ALEXANDER JARVIS IS NOW TRYING...... 22:05 - Aug 10 with 39691 views | RAFCBLUE | .....to dump the shares in Rochdale Football Club that his clients Andrew Curran and Darrell Rose don't yet legally own at £6 a share! Here's the thing folks. Young Jarvis has set all of this up on a bit of a flyer. Back in early May, Alexander Jarvis is claiming in leaked emails that Alexander Jarvis met with former CEO David Bottomley with regard to a takeover of the club. David Bottomley openly admitted in public interveiws available on YouTube that he wanted an outside investor and a training ground for Dale and was prepared to compromise the integrity 100 years of league football to do that and so that he could be a part of a club that owned its own training ground. Jarvis wanted to do a deal - any deal he could given quite a poor track record of failing with a number of football clubs where he was the nearly man. Here's the first bit of humour. Jarvis reckoned he was so much brighter than most at the club he was bragging about it to quite a lot of people. Jarvis believed that those running the club doesn't really understand business and that he'd be able to be used and moulded to what Jarvis wanted and then tossed aside. At the Swindon game on 13th April, the one with the protest, a secret behind closed doors beauty parade was held. Andy Curran was in the building that night. Rochdale were relegated vs Doncaster and (as witnesses have noted) the champagne was opened. Relegated and hopeless under BBM a takeover would now be seen as a positive if Rochdale wanted to "survive" Bottomley and Rawlinson were removed democratically at an EGM on 1 June 2021 by a Trust motion in line delivered in line with the Companies Act. Jarvis persevered. Opportunists always do. A deal was verbally done for Andrew Kilpatrick's shares. Jarvis arranged an Non Disclosure Agreement - "NDA" with Kilpatrick and a power of attorney so that he could control the 110,000 shares. Roughly 22% of the club. Similarly Jarvis then reached across the pond to the United States of America and did the same trick with Dan Altman and Emre Marcelli. Two more NDAs, two more powers of attorney and hey presto another 74,685 shares. Roughly 14% of the club with that transaction and now 36% of the club all in. This is easy pickings thought Jarvis and armed with both a list of shareholders and their contact details, David Bottomley's pre-AGM presentation and other information sourced from his relationship with the former CEO, he set about trying to secure a further 14% of shares. Alexander Jarvis has emailed David Bottomley's private shareholder presentation to external parties which does make you question how Alexander Jarvis got hold of it? I am sure that these emails from Alexander Jarvis could be reproduced in the public domain if required. Curran and Rose were persuaded by Jarvis to then move their funds to a law firm; Gateley PLC and Gateley PLC were given the job of rounding up all of the documents for Kilpatrick, Altman and Marcelli and writing them in such a way that meant the payment was completely conditional on getting control of the club. Gateley PLC were asked to advises on a range of corporate matters, including the acquisition and general corporate governance matters. The money still sits in their hands and hasn't move as the deal hasn't moved as Jarvis wanted. Now, we all then know that Jarvis makes a big mistake and lets the cat out of the bag. His Blackbridge Sports email address is compromised and in the process he manages to loses a lot of his own data - ironic really that having been handed the private email addresses and phone numbers of certain shareholders, which he used to make emails as calls, he makes the rookie error of leaving his data unprotected. The breach exposed Curran and Rose and all they had previously kept secret. Meanwhile in London, Andrew Kilpatrick is saying "Where is my money Alex?" In the USA, Dan Altman and Emre Marcelli are asking "When will we complete and get paid Alex?" Jarvis tells them some cock and bull story about "the next few days" and from that bedlam ensues with the EFL. Rochdale fans are called "small minded" and "nancy boys" by one of the buying party and Jarvis has to backtrack in the Daily Telegraph. The upshot is, the Curran and Rose have been committed to nearly £1m of purchases that they can't get out of but they don't want to make those purchases unless they can guarantee control. They are exposed financially and they can't simply withdraw than money back out of Gateley PLC. They've gone from being really keen to buy the club to being really keen to not buy the club. Andy Curran isn't answering his phone anymore, Alex Jarvis has not go a lot of friends left as between people at the club, Curran and Rose no one has got what they have wanted. So tonight, if you want to buy Rochdale shares from Jarvis you can do so for the sum of £6 a share. Jarvis is now a seller not a buyer because, if he doesn't complete the purchases of Kilpatrick, Altman and Marcelli then they will sue him and sue Curran and Rose for what is known legally as "specific performance" or in English - pay me what I am owed. The last thing that Darrell Rose and Andrew Curran want is to turn up in the High Court being sued by Kilpatrick, Altman and Marcelli. The second last thing they want is to sink a cool million quid into a minority shareholding of a well organised, well run and well mobilised club where virtually every supporter knows forensic details about them that are in the public domain. Supporters invariably have long memories. So too do the folks at HMRC, various landlords of rental properties that have rent owning and anyone who wants to type their names into Google, including the EFL and quite a lot of Swindon Town fans! Add into that a sprinkling of a cast of characters, Kelly Curran, Taylor Curran, Denise Valarie Courtnell, Oliver Rose, Faical Safouane, Mark Farrugia and many more and the whole thing is completely in the public domain. At £6 a share Jarvis is trying to save face and his skin and make his clients a 20% return in order to pay Gateley PLC's not insubstantial legal fees. Practically those shares are all worthless because there is no market for them. And the best bit - Alex Jarvis is the one who has breached his own NDA's. Andrew Kilpatrick and Dan Altman will be FUMING to find out that that we know that they would sell the club down the river. You really could not make this up! Or could you?! Next up for Dale - Scunthorpe United (H). Next up for Jarvis - Essex (A) [Post edited 13 Aug 2021 19:55]

