Meire arrived at Sheffield Wednesday little more than a year ago.
Sheffield Wednesday fans are reacting to news of Katrien Meire’s departure as Chief Executive Officer at Hillsborough.
Wednesday confirmed Meire’s exit in a statement on Monday evening, little more than a year since the Belgian arrived following a spell at Charlton Athletic.
Her time at Charlton is fondly remembered by few, and was a cause for concern for many Owls fans at the time she was appointed.
But it is fair to say that Meire leaves with more supporters than she had to start with, although little is known about her true impact behind the scenes.
And, in fact, several of a Sheffield Wednesday persuasion believe the wrong person has left their club.
Paixao is understood to be the closest of the advisers to Wednesday’s chairman, Dejphon Chansiri, and the man responsible for a number of the Owls’ recent signings, which have had mixed success and left the Championship side in a difficult position financially.
Chansiri has previously played down his links with the Portuguese agent, but was spotted alongside him, Steve Bruce and Stephen Clemence in Sheffield last month, ahead of the latter pair’s appointments as manager and first-team coach, respectively.
