Sahara (noun) - a desert in North Africa, extending from the Atlantic to the Red Sea and from the Mediterranean to central Mali, Niger, Chad, and Sudan: the largest desert in the world, occupying over a quarter of Africa;
Climate changes around the world are beginning to have a huge economic impact.
Tomorrow it is 140 days since Alexander Jarvis put out a statement on behalf of his client Mr Andrew Kirk Curran in the Manchester Evening News that had bravely claimed: "Furthermore, we have paid in excess of £1 million to date in consideration for shares, due diligence and legal costs."
In doing so Curran was confirmed as in for over £1m on 12th August 2021 all managed by the Scouse Disaster that is Alexander Jarvis.
Immediately after reading that article, on 16th August, the EFL charged Morton House with disciplinary proceedings. The EFL have these things called "rules" and the MEN article stated that the EFL "rules" had been broken.
It is alleged that Morton House MGT acquired Control of the Club, and a number of individuals became Relevant Persons without the prior consent of the EFL in accordance with the Owners’ and Directors’ Test (OADT).
The EFL’s objective was to gather additional evidence as it continued to investigate whether the Club, any Official, any Relevant Person(s) and/or any Persons wishing to acquire Control of the Club complied with the requirements of the OADT and whether any Relevant Person(s) are subject to a Disqualifying Condition.
Having considered the request for information made of them, Morton House MGT, on behalf of its directors, and representatives, has now informed the League that it is formally withdrawing from the approval process and plans to divest the shares acquired in the Club at the earliest opportunity.
Furthermore, Morton House MGT, its directors, and representatives, have confirmed to the League they are refusing to co-operate with the League’s ongoing investigations. Despite these developments, the EFL will be continuing with its disciplinary investigations into this matter and will take the most appropriate action available to it under its Regulations."
Note: Curran still in for £1m on 17th September 2021.
Now - what everyone in this pantomime had forgotten, including all of these parties, is that they had been seen, together at Spotland on the afternoon of 29th April 2021. Curran, Jarvis and Southall ALL visit Rochdale as a team for the same meeting.
Here is the crux:
8 months ago today - on 29th April 2021 - the three main characters were all seen, in Rochdale at the same place and at the same time. That April 2021 meeting was 105 days BEFORE Jarvis decided to read Mr Curran's statement to the Manchester Evening News.
What are the statistical changes of that happening?!
Fat Pat keeps a diligent notebook from behind the net curtains of her 2 up 2 down which doubles as the Wilbutts Lane Chippy. She saw them VERY clearly as many others who live and work around Spotland did.
Thank Christ the former CEO was SO security conscious and his car park barrier and ensuring the CCTV was turned on. Car park barriers stop cars and if you are driving from Worsley or Essex you need a car.
Andy Curran is not a happy bunny about all of these developments and his Christmas break has been disturbed by phone calls which have been going in and out of Worsley like an errant minor Instragram "influencer" taking lavish trips with her family to Dubai, Euro Disney and the Ski Slopes of the French and Swiss Alps (Covid-19 permitting).
When Andy lends someone £1m, he wants a return on that money and he always wants his money back.
Andy didn't drive up from Essex to attend that April meeting with Jarvis and Southall to lose £1m. Andy is very old fashioned. Borrow money from him, pay it back and if you do that then there is no need to resort to the boxing ring.
Unfortunately Southall is now feeling the pressure over quickly repaying that £1m more than the CSA knocking on asking if he will pay for Arabella but regrettably has no cash to do so.
The last thing he wants is not to be on Andy's happy list but the money has changed hands and some of the recipients have had not one, but TWO Caribbean holidays since August.
Would you believe, Matthew is on the verge of PULLING OUT and doing a runner and handing the baton back to the errant but keen Alexander Jarvis. Jarvis has even less brass to rub together than Southall.
We've always been a caring lot at Rochdale.
What we can say is that, we have noticed considerable disharmony in the Curran/Jarvis/Southall camp over the last 8 months and noted the influential players having a negative influence on other players.
Its now reaching the point where the Curran, Jarvis and and Southall might need to get some independent observations on how they could improve harmony within their team.
It is almost like they need a proven approach to successful team building and motivation and someone, anyone who could assist and support Matthew, Andy and Alexander by identifying and resolving the important psychological barriers some of the participants appeared burdened with from our lengthy observations.
The focal point all the way would be to ignite team and individuals morale whilst supporting Andy Curran to work out how Matthew Southall can ever pay him £1m back.
In these modern time and through strategic behavioural modelling tools that create winners anything could be possible.
Matthew, your last hope is here. Give these guys a ring (link below) and they can really help you resolve your issues with Andy.
PLEASE DO NOT CLICK IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY COMMITTED TO RESOLVING WITH ANDY CURRAN AND PAYING HIM BACK HIS £1m: https://tinyurl.com/adaz7hm5

