Before anything else is discussed could someone confirm that the kick-off is 3.00pm please?
The official site states this but I’m sure that I read somewhere that it had been brought forward to 2.00pm?
Thanks. | | | |  |

Do you want me to dig out all your pro-Bentley and pro-Coleman ramblings?

I can dig out the posts where i said i'd never want to see someone who played the style of football Coleman had us playing managing Dale ever again, if you like?
I'm willing to give any manager the benefit of the doubt (without anti-Scouse prejudice) until it becomes clear their way isn't working for us
So go ahead, yeah, find those posts where i was giving them a chance to succeed [Post edited 8 Apr 2023 18:12]

IT’S ALL A CONSPIRACY AND ONLY YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.
I’m expecting you to say “do your own research” anytime now… | |

"The Morton House narrative in July 2021 was going to be very straightforward. Buy the club from a small number of private shareholders on the cheap to gain 51% control, strip out the ground and then run the club into the ground and walk off into the sunset. It's exactly what happened at Bury and Macclesfield and though terminal for the football clubs concerned it was beneficial for the shareholder - Steve Dale getting back for example a lot more than he bought the club for"
However with Bury they were already millions in debt before Day and Dale took over. It's debatable whether or not they would have lasted longer or not without them two getting involved. It was down fully to their spending beyond their means for at least two decades that they were skint. Trying to blame Day and Dale only let's off the others who were to blame including their so called supporters club Forever Bury, and the supporters who forever were demanding that their club spent beyond their limited means. | |

Interesting post that and thanks. You ask the question 'How does that £1.5 million deficit get funded'. That unfortunately was a discussion that didn't involve any of the shareholders or the fans. I can't speak on behalf of the Supporters Trust but if the committee were consulted they certainly didn't let their members know. The answer to your question was that a handful of people in the boardroom took it upon themselves to change the whole concept of the club and basically put it up for sale, open the front door to another potential Morton House saga.
The sale of the shares were marketed around the club being fan owned, supporters bought shares on that basis and to not even consult them was a disgrace and will never be forgotten. Ignoring the very people who make this club what it is will really hurt the club now, at a time when they will be required to buy season tickets and football shirts etc. Something that helps to reduce any deficit. It's only inclusive when it suits. [Post edited 8 Apr 2023 18:36]

Just a minute, what division are Blackburn Rovers in?
The club that were, but for a last minute hitch, presumably going to pay us a fee for Ethan Brierley. | |

So what happened between the Chairman's "we are in a stable financial position and in a good position to compete" blah blah blah and the Boards decision to completely pull the rug from under those of us who put good money in to buying shares only to see the Board effectively put us up for sale?
My best guess is that the Board were given new and differing Legal advice telling them that they could possibly lose any case against MH (having previously been told that they would win) and they panicked and put the club up for sale.
Only a guess...but I was told by three separate New Board Directors that they were 100% confident that MH's share transfers were not legally correct.
If my guess is right; do the new Board have a legal case against those who gave them the original legal direction and subsequently backed down? Surely Legal council have some sort of financial indemnity for this sort of thing?
Either way; it leaves a nasty taste in the mouths of those of us who bought shares without any Exec or non ecec. benefits and who now stand to lose everything.

I keep reading on here that a Dale Newsletter exists, assume that’s different from the Trust newsletter? If so what do you have to do to get one? As a season ticket and shareholder - you’d think I’d qualify to get one, but I’ve not ever received anything…. | | | |

It really is pathetic. | | | |

There's another aspect to this
If the BoD were looking to recoup their financial input which helped saved the club initially and with the subsequent MH share acquisition - surely the way to do so would be to put their own shares up for sale
The 450,000 share issuance was entirely separate

There's a partial answer in the first paragraph.
"We have returned during 2021/22 to being a properly and prudently run football club...".
The board saved the club, we're all hugely grateful, but how do you know you're running a football club in a proper and prudent way, if you don't know how to run a football club?
It's been an innocent, but costly, assumption by the board that their combined business acumen provided enough transferrable skills to run the club.
MARKT may help us with footballing operations, but we need outside expertise that helps the running of the rest of the club. | |

It was always going to reach this point.
The messageboard has finally achieved Handforth Parish Council status. | |

Absolutely, 100% wrong about that too
You've massively misinterpreted comments about our goal-kick strategy which very nearly led to us going 0-2 down. Did you even watch what was happening, or is it just your innate prejudiced outlook coming to the fore again?
442's reference to Handforth Parish Council is apt. Small-minded doesn't even come close | |

Have we any written agreement to sell the lad to Blackburn? I sincerely hope not as his performance yesterday will have put several clubs on notice & no doubt increased his value. Bidding war please!! We need every penny. | | | |

Finland, apparently.
So, I've been cluelessly misquoted on my observations of yesterday's game from the terraces by someone who is rarely if ever there. Doesn't bother me one little bit. I do hope, however, that this verbose individual supports the club from afar in deeds as in words like our overseas fans from Norway, Malta, Ireland etc etc.
Witnessing the unerring confidence of the perpetually ill-informed is one of life’s little amusements for those of us in the real world.
