A further three people is more likely 1 person registering 3 times in order to cast a vote. Probably a Bottomley supporter. DB2? FF1?

All Bottomley supporters are tvvats. Kudos to Judd, the lone voice many years ago who honed in on what we all should have seen. He only saw it because he's gained wisdom with years, and he's got many years!


Very kind of you to say, but our win in ridding the club of this vermin was a breathtakingly organised team effort. We may not share the same world view but we are all committed to this club.


What I saw was basic due diligence.

This poll from April 2021 appears to have been proven right.

90% against.
18 votes for.

Banned from being a 'Relevant Person' indicates that he shall be CEO of nothing in football for two years.

As Trevor Birch of the EFL said himself:
"These sanctions serve as an appropriate reminder to Clubs, their officials and potential owners that disregarding those requirements can lead to significant consequences as this case has proved.”

The correct answer appears to have been "No"!

Interesting that the EFL failed to mention that the ‘Updates’ were needed because this case showed you could drive a bus through the previous EFL rules.

Said it before, but the entire Football League owes a debt of gratitude to the work undertaken by everyone associated with Rochdale AFC over the past 15 months. Doubt it'll be much more widely acknowledged, but should be recorded here

There should be no credit attributed to the EFL as a "governing" body following today's statement and sanctions. But for Dale, they'd still be following their old discredited rulebook. Shame on them

The EFL - not fit for purpose without Dale showing them the way

Not fit for purpose. Never have been and probably never will. Pity Dale are "too small" to matter in their eyes. Sadly, it will need a bigger named club to go for anything to change. Or an avalanche of smaller ones.

Up the Dale - NOT for sale!
Poll: Is it coming home?

That avalanche may not be too far away if this winter proves to be as apocalyptic as seems possible, clubs is debt will be under severe pressure to pay their loans if interest rates continue to increase, especially if crowds decline and other costs continue to rise. There are clubs in L2 with multi-millions of debt, large squads and large salary costs, not to mention club cars, floodlights, etc etc.

Just been reminded this logo was doing the rounds in April 2021. Most appropriate given the factual history of events after that date up to and including this week. The things some people never forget.
