Absolutely no argument that the bare minimum rights of shareholders are being respected, but the privilege for shareholders as established by precedent dating back to 2013 for "the ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS FORUM" alongside a buffet to take place after the AGM has been removed in the manner that it has, using a tone that does not align itself with previous communication from the Ogden family, nor does it resonate with the ethos their investment is built on, is a concern, alongside that of unaudited accounts and the annual meeting being pushed as far back as possible in the calendar year. (Remember that the Trust had to remind the club in a meeting on 23rd November 2023 of its' obligations to hold an annual meeting that year, and this was minuted.)
As well as failing to recognise the contributions of retired directors, shareholders are now being denied a privilege their investments have previously enjoyed, via an open source, rather than the privacy of personal emails, advising that this privilege is planned to cease.
Given the unsolicited gift of the Golden Share illustrating the desire of the Ogden family to embrace recommendations of the fan led review, I am not sure why this cessation of the shareholder forum has been announced and in the manner that it has been with tacit acceptance from the largest ordinary shareholding body, seemingly failing to consult relevant interested parties.
It may not matter to some, granted, but the established opportunity to get privately into management detail has now been taken away from shareholders, which appears strange, and this sort of opportunity will not be afforded to fans at the fans forum, I dare say. |

You would think that, given the size of shareholding the Trust hold/held, that this issue would have been put to members first before an insipid acceptance without consultation. [Post edited 13 Nov 21:14]

It is eminently clear, then, that 2 credible sports journalists appear to have possibly clarified or alluded to the fact that maybe Burton have followed protocol in perhaps contacting our club in the first instance in order that the contracted manager could be approached about the vacant role at Burton and our club advised the compensation Burton would have to pay if Jim breached his current contract by terminating early and joining Burton, and this may or may not have led to Jim contacting/being contacted by Burton and/or our club to advise this was the case and that he was free to talk to Burton as a potential suitor, unless Jim moved first and the protocol was effectively reversed but still sort of followed in a fashion, understandable given that Jim's current employer may have planted a seed of doubt in his mind by telling Burton how much we expect to trouser from Jim moving if he severed ties and all links with Rochdale, and this series of events triggered a betting frenzy which had Jim as clear favourite eventually narrowed down the straight leg to 2, Jim thinking he had won but apparently hadn't because he hadn't and someone else has won and that is...someone off the cuff, I expect.
This series of definitely maybes has left Jim, much like Burton, appearing a bit like marmite in some areas, some think he is extracting the pee while others have buttoned up on rumour and speculation, zip zip hooray that he is staying put with his belt and braces approach.
Hopefully that clears it all up. Some poor sod, having caused turmoil in the betting markets of high street bookies, will now be a fiver down and trembling at the prospect of displaying his bare arse in the window of a well known clothing outlet.
Thanks for staying or not Jim. I doff my cap to you. |

They were sold earlier this year to a nordic consortium. The new ownership cannot have established themselves yet as stable. |

The payout would have been included in the total salaries line in the accounts. |

"Pretty good..."
Understatement of the century.
Those meat pies are to die for.
I did see an interested party in the Heywood shop recently but I got the impression he was just after the properties.
Such a shame. |

Was our erstwhile and recently unbanned from football CEO in attendance?
The one who, according to 3 statements I have seen, said he'd go to his own grave happy in the knowledge that Hendo would not break Reg's goal.scoring record? |

What can I say?
We were in the EFL as a club and the Trust the largest shareholder when I got involved.
I can only apologise. |

I can only apologise. We had set up to stream via our YouTube channel the live event, no idea who has agreed to this change, but it has not gone through any recognised procedure as far as I can determine. |