George Bernard Shaw had it right:
"He who can does; he who cannot, teaches."
https://www.visittheusa.co.uk/
Today is six months on from when the Manchester Evening News today us that Captain Phalacrosis had "struck a deal to buy a 25% stake".
In those six months, precisely sod all has happened.
Captain Sabotage introduced Matthew Southall simply as a character to rescue a deal gone wrong - Southall said as much to the Dale Trust in an interview here: https://www.daletrust.co.uk/2021/10/10010/
Southall began by stating that he was contacted by Alexander Jarvis on behalf of Morton House with a view to a purchase of the shares. He said that he had known Jarvis for a few years and the pair had worked together before including at Charlton. Jarvis had told him that he had a deal that had “gone wrong” that might be of interest Southall.
In that six months we have all found a lot about Southall and his family:
Sources close to Southall indicate that he is fuming that Jarvis botched this deal and is reminded of that every time someone uses the term "Captain Sabotage" its a reminder that Jarvo's incompetence has exposed David Bottomley, Andrew Curran, Darrell Rose, Denise Courtnell, Faical Safouane and Matthew Southall.
There's no way out now either for Captain Phalacrosis.
It's the end of March and the season is over in 5 weeks.
Wait until he has to tell Jade what has happened; it will be enough to make his hair stand on end.
Actually, maybe not.
She's leaving him soon though, you mark my words.
Oh, i'm pretty sure of it
She was only ever interested in his money and lifestyle "promise" (what else has he got going for him?) and if he ain't got no money, it's curtains
I'd go so far as to say she'll be asking him "to read my lips" - but that might prove beyond him. Or indeed, anyone

It’s hard to keep up with everything, it seems like a blueprint of how not to take over a football club and put your names in the National spotlight at the same time. If somebody really has spent £1.2 million hoovering up shares at a vastly inflated price then who has advised him/her?
Do the people dishing out that advice also stand to lose a wedge of money or are they the ones that have already lined their pockets by selling their shares? It amazes me that somebody has actually shelled out that amount of money, i find it very hard to believe to be honest. Pay the money when all the ducks are lined up in a row, but not before, surely?
Our ex Chairman and disgraced CEO/Directors of the football club would have been aware of the process required when it came to exchanging shares and also the EFL requirement, so would Jarvis...did they inform the buyer before selling their shares, if not why not?
Did they inform the buyer that they would have to get past nearly 400 shareholders and the difficulty they would have in getting the required number of shares? Then you throw Matt Southalls name into the mix and straight away the EFL are on red alert, as are football fans throughout the country, his reputation goes before him, so does Jarvis’s .
They used a solicitor during the transactions, why didn’t the solicitor do proper due diligence? A lot of people have cashed their shares and the person purchasing them is now left with a massive predicament. I don’t see the point in taking our Chairman/ Directors/ Supporters Trust to court, they haven’t been involved in selling and buying the shares, their job is to protect the interest of the Club and the shareholders/ fans. They can’t make major decisions without approval from shareholders and fans anyway. The only thing they are guilty of is protecting the football club and at all times being guided by the EFL and their regulations.
He/ She has been very badly advised by people who would have known the rules regarding the EFL and ownership issues and the solicitor acting on their behalf also hasn’t protected the client. The legal action would be better turned in their direction,or maybe the ones doing the selling should return the money to the purchaser?
This has all been instigated by one man, the person who invited them into the club, the person who put two fingers up to the shareholders and supporters. Do he and his cronies stand to lose any money in all of this?

