The Dale Trust is more than likely going to be the owner of the "Golden Share" when all the legals go through. Therefore, it is very important that Dale Trust is a viable organisation aside of other things going on that it can no doubt contribute towards. IMHO a connection in the boardroom of excellent owners will do no harm.
Remember, we had genuine, trustworthy custodians running the club for decades. In its early days, Dale Trust had no interest in a place on the board as members knew there were good people running the club. Roger (to name but one) ended all that. Never again. We have genuine custodians in charge again, but must ALWAYS remain vigilant in the light of past experience. Ownership of the Golden Share is our insurance. Dale Trust has to continue for that reason alone.
Should anyone not have received the Trust e mail of late yesterday evening....
"Trust Club Board Director Appointment. Vote Result
The survey for Trust members to decide whether or not to continue to be represented on the Club Board as the Trust appointed Club Board Director was emailed direct to members and also posted on the Trust website. The result was as follows:
For 163 (90.56%) - Against 17 (9.44%).
Total votes cast: 180.
The number of emails sent was 694, of which 453 were opened."
Remember the disaster of bury - numerous fans organisations claiming legitimacy fighting with each other when the enemy was the owner(s). That is the LAST road we need to go down.
When shareholders kicked off the rogue directors in 2021, we then faced the filth of Morton House MGT And First Form Construction, and the clueless vermin Southall, Jarvis, Roger et al. The fanbase was 100% UNITED to win those battles, with the directors, and we won. Disparity between Dale Trust, the CAB and Dale 1907 is unnecessary. We want the same things. Unity is strength.
We have excellent owners, nobody will deny that.
The "Golden Share" has to be held by the established organisation, and large shareholder, Dale Trust. We were told at the club AGM last December that we'd have the details sorted early this year. We've heard nothing since. I hope any wobbles between fan representative groups aren't holding this crucial development back.
The Trust director role hasn't been as effective as we'd like of late. Maybe a new face with renewed vigour for the role could change that.
Methinks the Trust needs to get its act together. I'm sure it can, it has the talent to do so. The last thing we need is hours of contemplating navels regarding rules.
Given the alleged "clout" of so many of the teams remaining in this league, plus the alleged "clout" of Carlisle and Morecambe, and no doubt Scunthorpe, is next season worth bothering with? I'd thought we'd escaped the "poor little Rochdale" tag, but our resident tactical genius (sarcasm alert) is inadvertently or otherwise dragging us back there!
He needs to refresh his attitude, or make way for someone without a victim mentality who is prepared to battle with and for RAFC, and not wilt when it matters.
Encouragement from the touchline > standing silent with hands in pockets. We had enough of that with Steve Eyre.
They were on the pitch early in the second half. Wembley was far from assured. I don't happy clap mediocrity so stop telling lies. You seem keen to break ground regulations. Why?
But, yet again, mid-game pitch invasions by their "fans". It's happened so many times this season in breach of NL regulations. Why can Oldham get away with it? Where is the punishment?
That said, weren't York projecting themselves as the next Wrexham? Oops.
Curious that football pundit Carragher on Sky who spat in a child's face is still allowed to continue in the role. Different standards by different broadcasters?
The question always asked when a manager's job is in the balance. There will be a multitude of applicants should the manager's job become available. The directors will make a decision accordingly. Happens all the time in football.
The Ogden Trust has done a magnificent job keeping RAFC afloat and forward looking. They deserve our support for that. Season ticket already purchased. At key moments in games, can this manager be relied upon to bring the success their commitment deserves? No.
If you repeated the same mistakes time and time again, showed no capability to rectify them, causing a loss of confidence in your business and its customers, should you be kept on in your job?
Indeed. Never mentions "clout" when we win. Southend have had horrendous ownership issues for years.
The total lack of personal responsibility, and finding excuses for and diversions from last night's debacle (and others) in this is blatant. We know what we saw.
Tonight is another "big" game, thrown away by a manager who appears incapable of learning from mistakes and whose game management last night was gormless at best. AGAIN. With "Sit back Jim", we handed Southend an opportunity that their players and management team took on with relish. Three goals in half an hour is the evidence. Another bigger than average crowd that fully got behind Dale left disappointed. AGAIN!
Jim has took us so far, well done, but his inability to improve, learn and change with experience is very concerning. The club will not progress without better tactical acumen from its manager. Can't see it coming.
Jim had earned the chance to contest the FA Trophy semi-final and the play-off campaign despite serious misgivings in his management methods. He's messed up both opportunities. At home. Surely this will have been noted in the boardroom?
Well done Kevin Maher and Southend. You deserved that win, gift wrapped as it was after 65 minutes. The better manager won. All the best at FGR and maybe Wembley.
Indeed. The attendance for the next home game after the Spennymoor debacle was awful. We beat Eastleigh 4-0 that day and played well. But so p!$$p00r was the display in the FA trophy in front of a good crowd, encouraged to attend with positive advertising, even season ticket holders were staying away for Eastleigh, never mind occasional fans. That's "The Spennymoor Effect", and the finger points at the manager.
Recent games here on live broadcast TV, or those of a high profile have seen the team turn to water over the non-league seasons. The manager MUST address this failing before Thursday.
