Reply | Continuing To Reward Failure BBM

Should any Cardiff City fan be looking in, BBM was responsible for the worst stat in Rochdale AFC's history:
When we drew at home V Ipswich in April 2021, under the "hugely talented" (quote: David Bottomley) BBM, we completed a run of 17 consecutive home league games without a win - the worst such run in the club's existence. That season, until the victory V Swindon, we'd had one win out of 23 home games in all competitions.
There's reasons behind why he wasn't sacked well before this "record" was established.
He also got a one year contract extension and a pay rise on the back of this failure. Oh my, was RAFC in a mess at that time. Hopefully CCFC's owners will be more diligent than the mercenary controller we had at the time. |

Splendid. We can work all this out between fellow supporters and find a way forward that can last and be sustainable for future generations - the very ethos of the Ogden family investment. It might not be easy, but we'll get there in the best interests of RAFC.
No need for the factions and lack of accountability that (with bad owners) killed bury and made their fanbase a laughing stock. No need for coffins, handcuffs and drainpipes here!

Some very wise and considered observations in there. The club directors and McNulty in particular should give the views offered some serious credence. For them to ignore this podcast would be, without doubt, foolish.
Listen to your customers. They seem to have a better handle of on field events than those responsible. |

Our own loss. If it ain't broke, Jim'll break it. Ad nauseum.
Fair play to the BIFFO's for doing the business when our manager blatantly can't.
One wonders if the hooligan tendencies of too many of their fanbase will cost them in points when they get to League 2? It should have on several occasions in the NL.
Commiserations to Southend's fans who have put up one hell of a fight to save their club over many years and near death experiences. And their team who deservedly spanked us when Jim broke up a successful formula. |

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. |

Before this debate gets out of hand, let's think.
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.

They were on the pitch early in the second half. Wembley was far from assured.

Absolutely.
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. [Post edited 21 May 0:57]
