Unfortunately details like that and communication on this topic hasn’t been up to the high standards they aspire to within that article. That’ll be accepted and apologies all round. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

You'd at least hope that all the Board members had been communicated with wouldn't you. GR is asleep at the wheel if he was | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

BBM contract confirmed on 13:53 - Mar 11 with 6729 views | Nigeriamark | So in essence a Burnley/Dyche type of deal the first time they were promoted. By working with a non-crippling player budget that hoped rather than targeted staying in the premier league, they allowed for a relegation and the first crack at getting them back up again, which he did. Let's see how BBM does. Now its announced I'm willing to give him a fresh start in league 2 for the first few months ..................All assuming he doesn't provide a miracle this season | ![](/images/avatars/1651.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I asked that last night re his initial contract. No and it's in bold in the article on the official site. [Post edited 11 Mar 2021 14:02]

BBM contract confirmed on 14:04 - Mar 11 with 6640 views | TomRAFC | We've been left to have big conversations about the future of our club without "the context". We've been told how important "the context" is. Comments about improved communication are pretty hollow at this point. They've been saying the same thing for years. This is a new level though. There have been fans wondering about the future of their club because the managers contract was apparently expiring. Could we afford to sack him? Would we let the contract expire? etc. Now it turns out that there was never really a risk of either of those. They've said they read the messageboard, they know we didn't know. We were left in the dark to have impassioned conversations on a completely moot point. I'd love to know when it was agreed. Not just to know how long we have been kept in the dark, but to check if we were performing in a way that deserved an extension at the time it was given. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

It also explains why BBM explained he was only interested in the process and not the result. He's bombproof until 22. | ![](/images/avatars/17584.gif) |

That’s why he can carry on not changing the way we play,not caring about the results and where we are in the league, his wages are safe for the next 16 months Not saying I would be bothered but if he gets the chance to ply his trade somewhere else he would jump ship no worries team Rochdale my ar$e! | ![](/images/avatars/5138.gif) |

BBM contract confirmed on 14:35 - Mar 11 with 6404 views | golfaduffy | It was staggeringly bad last night regarding the secret contract extension given to BBM without the knowledge of the other Directors. Why on Earth was the question not given to DB to answer? He would have been the person who gave the extension surely.? Why was it done without the knowledge of other Directors? The look on faces was cringeworthy. Why was it done without the knowledge of supporters When was it done? If it expires next May, could it have been done a few months ago? Is there anything else that DB has done without telling anyone? Any golden handshakes ? Pay offs to ex staff members?...working hard awards? pay rises etc? Bottomley... you are on very thin ice with this one. Who can hold him to account? Other Directors/The Trust/ Can the fans join together to force an EGM? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Total bollocks, of course. It's clearly a contract extension that wasn't communicated. Certainly not to the media team or fans, but possibly not the full board* There isn't an excuse to be made here, James. If there was they'd have used it in the confirmation article. * I'm not convinced on this. I'm not taking a gormless last minute stand-in Rawlingson as proof the board weren't aware or sanctioned it. | ![](/images/avatars/1199.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
