Reply | Fan Survey on playing style
at 16:45 26 Apr 2024
Fan-owned didn't work out so what is it now? Fan managed? Why not set up a politburo for tactics? Better still, we can all vote on how many passes we want, shots on target, MAX sideways passes etc. REALLY let the manager know how to do it... |

If the Trust now know the details of the potential investor and have done tentative behind the scenes checks then why can't they introduce themselves to each other and speak prior to the EGM vote? That could easily be done via a video link if needed. The Trust were promised that they would be included in discussions with investors.
Would you be happy for that to happen and the Trust not comment their opinion?
Maybe the members of the Trust board don't fancy having dog shit put through their letterboxes or pilloried for 'endorsing' the potential new owners if things turn sour. After reading some of the comments made by numpties on the Facebook 'appreciation' page, I don't blame them.
This is not aimed at you TS, but it seems to me there are people around who want to have a guaranteed Fred Ratcliffe type take over - singing coom by yah whilst endowed with Dale tattoos. Very low probability.
We are on the brink of death, one which has been coming for longer than the current board and the monopoly man's work, as such, as was with the Covid vaccines, we are gonna have to weigh up the risk v reward and take the medicine as the alternative is (for us) guaranteed death.
We're not in a position to be so risk averse, unfortunately, and when 'cutting your cloth' becomes harakiri, something has to give.
Despite his general ineptitude in running the football club, based on the Trust statement, I endorse the Chairman's proposal. [Post edited 24 Feb 8:30]

Reply | Paddy McCourt innocent

It was visible in the original trial that Paddy was probably being stitched up. I said in the beginning that he would never be guilty of this; knowing him as well as I do, it was at complete odds with his character and an absolute nonsense.
Was disappointing to read the moronic ramblings about him from those who know nothing of him in the prior thread, but thankfully that level of ignoramus is alien to most of us.
He and his young family have been through plenty of stress and heartache in recent years and they will come through this stronger. |

No, but Saturday was shit audio - mic kept dropping. TBH, it seems to be much better at away grounds.
Looks like issues with the data connection at the stadium. |

One of the reasons cited for leaving the E.U was "unelected bureaucrats in Brussels" etc....
I see the Tories are using that Brexit sovereignty to give a shotgun life peerage and key office of state to an unelected pig botherer.
You couldn't make it up |

Through one of our German clients, I have learned a lot about the Bundesliga, specifically Fortuna Düsseldorf (client's base).
They are embarking on a groundbreaking trial of making entrance totally free and using the increased advertising revenue, 28,000 > 55,000 (capacity), to match the prior ticket sales and adding more to it on extra sales (merch/food) etc.
https://apnews.com/article/free-tickets-fortuna-duesseldorf-kaiserslautern-bb03e
"The hope is to reconnect Fortuna, which last won a trophy in 1980, with its community and attract a new generation of fans."
It is a community club with a professional board in line with German Football's 50+1 rule (all clubs must be 51% 'fan-led')
https://www.bundesliga.com/en/faq/what-are-the-rules-and-regulations-of-soccer/5
In short:
Under German Football League (DFL) rules, football clubs will not be allowed to play in the Bundesliga (or second division) if outside investors have the greatest say.
In essence, this means that private or commercial investors cannot take over clubs and potentially push through measures that prioritise profit over the wishes of supporters. The ruling simultaneously protects against reckless owners and safeguards the democratic customs of German clubs.
It would be great if a future fan-owned Dale could adopt from German models and a pipe dream to imagine British football ever considering the fans as much as the Germans do. [Post edited 30 Oct 2023 18:35]

Agree that going long (pass) can work, especially when it's part of a mixed approach as the opposition are 'caught out', which is clearly Jim's tactics/style and IMHO, a really good style to watch. |
