| MORTON HOUSE / Why the EFL are about to hang Southall as the sacrificial lamb. 16:32 - Oct 5 with 3135 views | RAFCBLUE |
When you stand back and look at it coldly, Matthew Southall has been nothing more than an extension of Morton House's June and July takeover efforts which came after two previous directors were removed from the Board by fan vote.
Southall is a bluff. A trojan horse. Designed to get under the skin of RAFC by Curran, Rose and Jarvis and to secretly see if he can do a deal that could not be done.
Having elicited illegal shareholder information and contacts the literally hit a wall at 42% buying shares from shareholders who thought more of money than the love of their club.
They did not envisage the EFL charging them with disciplinary offences on the 21 August 2021 and that, makes a takeover by Morton House, highly impossible and for them to sell their shares very difficult.
24 hours from the EGM, the EFL must be hoping we win.
Having seen countless number of clubs go to the wall because of bad owners (Macclesfield, Bury) or nearly go to the wall (Swindon), they are about to possibly have a case to hang on the wall as one where standing up against the b*llshitters is going to have proved to be the right thing to do.
If you are a shareholder, PLEASE get down to the club tomorrow and lend this Board your full support - they exist only for your benefit and want to move the club away from the people who, quite frankly, are going in the Hall of Shame for having attempted to sell the club down the river.
This Summer, the Trust have been immense, the fans have been immense and this whole episode has united a club who before Morton House was more than a little bit disenfranchised.
RAFC exists for us all. Tomorrow night 300+ shareholders can send the loudest of messages to Jarvis, Southall, Curran and others who think that clubs in the lower leagues are easy pickings.
The EFL want us to win and I'd suspect that if we do, they will progress the disciplinary sanctions so far into the future that these people never bother English Football ever again. |  |

Cautiously optimistic now again. Who knows what they might have up their sleeves but - having passed the witching hour - with no sign of the injunction, they have hopefully, run out of ideas.
One thing you hinted at RAFCB is whether Southall had been brought in to see if he could put the frighteners on us. If he is as skint as he reputedly is though, has he been given the shares? As they are going to be pretty worthless to them soon. |  |

Voted down in error, apologies RAFC.
A brilliant post, and alongside everything you have pointed out, we have a couple of questions:
- At what point does (did) Matt Southall regret ever getting involved with Alexander Jarvis?
- At what point did Morton House realise Bottomley had sold them a dud?
- If they can't shift the shares on to anybody else for the price they paid, how would Morton House get their money back? Would former directors be nervous about a proverbial 'knock at the door'?
- If the knock doesn't come from MH associates, could it still come from the various gov agencies who deal with the Proceeds of Crime act? |  |

For me the 25% figure was a bit of a red herring. |  |

Speaking of herrings, I've not seen this article posted on here which relates to the Derby takeover.

The Addicks were relegated from the Championship in 2020 amid mass controversy. Matt Southall and Tahnoon Nimer came into the club and brought with them plenty of optimism following years of Roland Duchatalet’s reign.
But the pair would prove criminal — Southall especially. It eventually became clear that neither had good intentions for Charlton Athletic, but were solely interested in lining their own pockets.
I'm no scholar but doesn't the word "criminal" mean "a person who has committed a crime"?
Not sure how being called a "criminal" by a leading football website allows you to go and sit the EFL tests if you buy Morton House shares.
You'd think the EFL have rules to stop people like that. | |

I had a thought last night that the EFL might actually be taking their time on this to completely bottom it out.
If you think about what they have done with Derby and then Reading, they haven't rushed.
The EFL have also been very visible this season in making sure rules are enforced.
Could it be that the EFL are gathering all the information so well so as to make sure that they nail Southall (and anyone else) who they suspect has been guilty of wrongdoing over Morton House?
As we've seen with Derby and Reading, previous reputations mean nothing. | |
