I'll look forward to you putting your opinion forward if anyone so much as bleats about "owners not investing in the team" in future
It seems you understand that principle after all, despite posting as if it didn't matter | |

I can see both sides of the argument.
A new business model will take a couple of years to implement and come to fruition. We may be solvent next season but will need to operate quite frugally I would have thought.
Personally I was pleased that we pursued the appeal as a matter of principle, judgement and backing our player. Five hundred pounds is a fair chunk when you are skint but not a great deal in the wider scheme of things.
Also we should not become risk averse as this may hold us back in future commercial activities and negotiations on football and non footballing matters. Clearly we cannot take our financial comfort blanket for granted but I don't think that that was the case.
Still wishing that Kairo hadn't fluffed his big chance to-day. | | | |

We didn’t survive liquidation by the skin of our teeth at all, you’ve no clue what you’re talking about and obviously fallen for Simon Gauges bull. You can try and justify your complete overreaction by all the rubbish you keep spouting about how it doesn’t bode well blah blah blah. It was never a red, it needed appealing, it was, it was overturned, as it should’ve been. Anyone who knows the rules knew it would be. Hold your hands up and admit you were wrong for a change. | |

The shareholders were told the club was running out of money by the end of March. They made decisions based on that information which came from the board and specifically the chairman.
My understanding is we have a lifeline, and depending on the outcome of due diligence, we will have new owners in the summer. Owners who know how to run businesses.
There is a very interesting article in today’s Sunday Times which describes the business disciplines being imposed by Ineos down the road at old Trafford. Obviously on a massive scale, but I would hope and expect that those same business principles are put in place around how the club is run. The comments on the online version are interesting some believe it’s penny pinching, others understand the need to change what has become a rotten culture. In my view we need to do the same. | | | |

Care to share what you know so we can judge for ourselves if other people have no clue what they are talking about? | | | |

From the Ogden family statement:
"To allow us the necessary time, we are making sufficient funds available to the Club to enable it to operate for the next 30 days." | |

This is a post that shows you're interested only in trying to put one over on me rather than any semblance to what happened, either on the pitch or within the club
I don't fall for bullshit, hence i won't be falling for your mindless bluster | |

Quite. I’m sure those who know what they’re talking about will keep us up to date on developments over said 30 days. | | | |

No.
If you were at the EGM you’d have seen and heard gauge trying to bully us into making a decision, when all the while there were many options available and it was very unlikely that we’d ever go bust with said options. I’m not going into all that though, it’s been done to the death. My point was about the complete overreaction to the appeal of a red card, completely unnecessary and it turns out it was the right decision after all. I also wasn’t trying to get one over, as I’d made my point about knickers in a twist before the decision. Some people just need to make a big deal about everything and that was completely unjustified when it was clear it was never a red card. The rubbish spouted by D_alien was pathetic. | |

And yet... many have voiced the same point of view, on both aspects: the red card and the expenditure courtesy of a benefactor. Regarding the latter especially, not all have done so on here, but in private, and it's understandable why they choose to do so. I guess they're all pathetic too - but in fact, they're some of the most thoughtful people who follow Dale
Their opinion is infinitely more valuable than yours | |

I wasn't convinced that the tackle deserved a red card but the inconsistency of refereeing decisions must be very frustrating when for those who watched todays game at Old Trafford , in my opinion if ever there was a nailed on red card it was the tackle from Casemiro on Diaz in the last few seconds of the game ,but just a yellow card was issued | | | |

Red all day. Makes Mitchell’s look like an accidental tread on the laces in comparison. | |

Here's a legendary saying: "if you want someone to 'have a day off' don't start arguing with them" | |

I was amazed that the VAR referee didn't suggest the match referee take a second look. It looked even worse in slow motion. Casemiro was very, very fortunate. | | | |

Has the penny dropped yet? It hasn't cost the club a penny. Let it go. How do you know how or who was actually funding the appeal in any case?
And who are you to declare or determine whose opinions have more validity than others?
99% of posters on here are Dale fans, from many age categories and with varying experiences of supporting Dale over different periods of time.
They are all welcome to express what they think without you slapping them down from your self assembled throne. Your haughty attitude is unnecessary. Debate by all means. Don't try and belittle people. | | | |

Alternatively "never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level and then they'll win"
By the way I love it when you call me by my name

Unrelated but it was nice to see Ronnie Blair looking fit and well and the guest of honour in the Oldham hospitality area on Saturday. One my favourite Dale players. | | | |

I am sure nobody was more delighted than DAlien when the card got overturned.
I agree with his sentiment that it was risking £500 that only days previously we did not have.
On in all it worked.. Mitchell can play out the remainder of the season bar injury or another red!!
Lets get together now and channel all our might into making Spotland financially secure off the pitch for many years to come. The second chance has come out of the blue and really does allow the root and branch investigation into all things club related.
Yes we have made some recent mistakes. Onwards and upwards for the Dale! | | | |

no its...
Me: There is no point arguing with you (or a variation)
Other: Why?
Me: You can never win an augment against an idiot
