It's good that the Trust volunteers can do so successfully

Just vote "up" which at least balances the downvote

That's what i was getting at

Have the Trust been able to identify all shareholders, whether Trust members or not? And if so, why can't the club?

The Trust has taken up this issue with an email this evening

A positive thing to do. Just wondering if it's addressed to Trust members who're shareholders, or all shareholders?

You've done all you can, as many have noted previously

New brooms need to be swept, sooner rather than later

Yes, that's the takeaway from the email

Looks like a matter of making things watertight and it seems likely the Ogdens will have had major input into how this has been formulated so let's hope it doesn't lead to any unnecessary delays

I think most of us understood what you meant by a "prove it" year

Your point about "people voting with their feet" is the key one

If we look at the situation in 2009 when we had a tax bill to pay. we sold ALF to Rotherham for (i think) £70k which could be deemed well below his true market valuation (especially given his subsequent career). The sale was required or we could've been handed a winding up order by the tax authorities, or so the narrative was put forward at the time (i stand to be corrected)

If such a situation were to occur going forward from here, would we be required to sell at below market valuation to pay an urgent bill... or not? It very much remains to be seen

It was keeping us in the top half of the table...

...although equalizing helps too

Whilst i've expressed 'reservations' about our current leadership off and on the pitch, i can fully support this statement for the following reason: it's coming from a level of expertise, professionalism and indeed, creativity that i never imagined would become involved in Dale

In addition, to go in at half time at 1-1 and with Hendo hitting the post after we'd drawn level was very enjoyable, irrespective of the eventual outcome

I felt as proud of Dale during that half time interval as at any other time up to that point

Likely they wanted to push this through ahead of a regulator being established

We shall see; you may well be right, depending on the initial injection of financial support

Whether it's in the immediate or medium term, new leadership is required, so let's keep that to the forefront rather than looking for reasons why it mightn't happen right now

That's a fair enough point of view

Rather than having to piss in or out though, surely the better solution would be to reach an agreement with the Ogdens that enables him to exit with a decent chunk of his money back and make way for a new broom

I'd agree with much of that, but just to clarify: do you think he will continue as Chairman or that he should continue in that role?

This is precisely what is needed

Surely, the last 3 years would've jaded the appetite of anyone as chairman, let alone someone 'encouraged' into a role he didn't understand (self-admittedly, btw)

A new chairman and refreshed boardroom is the absolute minimum bedrock upon which the future of Dale could be built. To that end, i'm not sure SG's the right person to be overseeing the recruitment of such a vital role, having little background in or apparent insight into what's required

All such appointments, whilst vital, should await the outcome of due process with the Ogdens. The only exception would be if SG has already agreed not to be part of the recruitment process other than advertising it
