...0

It’s good but can’t help think you’ve missed an obvious joke there somewhere....soapboxsam said:Katrien Meire is leaving her job as CEO at Wednesday to try her luck at DFS.
" This is a fantastic opportunity to join a top championship team, Derby Football saints.
I can't wait to join the Goats, and get to know Frank Lampard. Many people think I look like Frank's wife Alex Jones.
With my help Frank Lampard can go on to emulate that great legend of English football Nigel Clough."
Do you mean because she's still got a sofa stuck up her arse sideways ?

Sorry, why all the lols? [Edit: on second thoughts, that’s not funny]JamesSeed said:Just had a text from GM. He’s told me he’s no longer going to be CEO when the sale is completed (within the next two weeks, after a couple of hurdles have been cleared) but has poached an excellent replacement from some northern club.

Her leaving statement sounds like....she's been given another job.
She quit. So she must have something else in place.
Could be a promotion of some sort. Premier League CEO role?
She does like to make friends and climb the ladder! pushes and pushes.
Other then that.
She is no longer our problem.

It's possible that her bosom buddy Karen Brady may of put in a word somewhere for her.
Millwall are a family club, I wonder if she will run the crèche for the trainee terrible twos.0 -

I don't know mate, but you were the one that said "show what she can actually do", and you can't provide an example - so it means nothing, basically.cafc_harry said:

We can't just ignore all the evidence presented to us in her time here. The reports back from staff at the club were completely damning. Duchatalet was and is the problem but it baffles me that a Charlton fan could think she was anything other than hopelessly out of her depth - other than sycophants such as Sue Perks.
Not sure about you, but I don't spend much time keeping up with the day to day activities of SWFC and their local press etc etc, so not sure how you could come to this conclusion. That said, I was sent a screenshot of an article about her departure that referenced her saying "we want to get fans to come to the club not just for the football" - seems she learned loads from her time here.

Are the Jimmy and Gerald phone calls still happening or has Gerald gone ex-directory because of embarrassment ?

Not sure thats a good fit. After all she bottled it getting on a train... now a class of two year olds whose first words were "carnt"soapboxsam said:It's possible that her bosom buddy Karen Brady may of put in a word somewhere for her.

Harry you may just be fishing for a LOL but this was mentioned to me from a female member of staff of longstanding who compared Katrien Meire and Peter Varney: Katrien would stroll in at 1PM on match days leaving all the work to others where Peter was at the valley by 9.30AM and was the hands on CEO making sure everything ran to clockwork and was polite to staff.cafc_harry said:If we take off the tinted glasses we’d see that she hasn’t done much wrong since she’s left and most Wednesday fans aren’t happy she’s gone.

Cafc were a bigger club and had bigger crowds when Varney was CEO but they were chalk and cheese in their professional approach to the position.1 -
Sadly, she will do just fine.5

No. Just occasional texts re anything other than the takeover. He’s even stopped saying ‘you know I can’t answer that’, he just ignores any questions.soapboxsam said:

We’ll find out if it’s embarrassment, or something else, when it’s over. I know that people with contacts mean well, but so much info has been wrong that I think I’ll take a view once it’s over, rather than form one based on second hand info from people with any sort of an angle.
(PS It’s Gerard, pronounced to rhyme with Herod)1
