EEL Stays
at 06:39 6 Jun 2024

…….didnt mean to vote that down btw !

There are 2 valid sides to this argument. Basically EEL is an old fashioned solid lower league defender capable of getting on the end of set plays.
The mistakes occur when he’s asked to play out from the back, which is down to a Manager not playing a style that suits the strength of his players. Without much better players, which the budget won’t allow, I see much of the same……some good football at times but awash with plenty of frustrating errors.

On the face of it far more preferable than American investors that would enviitably have demanded some sort of return on investment.
I’m not too bothered about someone throwing money at it, I just want us to get back to where we where……..sustainable……..a good community football club, well run, that pays its bills and develops players, and it’s around for another 100 years for other generations to enjoy the highs and lows that we have.

Dale Trust Meeting With WSH LLC
at 13:31 14 Mar 2024

“management at Rochdale as a business is yet to be determined, but the need for continuity is paramount in terms of personnel. It is recognised that additional personnel are required in order to relieve current workloads and attempt to grow revenue.”

Aside of the fact that on the face of it there doesn’t appear to be a coherent business plan, my experience of working for blue chip companies, and running my own business would suggest to me that continuity is key when something works and is successful. In my opinion continuity is the last thing needed here !?!

First time poster on here, though as a fan of 40 years always an interested observer of the discussions.
My user name is my name. Some will know me some won’t, but no agendas on my part just something I thought was interesting as a follow up to Talkingsutty‘s posts.
Cards on the table. I voted against the motion. I don’t hold our Chairman in particularly high esteem, and I’m very much in the camp of ‘start again as a fan owned club at lower level with a sustainable business model’. I have mates that are Dale fans and have debated this to death. We disagree on the vote and the way forward but it won’t stop us having a pint tonight.

The crux of this is the suggestion that there may be some share deals that have gone on in the background, so I will share an email conversation I had with out COO. I appointed GD as my proxy and he replied that he may not attend the EGM as there are rules in place that prohibit members of staff attending EGM’s. I checked the last share register to check the GD was indeed a shareholder and challenged him on this pointing out that as a shareholder he was 100% entitled to attend. The response I got was an interesting one, and I quote “I note the observation but assume that you must be referring to the latest confirmation statement which is June 2023. There have been numerous alterations to this in the last 8 months which will be reflected in the June 2024 submission”. I again challenged him on this and asked if he was suggesting that he had disposed of his shares in some way, but received no response.

People can interpret this how they wish. I just thought it was a pretty interesting conversation given what has subsequently allegedly come to light.

Happy to share a screenshot of the email, if someone can tell me how to do it !
