Greetings Rochdale fans.
My name is DaleEamonn and I am a freelance investigative journalist. I first became professionally aware of the plight of Rochdale earlier this Summer when I saw the terrible news that Alexander Jarvis and Andy Curran were considering involving themselves financially with your football club.
Alexander Jarvis is not to be trusted. He is a brazen charlatan and fantasist and tells any form of lie to anyone who will listen to him to progress his own agenda.
You will have read extensively about Andy Curran and his involvement in Swindon Town over the last few years. Less known is Andy Curran’s previous involvements with Southend United and Colchester United, two Essex based clubs and his involvement in attempts to progress his son Taylor’s career by paying for his wages in breach of EFL rules.
As you will read below, Alexander Jarvis does not have any form of deal in place for your club which can be completed or done without EFL approval. If the EFL do not given any approval to Alexander Jarvis or his clients then your club is safe from these people who definitely do not have you or your club’s best interests at heart.
Below is the transcript of an email I received on Tuesday 20th July 2021 at 11.56AM from Alexander Jarvis (ajarvis@blackbridgesports.com) that also shared an attached Microsoft PowerPoint document (File name: 2021 AGM Presntation1.pptx) which was 928Kb.
The attachment was at eleven slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation given by David Bottomley at Rochdale AGM on Tuesday 1st June 2021.
I have forwarded this email and the attachment to it to the COO of your football club, the Board of your Supporters Trust, to Nick Craig (Director of Legal Affairs - EFL) and to Ryan Hyde (Governance Manager - EFL).
Tonight, I share it with all of you, the fans because it is important that you see Alexander Jarvis for what he is.
The full and unabridged transcript of Alexander Jarvis’ email reads as follows:
From: Alexander SW Jarvis <ajarvis@blackbridgesports.com>
Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2021 11:56 AM
To: Eamonn
Subject: 2021 AGM Presentation / Revised Offer
Eamonn,
I trust this email finds you well, apologies for the delay in response, I have had a few days off on holiday.
That is correct, I am not the purchaser, nor have I ever purchased an EFL Club and have had no dealings with the EFL to date. As in the takeover process the lawyers are mostly involved.
It is also correct that no ‘takeover' is planned. My Client’s are merely investors who following a presentation by the Club several months back (I have attached for your reference) see Rochdale as an opportunity to get involved with a relatively well-run club where they can provide financial support with the aim of leaving it in a better position than when they came in, whilst enjoying a game and a beer on a Saturday afternoon. It also goes without saying, they do see the opportunity of seeing a healthy return on their investment in the future.
However, as someone with your wealth of knowledge in wealth management and the financial sector, I’m sure you would not advise any of your clients to invest significant sums into a business in which they had no control, for inexperienced people to spend their money as they please.
To conclude this deal to both parties satisfaction, my client is prepared to pay your clients £10 per share, however, on the basis both of your clients (with the circa 40,000 shares) agree to the deal. Further, my client will pay yourself £10,000 commission for facilitating the transaction, which they are happy to pay on signing.
Should you have any doubts as to my Clients availability of funds, please feel free to contact Gatleys who are able to confirm to you that £1 million has been paid into their client account for the purposes of this transaction, which i'm sure will alleviate any concerns.
My client wishes to execute the agreement with your clients within the next 24 hours and complete the transaction immediately upon approval from the EFL in line with EFL regulations. I can confirm that the EFL are now in receipt of my Clients documents in line with the requirements of the Owners and Directors Test and we anticipate approval within the next 7 days.
I trust you will find the above satisfactory and look forward to concluding the matter.
Kind regards
Alexander
With regards to the Microsoft PowerPoint attachment, forensic IT examination of the Microsoft Powerpoint file shows conclusively that it was last saved by David Bottomley at 15.10 on Friday 4 June 2021.
It is unclear is how and when Alexander Jarvis obtained this email attachment, last saved by David Bottomley on 4 June 2021 and whether Alexander Jarvis obtained it legally or obtained it illegally.
What is clear is the lie in the email transcript which noted Alexander Jarvis’ investor “who following a presentation by the Club several months back (I have attached for your reference)” was seeking to invest.
The date of the Annual General Meeting of 1st June 2021, the forensic date on the IT file being saved on 4th June 2021 and the fact an Annual General Meeting is for shareholders only discredits why Alexander Jarvis would have this file in his possession for that reason.
EDITORIAL FOOTNOTE:
David Roger Bottomley served as a statutory director of Rochdale Association Football Club Limited (The) between 29 May 2015 and 1 June 2021. David Roger Bottomley left his role as CEO by “mutual consent” on 28 June 2021. |  | | |  |

It is perhaps relevant to point out a conversation that took place when I met with Curran and Jarvis on 6th July. He stated that in the run up to the EGM, all his calls to DB were ignored. My assumption from that was because the Club had given preferred investor status to MH. He did say in the days following the EGM, he was contacted "out of the blue" by DB that he said he found strange given all the ignored calls. This instigated his renewed interest in the club.
This conversation was witnessed. [Post edited 16 Aug 2021 16:55]

Its probably pure coincidence that an amended PowerPoint presentation was emailed to Jarvis. |  |

So; it very much sounds as though David Bottomley actively encouraged Curran & Rose to launch their hostile takeover bid whilst he was still employed as CEO, but crucially, after he was removed as a Director, and thus he was acting outside his authority; knowing full well that the shareholders had voted strongly against any takeover just a couple of days before.
Oh my... if I were Bottomley; I'd be very worried. And likewise if I were Curran or Rose, I'd be looking very closely at Bottomley and Jarvis and asking myself why did I ever involve amateurs. | | | |

also around the 5th august, the alleged attempt by Jarvis to solicit details of fans who are against the takeover for the sum of £10,000.
what is it about blackbridge finance and £10,000 payments? its almost as if there is a £10,000 limit on certain types of payment without setting alarm bells ringing with banks etc. [Post edited 16 Aug 2021 21:49]

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury... you have now heard and seen all the evidence before you. Before you retire to consider your verdict I must remind you that you have to be absolutely sure of guilt, beyond any reasonable doubt.
When you have reached your verdict, you may deliver it to this forum. | | | |

A great summary of the timeline followed.
To me there are some key points that the EFL can demand answers from Jarvis and Curran:
1) who sent the power point presentation and when - if this wasn’t from a club email address then why?
2) why was this information used to persuade shareholders to sell shares by giving incorrect /misleading information
If Curran and Rose are to be considered fit and proper these questions must be answered.
Were they supplied with confidential information without the consent of the club which they used to try and take over the club?
Or did they believe it was supplied with the clubs consent but they chose to ignore an NDA agreement when the deal started to go sour?
