AGM / EGM /AGM / EGM Match update thread - kick off 7pm 18:54 - Jun 1 with 63116 viewsRAFCBLUE

A beautiful evening this evening at Spotland for one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures of the season.

Team news when we have it, but the Board are expected to play a flat back 5.

Zoom is filling up nicely with many in attendance.

They’re still taking questions from the floor - confirmed that not all directors knew about BBM’s contract extension.

Might get around to voting on DB and GR before July at this rate.

Well, that should lead to a dismissal/resignation. Position untenable.


There was an ‘internal investigation’ as to how it happened, headed by AK. The board decided to draw a line under things as ‘there were bigger fish to fry’ (TP’s words).

Some executives (nobody named) received pay rises of 10-15% during the pandemic.


Fancy that !! Fkcng shocking when the playing budget is reduced. This is a football club, not a personal piggy bank....... another reason for a resignation. Keep 'em coming.

There genuinely seems to be no end in sight.

I’ve got to give the board credit for withdrawing the four motions about share issuance but this last half an hour has been very damaging. Some tough questions from the floor followed by periods of awkward silence before an eventual (and sheepish) answer.

Hmmm...Executives in the plural.
Presumably one was the manager who was secretly awarded a pay rise as part of his new contract?

I don't think BBM would be classed as 'executive' more an 'employee'. Unless he holds a role we are unaware of.

John Smallwood confirms that one of the reasons he resigned was because he wasn’t aware of BBM’s extension. He has just asked if Tony Pockney wants to revisit his estimation of 10-15% with regards to executive pay rises, suggesting he’s aware it’s much more. Says there are several issues he wishes he was never made aware of.

It has been rumoured that 30% would be nearer the mark.

After consultation with DB, TP confirms that BBM’s contract extension became harder to announce as our poor form continued.

From the sounds of it, the original trust request for all board members to be put up for re-election was about right. An absolute shambles behind the scenes.

So was Tony Pockney, as a board member, unaware of the actual details of salary increases?
Or was he being slightly disingenuous when quoting 15%?

We’ve finally got to vote on the two directors’ removal. I’ve done my bit.

That may be the case in retrospect, but as a strategy, changing the Trust's focus to DB & GR may well have proved to be the more effective means to an end

JS seemed to suggest he was being disingenuous, unless he was offering him a way out. Hard to tell but TP has always come across as a ‘straight’ bloke.

Whilst cutting the playing budget. Shameful.
