The leftie wuppers definitely a clique 😂😂

Do the ten(?) most common posters on here regard themselves as a clique?

Yes chiggers enjoyed the debrief, makes a boring night waiting for fares a lot more enjoyable .

Joe Blair needs a friend biggles

Thanks for bringing it back Lee, always a good listen

Boring.

For people who missed tonight’s debrief - it is available as a podcast.

No rules were broken Biggles. Do your research fella.

Oh give it up Biggles, you should go after the Secretary as it was signed in the name on the membership register, the only name you can use. And using another name is very rarely criminal.

*hear

Jaw- when are we expecting to here ? Really dragged on !

Either Buckley will remain Chair or it will just be another one of the clique despite 150+ applicants.

If he is the best available person to fill a particular role on the plc board then use him. The optics aren't great but I want the best possible board we can get, which is why I worry about the Chairman process.

Never said that Biggles. MacDonald failed to get re-elected and now finds himself a nice cosy role as a NED.

I've received an email update on the state of the Wandle over the past couple of days and it's less rosy than suggested in the post further below. "While the most visible signs of the diesel spill have faded, the impact on the River Wandle is far from over. Wildlife is still under stress, and in the past few days alone, we’ve seen and received reports of fish, amphibians, and birds struggling—some fatally affected. Diesel remains trapped in the river’s vegetation and sediment, and in certain areas, we can still see it in the water. These hotspots are taking a toll on the ecosystem, with toxins continuing to work their way through the food chain."

Why should non-executive directors be elected? Their entire purpose is to bring skills to the club board that elected directors or paid directors may not have. And what does this prime piece of bullshit mean?: "All those who seconded those who were elected and abused their power."

I see MotoGP now has cheerleaders doing their stuff. I wonder how long before Trump and Vance insist you can only ride Harleys in MotoGP.

I wouldn't describe it as a clique, I'm never sure whene a group of like minded people turn into a clique, but Angus/Michele/MacDonald/Price seem to share a lot of views, some excellent but the idea you could change the membership basis without consulting the membership totally wrong. I want people with pretty strong opinions but I do want them to recognise that they are there for the mebership, not the membership there for them.

Timmy I volunteered willingly during private ownership in the 80s 90s. But not now, that's for sure.

Agree with that KD- you might debate endlessly where the boundary of the clique lies (and these things are always a bit unclear at the margin) but you have accurately identified its existence, views and core members.

Spot on KD. To be fair, without the clique we wouldn’t have a club. But my god, they are certainly not my sort of people.

Good analysis KD, with JaWs insight to the roles and how they are acquired, establishment type.

KD - I'd go along with that explanation. :-)

To my mind, what people refer to as the clique is largely (but not exclusively) the ‘founding fathers’ + those who were prominent to varying degrees in the formation of AFC Wimbledon. The Marc Jones, the Kris Stewarts, the Niall Coupers, and their contemporaries. They will be in their 50s/60s, tend to lean to the left (some very strongly) and believe fan ownership is sine qua non, ad infinitum due to PTSD suffered from fighting the losing battles up to 2002.
