Sahara (noun) - a desert in North Africa, extending from the Atlantic to the Red Sea and from the Mediterranean to central Mali, Niger, Chad, and Sudan: the largest desert in the world, occupying over a quarter of Africa;
Climate changes around the world are beginning to have a huge economic impact.
Tomorrow it is 140 days since Alexander Jarvis put out a statement on behalf of his client Mr Andrew Kirk Curran in the Manchester Evening News that had bravely claimed: "Furthermore, we have paid in excess of £1 million to date in consideration for shares, due diligence and legal costs."
In doing so Curran was confirmed as in for over £1m on 12th August 2021 all managed by the Scouse Disaster that is Alexander Jarvis.
Immediately after reading that article, on 16th August, the EFL charged Morton House with disciplinary proceedings. The EFL have these things called "rules" and the MEN article stated that the EFL "rules" had been broken.
It is alleged that Morton House MGT acquired Control of the Club, and a number of individuals became Relevant Persons without the prior consent of the EFL in accordance with the Owners’ and Directors’ Test (OADT).
The EFL’s objective was to gather additional evidence as it continued to investigate whether the Club, any Official, any Relevant Person(s) and/or any Persons wishing to acquire Control of the Club complied with the requirements of the OADT and whether any Relevant Person(s) are subject to a Disqualifying Condition.
Having considered the request for information made of them, Morton House MGT, on behalf of its directors, and representatives, has now informed the League that it is formally withdrawing from the approval process and plans to divest the shares acquired in the Club at the earliest opportunity.
Furthermore, Morton House MGT, its directors, and representatives, have confirmed to the League they are refusing to co-operate with the League’s ongoing investigations. Despite these developments, the EFL will be continuing with its disciplinary investigations into this matter and will take the most appropriate action available to it under its Regulations."
Note: Curran still in for £1m on 17th September 2021.
Now - what everyone in this pantomime had forgotten, including all of these parties, is that they had been seen, together at Spotland on the afternoon of 29th April 2021. Curran, Jarvis and Southall ALL visit Rochdale as a team for the same meeting.
Here is the crux:
8 months ago today - on 29th April 2021 - the three main characters were all seen, in Rochdale at the same place and at the same time. That April 2021 meeting was 105 days BEFORE Jarvis decided to read Mr Curran's statement to the Manchester Evening News.
What are the statistical changes of that happening?!
Fat Pat keeps a diligent notebook from behind the net curtains of her 2 up 2 down which doubles as the Wilbutts Lane Chippy. She saw them VERY clearly as many others who live and work around Spotland did.
Thank Christ the former CEO was SO security conscious and his car park barrier and ensuring the CCTV was turned on. Car park barriers stop cars and if you are driving from Worsley or Essex you need a car.
Andy Curran is not a happy bunny about all of these developments and his Christmas break has been disturbed by phone calls which have been going in and out of Worsley like an errant minor Instragram "influencer" taking lavish trips with her family to Dubai, Euro Disney and the Ski Slopes of the French and Swiss Alps (Covid-19 permitting).
When Andy lends someone £1m, he wants a return on that money and he always wants his money back.
Andy didn't drive up from Essex to attend that April meeting with Jarvis and Southall to lose £1m. Andy is very old fashioned. Borrow money from him, pay it back and if you do that then there is no need to resort to the boxing ring.
Unfortunately Southall is now feeling the pressure over quickly repaying that £1m more than the CSA knocking on asking if he will pay for Arabella but regrettably has no cash to do so.
The last thing he wants is not to be on Andy's happy list but the money has changed hands and some of the recipients have had not one, but TWO Caribbean holidays since August.
Would you believe, Matthew is on the verge of PULLING OUT and doing a runner and handing the baton back to the errant but keen Alexander Jarvis. Jarvis has even less brass to rub together than Southall.
We've always been a caring lot at Rochdale.
What we can say is that, we have noticed considerable disharmony in the Curran/Jarvis/Southall camp over the last 8 months and noted the influential players having a negative influence on other players.
Its now reaching the point where the Curran, Jarvis and and Southall might need to get some independent observations on how they could improve harmony within their team.
It is almost like they need a proven approach to successful team building and motivation and someone, anyone who could assist and support Matthew, Andy and Alexander by identifying and resolving the important psychological barriers some of the participants appeared burdened with from our lengthy observations.
The focal point all the way would be to ignite team and individuals morale whilst supporting Andy Curran to work out how Matthew Southall can ever pay him £1m back.
In these modern time and through strategic behavioural modelling tools that create winners anything could be possible.
Matthew, your last hope is here. Give these guys a ring (link below) and they can really help you resolve your issues with Andy.
PLEASE DO NOT CLICK IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY COMMITTED TO RESOLVING WITH ANDY CURRAN AND PAYING HIM BACK HIS £1m: https://tinyurl.com/adaz7hm5