Based on press reports, Andrew Kelly has committed his shares to the Dale Trust. I do not believe that Alexander Jarvis has a NDA or agreement in place with Andrew Kelly unlike the ones that he has got with Andrew Kilpatrick, Dan Altman and Emre Marcelli. | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |

Stalemate. Imaging owning a patio table with five chairs. We own three of the chairs and the table. Jarvis has the right to buy (but hasn't actually bought) the two chairs. Now, we'll sit at the table and whilst Jarvis says he is coming to sit at the table he needs to pay for his patio chairs first. No payment; no chair. No chair, no point. | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |

You can assign the right to buy it judd. https://www.netlawman.co.uk/ia/how-to-buy-business Commercial contracts In any business there are ongoing contracts. These will be for supply of the goods or services of that business and for the purchase of goods and services of every kind. A business seller might assume that all such contracts will be transferred with the business assets. This is not so. The contract is with the owner of the business, whether a company or individual. The other party to a contract may be in a position to cancel or rescind a contract if you sell the business. It is therefore most important that you prepare the ground on all contracts, so that the buyer can obtain the benefit of them. Some contracts will be transferable without notice, some only with notice or consent. You should make sure the consent is in writing in the case of all contracts which go to the heart of the business. It may be necessary to novate some contracts after discussion with the third party concerned. I expect that these contacts with Kilpatrick, Altman and Marcelli are in the name of Morton House. Morton House can novate that to another person - judd for example - but Jarvis is insistent that judd pays £6 a share to Morton House for it. Then Morton House receives £6 a share - pays what it has agreed to Kilpatrick, Altman and Marcelli and pocket the difference. Easy money but Jarvis needs a buyer! | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |

https://www.ft.com/content/9418b322-ea5b-4220-af79-f061931ede50 British authorities, including the Financial Conduct Authority, HMRC and the National Crime Agency, are under pressure to clamp down on money laundering activity amid concerns that London is being used as a “laundromat” for illicit financial activity. That article is only 11 days old. I do believe that the EFL is a "British Authority" Remind me where Morton House's Registered Office is judd? | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |

Theoretically. The problem - if that circa 200,000 shares you have to find £1.2m And give it to Curran and Rose. And trust that it would work. Personally I hope Andrew Kilpatrick has to sue them. The would be hilarious given he sloped off as Chairman earlier this year, sloped off with his shares sold under the radar. The Sandy Lane end is not a fan of such behaviours. | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |

Moggy certainly wouldn't. I remember him giving David Kilpatrick a very hard time at a fans forum when the Board tried to give away the Sandy. What would it take to put on Moggy vs Jarvis for a charity boxing? Darrell Rose's relative "The Choirboy" can go on the undercard | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |

ALEXANDER JARVIS IS NOW TRYING...... on 23:21 - Aug 10 with 12166 views | RAFCBLUE | Can you imagine Andrew Curran in the High Court proactively taking action? "I'm a recluse your honour with no knowledge of Rochdale. I don't even want to buy the club!" I assume as a very high profile court it has more police in and around it than the average Maidstone United game. What will be more difficult is for them to get their money back and circulating around the nefarious network of companies. Jarvis has disrupted their normal operations. Not the best idea when there is a lot of money at stake. | ![](/images/avatars/6471.gif) |
