SACK THE BOARD 16:32 - Dec 1 with 53449 views | RAFC1907 | Absolutely terrible. No ambition, robbing fans constantly with overpriced entrance fees for watching garbage. Garbage created by them for not backing the manager with any money, constantly pocketing it and saying we don't have any. 1600 home fans today says it all. No wonder we will always be little old Rochdale. Shambles of a football club. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 20:49 - Dec 1 with 2855 views | TomRAFC | I couldn't make today. Out of the 4 people I've spoken to about the match, 3 people felt the need to point out a certain CEO hanging around near the dugout/cameras. His conduct, past and present, has become such a focus. The amount of level headed people with growing concerns is a concern in and of itself. It's clear from the responses on club Facebook/twitter posts that there are unhappy fans. If there is no reassuring information then maybe a change might be a sensible idea. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:04 - Dec 1 with 2727 views | DaleiLama | Higher prices for lower league football potentially? Genius. Lost 5 league games on the bounce and struggled against teams 2 and 3 tiers below us. Dont see this festive season being full of peace and goodwill to all men at this rate. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:04 - Dec 1 with 2724 views | boromat | I think the comments about Matheson being sold in the summer are a bit 'optimistic'. He'll go in January I reckon. We've also said for a while on here it's probably Camps opportunity to leave if an offer comes in. Not sure where this will leave us as January isn't the best window to recruit on the cheap. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:07 - Dec 1 with 2708 views | judd | Well it is all hypothetical at the moment. Surely there are other means to enhance income than price increases in an overcrowded competitive entertainment market? Fans are not mugs. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:08 - Dec 1 with 2698 views | TomRAFC | Suggesting any kind of intent to recruit isn't just optimistic, it's a bit of a way away from what the board said to the trust. [Post edited 1 Dec 2019 21:09]

SACK THE BOARD on 21:15 - Dec 1 with 2654 views | TalkingSutty | Neither Chris Dunphy or Bill Goodwin will ever set foot in the Stadium again while the people now running the Club are in charge...that was the exact answer I received when I asked one of them if they will still be attending games. To the best of my knowledge they have been true to their word. I know for a fact that both miss the Club terribly but should circumstances change then they would make themselves available to help in anyway that they could. That shouldn’t come as a surprise though because they are lifelong Dale fans. As a fanbase we are very passive and the majority just accept everything that they are told by those running the Club, if they are told that there is no money or that the departure of our Chairman and Director was amicable then they will just accept it. It’s what Bury fans did, just lap up everything that those running the Club told them. | | | |
SACK THE BOARD on 21:18 - Dec 1 with 2636 views | nordenblue | Did someone mention mugs....in fact when are Sunderland back in town,just so some of our very own fans can play musical chairs around the ground again. | | | |
SACK THE BOARD on 21:20 - Dec 1 with 2622 views | Yorkshire_Dale | It's a dodgy strategy though....how can Luke Matheson thrive (and increase his value accordingly) in this team of cloggers and the way in which they are instructed to play? | | | |
SACK THE BOARD on 21:22 - Dec 1 with 2604 views | judd | Reading that about CD, who particularly credited BG with sorting the stadium ownership out, really fookin grates with me. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:27 - Dec 1 with 2564 views | SuddenLad | .....and me. It's a scandal that we're where we are now, both on and off the field. The change in the club hierarchy was the signal for the doom that everyone predicted it would be. After all, our 'natural' level is the Conference. Though I didn't expect it to be a race to get there.. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:30 - Dec 1 with 2553 views | fitzochris | I think those of us who have spoken to CD since his departure have heard a whole host of things along this theme. It’s very sad. | |
| |
SACK THE BOARD on 21:33 - Dec 1 with 2531 views | TalkingSutty | Yes, Bill Goodwin went the extra mile in securing the Stadium. | | | |
SACK THE BOARD on 21:33 - Dec 1 with 2526 views | YouTubeDale | “Neither Chris Dunphy or Bill Goodwin will ever set foot in the Stadium again while the people now running the Club are in charge.” Therefore we need to identify exactly what is wrong with the people running the club,it can’t be just jealousy that others have got the job it must be some big objectionable reasons. Do we know those reasons or are we guessing? Are those reasons so serious to warrant fan pressure to sack the board? Or is it just a case of just a different way of going about things; some like chocolate others like vanilla ? [Post edited 1 Dec 2019 21:36]

SACK THE BOARD on 21:35 - Dec 1 with 2510 views | nordenblue | Absolutely spot on TS and goes along with exactly what I heard straight after CD "stepped down", the very things/problems ahead predicted back then are all dropping into place now, the various posters off this forum I had contact with at the time shared these concerns too. We're in troubled waters and the captain may as well be sat on a deck chair with a blindfold on. | | | |
SACK THE BOARD on 21:42 - Dec 1 with 2463 views | judd | It's about results, I guess. There appears to be an influx of strong opinion going back 3 or 4 years that everything the club did off the field was shit and needed to change now. Lots of change at all levels of the organisation, all virtually at once. This apparent thinking won the day and look at how much we have improved - probably going further backwards under this manager, whole swathes of disenfranchised fans and agents, photo opportunities disguised as MOU signings, Manu in the cup just not good enough etc, etc. Japanese Knotweed FC. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:51 - Dec 1 with 2396 views | Dorislove | That first line is probably one of the most depressing football related comments i have read on this board ,i hope this isnt true but knowing TS i think it may well be. | | | |
SACK THE BOARD on 21:52 - Dec 1 with 2383 views | fitzochris | It’s 100% true, sadly. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 21:55 - Dec 1 with 2352 views | judd | I reckon it is even worse than that. | |

SACK THE BOARD on 22:00 - Dec 1 with 2307 views | D_Alien | Correct me if i've missed anything, but what happened to the shares that CD & BG held before they left the board? Did they sell them on, or did they retain them? There are other shareholders, too... [Post edited 1 Dec 2019 22:02]