With the benefit of extensive hindsight, it appears a very sophisticated con perpetrated by person or persons unknown on some unsuspecting and poorly researched buyers from out of town.
And all taking place after the 1st June when the then Board - including Bottomley - removed their motions on proposing investment - or else would have been voted down by fans who then removed Bottomley and Rawlinson from the Board of the club.
The sellers are off into the sunset with £1.2m (Jarvis' number quoted in the MEN) and haven't been seen or heard from.
The buyers are left scratching their heads about how they haven't actually managed to takeover a football club despite outlaying the aforementioned £1.2m.
The EFL - after nearly 7 months of looking at it - have charged "a number of individuals" but no one currently at the club.
Andrew Curran is now infamous and banned from football for making a homophobic remark. He is yet to do a face-to-face rehabilitation course according to the press.
Alexander Jarvis is/isn't involved depending on which day of the week it is. He's finished up his career in football and is flipping burgers in Birkenhead.
Captain Phalacrosis has money problems and his partner is about to leave him and take the kids with her. All Jade ever asks is "Where has the money gone?". Phalacrosis hasn't been honest with Jade; shame on him.
If you are the buyers I think you have worked out now you've been sold a pup - and I'm not talking about Puggles and Jingles.
And all roads apparently lead to one man; who hopefully will be held accountable.
It's enough to bring you to crocodile tears.

There's also the possibility, which follows naturally enough from your musings on who stood to gain from the over-priced sale of Dale shares, that our former Chairman's resignation from his position a couple of months prior to the infamous events of late spring / early summer might be seen in a different light
Someone who's involved in financial trading wouldn't be the most obvious candidate for not being "in the know" with regard to the plans of his CEO. It'll be interesting to see what emerges as and when the EFL press on with their charges. In terms of 'who actually gained' the ex-Chairman is exhibit No.1

Lunchtime brew all over keyboard!... it was the " football for dummies" book and the Argos catalogue next to Bottom that made me laugh out loud. Well done!
It's all so farcical you've just got to laugh. Never have such a bunch of muppets ever come together with such an ill conceived plan executed with such complete incompetence. I can't wait for the movie to come out.
Worth saying as well though, that these muppets have had some formidable opposition.

MORTON HOUSE / Matthew Southall's £1m deal with Andy Curran is "on the roc on 14:19 - Mar 31 by RAFCBLUE
Danny Devito is a shoe-in to play Bottomley.
And here's the other nominee.
Made jokes about a bald man on tv earlier in his career but was caught (above) on film auditioning for the part , complete with a demo on how to make a quick getaway. Recent evidence suggests it might be better to keep Chris Rock off set during filming.
29 September 2021 was when the Manchester Evening News announced that Southall had "struck a deal to buy a 25 per cent stake in League Two football club Rochdale AFC.
Mr Southall is acquiring his shares from Andy Curran and Darrel Rose's Morton House MGT group, whose bid to take over the club collapsed several weeks ago.
The M.E.N. understands that Mr Southall was approached by an intermediary on behalf of Morton House, who were looking to off-load the 42 per cent of shares in Rochdale acquired when the group was attempting to take control of the Crown Oil Arena club.
Mr Southall left the London club last year in controversial circumstances and now lives in Dubai but also has a home in Worsley and a wife who attended Bury Grammar School. He has declined to comment."
Not sure how £1m can be paid to Curran by Southall given Southall is now the Birmingham City CEO.
Imagine if we draw Birmingham in one of the cups?

George Bernard Shaw had it right:
"He who can does; he who cannot, teaches."
https://www.visittheusa.co.uk/
"It is clear our acquisition of shares in Rochdale AFC cannot under any circumstances be likened to the situations at Bury and other clubs which have been left weakened from owners.
"If anything the board will be the demise of Rochdale AFC if they continue to act in the manner in which they have been.
"Furthermore, we have paid in excess of £1 million to date in consideration for shares, due diligence and legal costs.
Southall began by stating that he was contacted by Alexander Jarvis on behalf of Morton House with a view to a purchase of the shares. He said that he had known Jarvis for a few years and the pair had worked together before including at Charlton. Jarvis had told him that he had a deal that had “gone wrong” that might be of interest Southall.
Morton House has agreed to transfer its full beneficial shareholding of 212,895 shares to a consortium of seven individuals, who are all currently serving members of the club’s Board of Directors, for an undisclosed sum.
"undisclosed sum"
There is a possibility that if you take an undisclosed sum from a seven figure sum and there is a loss of at least £1!
Captain Sabotage and Captain Phalacrosis will have some explaining to do to Andrew Kirk Curran as to how some money was lost.
Southall's records with takeovers is also looking a bit s*it now too. Lasted a couple of months in the Championship at Charlton, didn't manage to actually get a deal done at Rochdale and so far, doesn't actually appear to have a picture or a mention at Birmingham City, despite being linked with the club:
Meanwhile in Ingatestone, Spotify is playing and Kelly Curran, Taylor Curran, Puggles and Jingles are sitting around table asking Andy how Southall and Jarvis lost them money:
