There's plenty of praise being given in matchday threads, the "official" recognition isn't in itself any less deserved
Dale fans don't necessarily need to have it confirmed elsewhere, we say it at the time, independently |

Well whaddya know! Coincidences never cease
Minutes from the meeting landing in email inboxes at 3.04am, 54 days after the event
Extraordinarily Special, and accompanied by thanks to those Trust members who called the meeting, aka "the mob" incl. "the Toxic Five"
Their words
Will read those minutes later [Post edited 11 Sep 3:52]

Thanks Tony, for putting that summary together
One thing that'd go a long way to achieving Gold status would be the issuance of the Golden Share
At the EGM in mid-July, i raised the question with the Trust board about how this was proceeding. The brief answer was something like "we're a couple of weeks away"
Getting on for two months later... nothing. No news, no minutes from that meeting as per the Trust requirement to produce
Perhaps someone from the Trust could put something together about what the hell is going on and post on here (so not just for the Trust members who might or might not get an email) but for the fanbase as a whole |

I hope you're right, because the only way i'd have any confidence of getting out of this league (upwards!) is by finishing where we are now |

Top class piece, takes into account every detail and nuance we've witnessed
Especially liked the take on how players who featured in the changed XI at Brackley - even Hendo - will be thinking of how they might fit into the scheme of things as the season progresses
What's happening behind the scenes with the Taylor/Done impact on McNulty can't be directly observed of course, but still, it's there. (If it wasn't, they might as well not be there!) I think it's a genuine coaching team effort and the regaining of momentum should, at some point, be acknowledged in that context. I think that's only fair |

JM's error has been thoroughly dissected. If that's something he can put down to experience and nothing similar or any other major self-inflicted wounds happens this season... well, who knows?
It can never be turned into a positive, but at least he's shown he can recover momentum after a setback, and hopefully Done & Taylor are having their influence on that |

That's up to each individual of course, we can all think for ourselves
The timing of the renewal letter is indeed noteworthy... |

Added to which, the rain lashing in from the North Sea makes it look like a proper cup tie, with the pitch getting more saturated by the minute
Not something the spoilt Utd brats (Mbuemo the honourable exception) will be used to |

One of the key pillars in the acquisition of the club by the Ogdens was the placing of a Golden Share in the hands of the Trust
As things stand, i have no confidence in the current Trust board to be trusted with a Golden Share, should it be issued |

What should be of concern to us all, whether Trust members or not; even if there's nothing to suggest that any safeguarding principles have been actively breached - is the potential for reputational damage to both the Trust and also the club as a whole
I've no doubt there will be voices that suggest that, given our league position and the fantastic effort the Ogdens have put in to bring forward the club as a community asset, that no-one should be "rocking the boat". As the OP alludes to, and notwithstanding good work that's been put in by the Trust itself in community terms, due process has clearly been abandoned in favour of the "we know best, so shut up" attitude. This... from the Trust itself, taking the word trust to the cleaners
It's still very recent history that informs us what can happen when those in positions of authority at the club take that stance |

Losing a game can never be regarded as a "masterstroke", in any circumstances
If by October we're still in a great position, we should've been in a great position plus an extra point or three
JM isn't capable of masterstrokes, only very gradual improvements with self-inflicted setbacks along the way. A masterstroke requires a master; he's a plodder |

Likely the players will have built-in clauses which allows them to move if a price threshold is reached, so it'd not just be up to us whether they move or not
Good business by the club [Post edited 23 Aug 10:00]

Wouldn't have thought Taylor would be actively encouraging confrontation, maybe just not trying to suppress it. Plus, the recruitment of players with a bit more "bite" makes a difference
Regarding Taylor (don't know if this has been mentioned on here) but the red card he picked up on Saturday was rescinded at the end of the game [Post edited 21 Aug 15:21]
