The club's new owners have committed to getting back to the football league
Rochdale AFC will be sold to a trust set up by local businessman and entrepreneur Sir Peter Ogden, it has been announced today. The deal comes after months of back and forth discussion over the future of the club, which was feared to be on the verge of liquidation in March.
As indicated in their offer to the Club, the Ogden Family intend to introduce a Golden Share which will be held by the Dale Trust. But, the introduction of this share will need to be approved by current shareholders. The new owners have committed to returning Rochdale to the football league within three years. The club has just registered a mid-table finish in it's first season in the National League.
