Guilty as charged. Let the facts do the talking. this is not harassment but reporting of facts. GUILTY. You have caused us pain and hardship David for all your wrong doings. I hope this is a real warning to those that want to employ you in the future.

For all those that defended you, scurry away to your crevices.

Guilty!

BBC have been quick to report:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63287998

"Dale pleaded guilty, with former CEO David Bottomley given a two-year ban from operating as a relevant person.

Bottomley, who has since worked chief operating officer at National League North side AFC Fylde, left Dale in June 2021 having been voted off the board by shareholders."

Hopefully he will be pursued through the courts and punished adequately with all costs awarded against him. I hope he reflects on what he has done too, and realises that his own actions have destroyed his life, and the lives of others just in pursuit of money. For him to end up with none will be a fitting conclusion.

To be fair, he publicly showed he couldn’t be trusted with the clandestine extension of BBM’s contract, but this transcends that tenfold.

I must say, I expected a 3 point deduction suspended for a year like what happened to Swindon, so 6 points suspended for 2 years seem slightly severe, perhaps we are an easy target for the EFL. May I ask does the point deduction and suspension relate to just the financial running of the club or other aspects of how the club is run?

At least the village halfwits running the EFL have made a decision and at the moment the matter is closed.

Does Bottomley ban apply to Flyde or not?

"Following the conclusion of the Disciplinary Commission, the Club has been punished by the EFL with the following sanctions:
1) a suspended six-point deduction penalty which will be triggered if during the next two years, to October 2024, it commits any misconduct by failure to comply with the Owners’ and Directors’ Test (OADT) of the Football League."

Looks like its down to ownership issues, with regulations abused by Bottomley & Morton House.

Am I right in thinking that, apart from an ongoing case between the club and a former employee that this is the end of investigations/litigation as far as Dale are concerned. I hope so, we’re all weary of it now, God knows how the board feel.
I’m still hoping HMRC are taking a look at things.
The suspended points deduction might look harsh but the club pleaded guilty and some sort of penalty had to be imposed if only pour encourager les autres as the saying goes.
Two years doesn’t seem too much for the MH gang but their cards are well and truly marked should they try and sneak in at another club in future.

Hasbro - illegal price fixing

Trends - bought out by partner

Asobi - ran from RAFC before being struck off by Companies House

RAFC - voted off board by shareholders, removed from office achieved in an uncompetitive contest, after which awarded an unregulated pay award whilst accepting furlough payments on behalf of the club as Chief executive .

Rochdale Development Association - "resigned" as a director

KFC Fylde - gone

Now has a ban for 2 years, the second highest ban ever handed down by the EFL, it would appear.

I noticed a short while ago that a thread regarding David Bottomley had been removed from this forum.

I suspect the technical term is "censored" but that is speculation on my part.

When the EFL say a participant entered a guilty plea, perhaps that is all that needs to be said.

Guilty.

The truth is, as I'm sure will be revealed in the full EFL summary, that, after an extremely thorough (and no doubt hugely talented) analysis by the EFL, only one former or current RAFC director was charged re: the attempted takeover outwith EFL regulations. That individual was found guilty. Several outsiders have been found guilty, only one former insider has.
Given past form, spin, lies, threats and manipulation are to be expected, but will be ignored.
The truth is out there and no amount of narcissistic jibber jabber will convince anyone otherwise.
Guilty as charged.
All his own doing.
Sue me for saying so. My legal protection insurance is excellent.

Strange how none of that made it on to his linked in page.

His CV on there reads like something else.

My personal favourite: "Adopted best practices and implemented robust strategies to betterment of the business".

The board, fans, shareholders, the EFL and soon, hopefully, the courts may have opposing views on this