MORTON HOUSE / Matthew Southall's £1m deal with Andy Curran is "on the roc on 22:28 - Jan 4 by RAFCBLUE
Wouldn't it be funny/ironic if to prevent the levels of extreme scrutiny which exposed Southall at Charlton by an excellent group of fans, he did a deal to use a Company to buy shares in an unsuspecting League 1 club?
Southall was seen at the club on 29th April 2021 for a meeting with Curran and Jarvis, the latter two known in the Manchester Evening News as "Morton House". Fat Pat saw it all when one of the group refused a big chip barm.
The deal was done, Jarvis told us, after the infamous line: "Furthermore, we have paid in excess of £1 million to date in consideration for shares, due diligence and legal costs. "
Southall admitted to the Dale Trust that he knew Jarvis: "Southall began by stating that he was contacted by Alexander Jarvis on behalf of Morton House with a view to a purchase of the shares. He said that he had known Jarvis for a few years and the pair had worked together before including at Charlton. Jarvis had told him that he had a deal that had “gone wrong” that might be of interest Southall" https://www.daletrust.co.uk/2021/10/10010/
Imagine putting your money into Morton House so you could hide in secret behind the name and then that money is snaffled by selling shareholders and squandered on holidays, cars, racehorse and having a good time.
There is no way of getting that £1.2m back if it has been spent!
If you want a laugh the Charlton fans put us onto this. Southall had a meeting on season ticket prices whilst his barber cut his hair.
“Southall had a meeting with the staff and we get to the boardroom and the geezer’s in there just about to do this meeting while there’s a barber behind him,” an employee revealed. “That’s so distasteful – arrogance of thinking I’ve got better things to do like cutting my hair while you talk to me about the season ticket campaign.
Demolition of existing garage, two storey front extension including porch, alterations to the front elevation including hipped to gable end, erection of gate and brick wall to the front boundary of the property.
Well I'm no property developer, but even I know that isn't £500k worth of work......is it possible that Jade Kate wasn't 100% truthful about the building works? Might the planning department at Salford be interested to see the current property? Just a thought.......

Anybody else bothered to look at his Twitter feed? He's an absolute charmer isn't he?!
Still find it hard to believe that the plastic queen attended BGS - wouldn't have happened in my day. Maybe she worked in the canteen to pay for her scouse brows when she was a teenager........

I’m sure I was either told or read somewhere that he was mocking Charlton fans on Twitter when Southall was involved there and trying to destroy their club.
He’ll obviously know what his son in law gets up to, so if he doesn’t think he’s a wrong ‘un then he can’t think much of his own daughter.

Just a few here from a quick search (worth reading through the threads and replies to each of the above). It appears Mr McManus has deleted a lot of tweets, and there are also some from an account that no longer exists - reading the replies to those tweets suggests the missing account belonged to Ms K J McManus.

