Looks like someone / some people are trying to hoover up shares.

49thseason’s points about the ground are important. It’s something that could be sorted as soon as possible with the intention it is protected. There is the Asset of Community Value, but that has to be continually reapplied for. Getting something set in stone should be a priority so that anyone who is ever interested in the club knows that it is in place. |  |

An ACV is in place but not sure when it expires.
If a change of ownership is proposed then a moratorium of up to 6 months can be applied for whilst invested parties research an alternative to the bid.
Given we owe the council the loan money and deferred mortgage payments, they should be informed of this hostile bid, in my opinion. |  |

Clearly something underhand going on... |  | | |

Appears blackbridge sports have had involvement in takeovers at Peterborough, Barnsley and Woking. The also had some involvement in a failed ico at Avai fc but there is little information out there.
Two thoughts spring to mind,
Firstly they are working for Altman et al to try and take over the club.
The other would be a cash grab through an ico. The purchase shares to gain a controlling interest, launch an ico gifting the club/themselves 15% of the token release 85% goes on general sale. They then build the price and market sell dumping on the investors. Probably double their money and never be seen again.
Also if SportyCo is involved, there is a potential that blackbridge have borrowed the money from sportyCo with an agreement of a % of all turnover over a set period of time going back to SportyCo.
Whichever way you look at it, it doesn’t look good | | | |

They might not have spoken to the current Chairman; but I wouldn't rule out them having spoken to the previous Chairman and/or the previous CEO/removed Director, which would fall under their claim to have spoken at depth with the Board.
This is starting to stink . The old Board are looking increasingly complicit. Hope I'm wrong. | | | |

By 'The Board' I guess these chancers mean former board members one in particular. | |

...or they could have actually been speaking to current members of our Boardroom couldn’t they, not necessarily our Chairman or new Directors? [Post edited 30 Jun 2021 18:02]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if former directors/employees of the club remain in contact with certain other current employees (and i wouldn't rule out current directors)
If so, those ousted may remain privy to confidential information which could easily be used against the best interests of the club
Is there a mole? More than one? There were certainly individuals who were highly discombobulated by events around the time of the AGMs/EGMs
If so, they're playing a very dangerous game

Very risky for anyone involved and also the club. A breach of GDPR could land individuals in a lot of trouble and a hefty fine for the club. | | | |

It certainly piqued my interest when I noticed where 140 shares from a former director went. |  | | |

Grindrod and Pockney need to go the same way as Bottomley and Rawlinson ASAP | | | |

The confirmation statement list of shareholders is showing as posted on 28/6/21 on the Companies House website.
It’s possible to Sherlock amongst the info on there. | |

That's certainly crossed my mind, without knowing the full details you'd imagine Pockney whilst being involved with the finances etc must have known about several goings on this last 18 months, how Grindrod and by whom he even got on the board too doesn't add up either | | | |

It wouldn’t surprise me to find Altman and Marcelli being involved.
They came into the club hoping to buy shares and takeover. Talks broke down with the old regime and they fought against the release of shares to someone else.
This wasn’t for the benefit of the club, this was to benefit them. I believe with a change in the boardroom, there would have been a hope that talks could move forward.
Instead the board has openly stated they want to release shares to the fans. Altman and Marcelli don’t want to invest more to still hold the same percentage of ownership.
This in my opinion will have forced their hand to act prior to any EGM. Not wanting to disgruntle the fans they employ a company to approach shareholders.
Maybe far fetched but not out of the realms of possibility. | | | |

Not posted on here for a while but just wanted to make you aware of my last 48hrs lurking activity.....
Yesterday:
Had my daily read of the forum, felt good about recent goings on, checked my credit card was still working and thought about my excuse to justify to the missus why Rochdale FC show on the statement following my upcoming season card purchase after a year out
Today:
Read this thread and put the credit card firmly back in my wallet for a while
This needs sorting |  | | |
| Sharehunters alert on 20:59 - Jun 30 with 3226 views | Stourdale |
It’s all very strange! You have a business holding £188 on the books in 2019 having successfully brokered deals at 3 clubs and being mentioned at the likes of Hull, Newcastle, Middlesbrough.
Whatever it is, I think we may be in for a continuation of the turbulence | | | |

Have I worked it out correctly 100 have gone to a newish director and 20 each to 2 other members of staff 1 fairly new and one long standing? [Post edited 30 Jun 2021 20:04]

Yes, and I have my own theory about why the long standing one was given theirs. | | | |

I was shocked, got the impression that person has Rochdale printed through them like a stick of rock. Surprised he would take shares from the man who tried to sell the club the way he did. | |

well according to the Confirmation statement Nick Grindrod is a new shareholder with 100 shares, ditto Jack Northover with 20, ditto George Delves with 20 and D Bottomley's holding is down by 140 - circumstantial but?? | |
