Mr Altman has been speaking up about some very worthwhile causes. Anyone who wishes to discuss why his share sale runs contrary to his principles can share their views with him here...

Dan Altman
Founder of smarterscout.com and North Yard Analytics — Co-Founder of NYK Capital Management — Rochdale AFC supporter
Today we're dialing down the smarterscout presence on social media to focus on our main sources of revenue growth: clubs, agencies, media outlets, and betting services. Social media were critical to our early growth, and they brought us members from around the world. They also opened an unexpected door at an important time.
That door was the door to activism. For the past two years, I tried to use the smarterscout platform to support the rights of Black people, LGBTQ+ people, and others who had been denied equal rights by society. Why? Because if I had a platform, I had an obligation to use it to help people as much as I could.
There was a mix of reactions. We were accused by onlookers of "wokeness," as though that were some kind of sin. Some said we were just doing it for marketing. Well, we weren't doing it to promote smarterscout — but we were pushing progressive values and a fairer society. So in that sense, guilty as charged.
Another favorite of mine was the accusation of "virtue signaling". This could only have come from someone incapable of believing that the owner of a company would want to support human and civil rights publicly. Maybe this person was trying to figure out where the percentage was (I don't know, and I don't care). Maybe this person was asking why these rights were worth supporting (please, read a book).
In fact, profit is the furthest thing from my mind when it comes to social issues. (And believe me, I've thought about profit and social investment quite a bit: https://lnkd.in/eJ-tBAK) This is why I put our money where our mouth was by joining Common Goal. We make a donation every year out of our revenue. The return goes to society, not to us.
Our platform isn't very big. We have about 25k followers on social media and 17k members on our site. But I never thought that we'd be able to reach so many people. So I did what I thought we had to do — what I'd want my kids to do, too. And I hope that we brought them a tiny bit closer to living in a better world than ours.

Sent a message of concern at the beginning of July. Because he hasn't read/respond can't send another one.
Was planning on sending links to RAFCBLUE's excellent threads about Curran and Rose et al. So Mr Altman can see the calibre of the people he and Mr Marcelli are selling out to. | |

added my twopenneth, hope others do too.
Seem to recall that it was the 'Dale through & through' Mr Dunphy who first collapsed this house of cards by selling out to Altman & Marcelli!
Beware the claims of all leaders and would-be leaders! | |

Someone else whose interest in buying into the club was lauded by quite a few on here.
Would he be refused should he apply to buy (more) shares? | | | |

Not so sure he was lauded, he came across very well in the infamous AGM yet failed to follow through with his promises | | | |

He sold his shares (and Emre’s) to Morton House. We believe he’s been paid in full for them. He’s nowt to do with us anymore. Another one who tried to hoodwink lifelong Dale supporters by buying a few trinkets from the club shop and waving a scarf around.
He dropped us as soon as he didn’t get his own way. | |

But will we learn our lesson the next time three (two) wise men approach with their gold frankincense and myrrh?
My mother used to say if it looks too good to be true then it probably is.
They even had form at Swansea didnt they? | | | |

Once shares have been extended to a wider fanbase and our accounts given the boost that'll bring, one would hope the collective wisdom of Daleys will be sufficient to offset any further nefarious dealings
It's been said that we may need further sources of funding in the future, over and above our current model of developing players, cup runs and recently having increased sponsorship on board. It should then be a matter of thorough review rather than being approached as such
The fly in the ointment is any outstanding major shareholdings held by parties whose interests don't coincide with ours, but that's up to those individuals rather than the club

Yes. I think you're right. Their system was trialed at Swansea but they got relegated.
Then they rocked up here with their system and we got relegated.
Some system!
Perhaps we could point the Americans in the direction of Meadow Lane! |  |

He may have received his money, but until the (hopefully diluted) share certificates change hands it's hard to be fully rid of any of the past lot. [Post edited 11 Oct 2021 13:45]

Morton House have power of attorney over the shares at present. As long as they do, the original owners, legally, cannot do much. | |

I think the fact that no one from Morton House turned up to the EGM is the proof. | |

Seems like "football data" and its ownership is becoming a legal issue.
And wasn't lawyer Chris Farnell at daggers drawn (and allegedly more?) with a certain Matt Southall?
Oh, how these things collide... What must Dan and Emre be thinking?
