All of this.
Edit: without him we probably wouldn't have a club now [Post edited 5 Jun 10:02]

Andy Duff (in addition to his professional success referenced at MtB) very much fits the type of character you'd expect the Ogden's to want at the club.

Still keep thinking I'm going to wake up and none of this will have happened. It was all just a cruel dream. But it seems Daleys are allowed nice things after all. |

Fins made a similarly speculative signing but at least they didn't use an actual draft pick on him
PS what position does your wife play? 🤔 😃 |

I presume you didn't get the retained/released list either Kel? They just emailed that to me too |

We have been difficult to watch on many occasions this year. Really difficult. But as I mentioned previously, BJ stopped the slide. Saw this earlier. Hence my reference to a 'prove it' year. He now has to show he can build on what he's started and that we haven't just got as far as we can under him with no further upside.

But they will take notice of fans voting with their feet. No good trying to fill a bucket if it's leaking faster than you can fill it |

I disagree with proving anything to anyone. I have started reading CD's book recently and he was talking about getting shut of managers in his role of Chairman after the fans have turned against them.
As can be seen from several recent threads, the fanbase is largely struggling with the style of football we are trying to play this season. Add to that the head-scratching decisions BJ is making (see 442s 11.40 post in ref/match thread not to mention we could be 3 or 4 down after pissing about at the back again) and it's fair to say that he is a long way from having unanimous approval from the fanbase. In his favour, he has changed the team ethos from apathy last season to togetherness this season and is Dale through and through. He will also have a better budget for recruitment and an opportunity to shape shift the squad again this summer.
If he doesn't prove we can play differently depending on circumstances and adapt in-game though, he will have proven he's not the right man for the job. Some have already reached this point already. I'm getting there but not totally convinced just yet.
I do not disagree with your PS though. Their gesture is incredibly generous. [Post edited 20 Apr 12:51]

This won't suit everyone, but essentially, the board and manager should now have a "prove it" year with the benefit of additional resources. If things don't improve and we don't progress, then I would hope appropriate actions would be taken by our new owners, but it's way too premature for such discussions at this juncture. All in all, from where we were, this is about as much as we could ever have hoped for in our collective wildest dreams after the stark EGM and where we stood after it.

Thanks for the update Judd. In an age of noise, sometimes 'no news' is good news. Every indication that we may finally be making progress towards the right future trajectory, and in the right way. Brilliant. |

My last detour of the season via Heywood and Norden today (can't make Tuesday). Shocking mess that. I'll be thankful for a new season without roadworks later this year. In that order. |

BDB and James - the 15' applause is already sorted. Not sure if scoreboard will be involved? Could be a distraction, especially if the Charlton goal was featured!
