Matt Southall has written to the club to ask them to cancel Wednesday's EGM:
Dear Sirs
We are happy to enter positive discussions with the Board. We suggest a meeting next week.
Unfortunately, the Board has initiated an EGM with the sole intention of seeking to dilute our shareholding. We have taken legal advice upon that process and the Board will receive correspondence from our Solicitors within the next 24 hours.
The correspondence will insist that the Board sends notice to all shareholders of the cancellation of the EGM on Monday 4 October.
If the Board try to proceed with the EGM, we are advised by the lawyers to start legal proceedings in The High Court to obtain an Injunction on Tuesday to ensure that the meeting does not proceed. We do not want to do that, but if the Board do not cancel the meeting, we will, and will also seek an order that the Directors who initiated the EGM pay the costs.
I stress that this is not a route that we want to take, but if the Board refuse to act in a co-operative manner, we will be left with no choice. The decision to call an EGM was a poorly conceived and unhelpful tactic which individual Directors will be held to account for, if they chose to proceed.
The best starting point for a constructive discussion is for the Board to immediately — this weekend — cancel the EGM. We will see this as a very positive and sensible move; and we can sit down and talk next week to explore all options with the Board. A pre-condition of commercial discussions with the Board, is confidentiality. You will understand that placing commercial discussions into the public domain is very unhelpful.
We are keen to reach a solution as soon as possible. We are sure that positive discussions can take place in the next week or shortly thereafter, so long as we can undertake the discussions without the need to tell the lawyers to commence action on Tuesday and on the basis that we are not going to read what we have discussed in confidence with the Board, half an hour later on the internet.
We look forward to your urgent response.
Regards
Matt Southall

Oh dear, Matthew, never mind.
You could always set up a stall outside tomorrow selling the latest from the hit parade. If the weather is like today I’d bring a hat though. You don’t want to get that precious head wet now do you? I believe Woolworths isn’t about these days but other shops are available. | | | |

The Trust's proxy ballot results have been announced:
In favour of the resolution: 409 (98.6%)
Against the same: 6 (1.4%)
Nice to see Curran, Rose, Jarvis, Southall, Denise and Faical are paid up members of the Trust. | | | |

Trust email says:
"We received a total of 432 votes. Out of those votes, we had two duplicate votes, one anonymous vote, six votes from non / non voting members and eight votes left blank."
A resounding mandate from Trust members to support the Board. | |

What's happened to that gobshite Southall? It was all "I own 25%" and pathetic threatening e mails with no substance last weekend. Not a dicky bird now.
His reputation as a flamboyant charlatan has been enhanced here. He's been as much use to Jarvis etc as a hunchback in a limbo contest. Just like Roger.
How this pathetic attempt at a takeover has been fooked up is amateur beyond belief. It's been a worry, but Charlie Caroli and his lads would have made a better job of it, and he's been dead since 1980!

Almost as if he has something else on his mind, isn’t it?
His ‘holiday’ in Dubai must be coming to an end any time now too. Time to face the music Woolworths style, Matthew. | | | |

There is a train of thought amonst some Charlton fans that the current extended 'jaunt' to Dubai is at the expense of whoever his new paymasters are, and its all just adding to the money he already owes (builders, £1.2m to Bassini etc etc)... & that the Rochdale involvement was an opportunity to 'settle some balances' before the proverbial hit the fast spinning thing. A couple of them have even said his Mrs may be sent back alone to sort out the mess he has created, such as the bankruptcy petition, whilst he carries on hiding over there.
The other school of thought is that he got a payout of some sort from Charlton and, rather than using that to settle some of his debts, he had chosen to wee it all away on an extended Dubai holiday.
Of course both theories could be wildly wrong, but whatever the scenario it certainly feels like the chickens are coming home to roost for him. | |

He must have a bit left over to be able to afford to invite his partner’s dad on the Dubai jaunt.
According to his Twitter anyway, | | | |

"BBC Sport understands Southall, who has recently moved to Dubai with his family, has no desire to get involved in the day-to-day running of Rochdale."
This article now goes one step further:
https://footballeconomyv2.blogspot.com/2021/10/rochdale-fans-fight-back-against.
Although the first battle was won, Rochdale were in limbo while they waited to see who might buy up the Morton House shares. There was interest from former Charlton Athletic chairman Matt Southall, who met with the Dale Trust to discuss investing but has since moved out of the picture.
So according to that correspondent, Southall has "moved out of the picture."
Very hard to have ever been in the picture when you are not a shareholder of the club, have serious concerns raised by fans of Charlton Athletic and you have no legal basis for engaging for Morton House, who are currently under an ongoing EFL investigation. | |

Worth resurrecting this, given last night's disclosure from the Trust that Matthew Southall has been writing with Jade's crayons again.
In case you missed it:
Update by Dale_Trust 2 Feb 2022 17:13We have received an email from Matthew Southall with a statement from Morton House this afternoon that was being circulated to both local and national media. As you'd expect, we have passed this on to our legal team and we are not planning on making any comment at this moment in time.

He likes to crayon a good letter does Matthew.
Charlton fans remember that clearly - namely a lovely bloke called Richard Wiseman:

One wonders why Matthew is getting so upset?
Two letters to the Trust one in October 2021 and one in February 2022.
He'd be better off joining like all of the fans! | |

Let the little soldier keep the crayons. It’s a bit late to take them off him, the writing is very much on the wall. | | | |