Cutting his hair. Solitary.
The shyster.
The party's over It's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away It's time to wind up the masquerade Just make your mind up the piper must be paid
Well, well, well.
Just one month after the very open rumours in December 2021 that his deal was on the rocks, Matthew Southall writes a letter to the Trust. How very 1980's....
We have received a letter from Matthew Southall on behalf of Morton House this afternoon. 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.
It is going to be really important that we, the fans, and the wider Rochdale community are made aware of mistruths which have been perpetuated against Rochdale Football Club over many months.
Ever since Fat Pat launched her tirade against the discourteous men who refused a warm welcome and a greasy chip barm on 29th April 2021 and were then seen by all of Rochdale, we've all known that Matthew Southall has been involved in this little shindig ALL along.
He came to Dale that day with Andrew Curran and Alexander Jarvis and was able to talk freely in a Covid-19 secure environment with a now disgraced ex-CEO who was removed by shareholders on 1 June 2021.
The end of this story ends with fans having to launch a crowd funding campaign for a case that is about fan ownership and that needs to raise £130,000.
Tonight that fund stands at £16,116 to fund a court case that may last YEARS. Further donations of any kind are welcome here:
What I think is BRILLIANT about this new Board of Directors is that they have always wanted to work with Dale supporters.
They value Dale supporters. They are more than happy to speak with Dale supporters.
On Saturday they walked with hundreds of supporters to Oldham in solidarity.
The late David Clough proved what we all know. Our club is at the heart of the local community. Cloughie on his bike and with his Goldbond round showed that and then hundreds of Dale fans followed his example.
Rochdale AFC was founded in 1907 and since that time it has never had a majority owner. Presently the club has over 300 shareholders the majority of which are fans. To that end, it has always been a fan-owned club.
Back in June 2021 the board of directors of RAFC was overhauled and a new Chairman was appointed in Simon Gauge. The new board members are all fans of RAFC and all volunteer their time without taking any money out of the club. At the same time the Dale Trust obtained representation on the board for the first time in its history.
We were told in Summer 2021 a pack of lies by Alexander Jarvis and that the problems with a failed hostile takeover were all caused by the club.
He turned up at the club in a borrowed Rolls Royce Cullinan and left behind his email account!
Alexander's escapades and disastrous media handling meant Morton House were summoned to the EFL and multiple individuals charged with breaches of EFL rules. Then the best bit:
Having considered the request for information made of them, Morton House MGT, on behalf of its directors, and representatives, has now informed the League that it is formally withdrawing from the approval process and plans to divest the shares acquired in the Club at the earliest opportunity.
Furthermore, Morton House MGT, its directors, and representatives, have confirmed to the League they are refusing to co-operate with the League’s ongoing investigations. Despite these developments, the EFL will be continuing with its disciplinary investigations into this matter and will take the most appropriate action available to it under its Regulations.
We know that the club are co-operating with the EFL and have been since the Summer. You'd expect nothing else from a new Board of Directors that have done everything they have said they would do so far.
Dale supporters are looking forward to their investigation being resolved shortly. To achieve that Morton House will have to comply with the EFL investigation which they said in August 2021 they didn't want to do!
However the Dale Trust still needs money for its legal costs and is spreading the word and we need to remember.
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY MATTHEW SOUTHALL'S BEHAVIOURS
Charlton fans have been through this before. They have been by our side through all of this and they have said not to trust a word he says. They wrote for us a manual to point to:
Southall gets a mention. Jarvis too as a "minor" character.
If Southall's £1m deal with Andy Curran is on the rocks meaning he is writing letters to Dale Trust it must he has too much to lose now by not trying to see it through.
Or why would he not simply walk away and leave?
He's less welcome than David Bottomley and that says everything.
Up The Dale Not For Sale.
George Bernard Shaw had it right:
"He who can does; he who cannot, teaches."
https://www.visittheusa.co.uk/
Today is six months on from when the Manchester Evening News today us that Captain Phalacrosis had "struck a deal to buy a 25% stake".
In those six months, precisely sod all has happened.
Captain Sabotage introduced Matthew Southall simply as a character to rescue a deal gone wrong - Southall said as much to the Dale Trust in an interview here: https://www.daletrust.co.uk/2021/10/10010/
Southall began by stating that he was contacted by Alexander Jarvis on behalf of Morton House with a view to a purchase of the shares. He said that he had known Jarvis for a few years and the pair had worked together before including at Charlton. Jarvis had told him that he had a deal that had “gone wrong” that might be of interest Southall.
In that six months we have all found a lot about Southall and his family:
Sources close to Southall indicate that he is fuming that Jarvis botched this deal and is reminded of that every time someone uses the term "Captain Sabotage" its a reminder that Jarvo's incompetence has exposed David Bottomley, Andrew Curran, Darrell Rose, Denise Courtnell, Faical Safouane and Matthew Southall.
There's no way out now either for Captain Phalacrosis.
It's the end of March and the season is over in 5 weeks.
Wait until he has to tell Jade what has happened; it will be enough to make his hair stand on end.
Actually, maybe not.
She's leaving him soon though, you mark my words.
