If the boards have brought us to this point by way of mistake after mistake and the deal gets voted through but cannot pass IFR, EFL or FCA requirements then they will have lead the club to the brink of extinction.

Posted on a football forum quoting a Lincoln supporter. "The 'bankroller of the bid', Omar Michael Thomas Mir, Baron of Thorntoun (since he bought the title in June 2026), has a rather weird internet presence. He doesn't seem to come from anywhere, have any particular source of wealth, or have done anything, other than having filled a number of 'advisory' positions with organisations that spend, or donate money. He claims to hold a Ph.D. in Philosophy Business Management and is occasionally referred to as Dr., but I can't find any institution claiming to have awarded him such a qualification. I can't find one mention of family or partners and only oblique references to his existence before joining WWT. There are only about 6 different pictures of him on the internet (some re-used on different websites) and he seems to have 'invested' his way on to a number of 'advisory boards' and then over-stated his position once on them."

Another VAR question. Ref in the Ipswich v Forest game called to the monitor for a potential red for stopping a goal scoring opportunity. It was clear the Ipswich keeper would have got to the ball so no red card. Having waved the whole thing away at first, the ref then booked the tackler and awarded a free kick. I thought VAR wasn't allowed on yellow cards or free kicks. Any explanation?

Our new best buddy Omar Mir, also goes as follows. I believe I have another name for him found at Companies House: Omar Iqtidar Mir A number of companies in that name with a series of different addresses.

JP said regulator might delay things. And asked what I thought? immediate reaction great deal of money, in exchange for loss of control. Potential for Holding company breaks Cat A status on creation of the company. I am unsure whether FCA will give green light.

Interesting to see Theo Paphitis today as well - does lots of charity work and had crossed over with Paul Strank, so I thought putting his head in the door was great. Hadn't seen him for a few years, so was good to have a natter. He thinks we should take the £87 million and get started on converting temp stands to permanent. Fair enough. He also said regulator is an unknown quantity for everyone.

Looking around I think SSC's plans lie on to two fields. One is to get to the Championship. There is already a £10 million/annum increase in revenue and whilst most will be spent on player wages there is some scope to take some money from that. The second is that they seem to want to help fund the venture in the same way that Brighton and Brentford do. There is some evidence that SSC will have access to data to hopefully find missed players (and we are now not competing with those two) and the buy low and sell high. The hope is they have the tools to do it.

Good to see you today, Naz.

Great blog BW, think it captures the mood of most fans, be it here or on other places as well !

Excellent write up bw

great post Bush womble

Good blog bush womble 👏👏👏

How strict are they going to be with golfing umbrellas tomorrow? I feel that little pop-up umbrellas will not provide much protection from the forecasted deluge.

$6m - S. Crabtree was upstairs selling the Historical Don at the last match. Given the weather I suspect that will be the same tomorrow. Unless the game is called off, of course.

Or he was one of the other 19 interested partys

Who knows? But John Green has told The Guardian about his reading tastes [Link] (warning Guardian article). Anyone who is a big fan of Kurt Vonnegut has to be OK.

Galty was waiting to buy us out of administration:-)

Bowdon - John Green might be quite happy, it takes pressure off him feeling like he has to dig into his cash every now and then. John Galt seemed a bit miffed when he was posting - perhaps he was hoping to get in on the act, and feels left out…?

Timmy this is not a dig it’s just a question of interest - what is the general sense of opinion on the secret discord server? Get the impression there may be some fan-owned-at-all-costs folk on there or are they generally in line with opinion elsewhere?

I wonder what John green thinks about our latest news?

If it's windy tomorrow I would like to see some of this from Bursik and the rest of the team: [Link]

I hope the Historical Dons don't get too wet tomorrow as I've not bought the latest copy yet as I arrived at 7.44 pm on Tuesday (anybody remember that game now) and left early. Hopefully, tomorrow will go ahead and be a bit less shit than the last few games.

Oh ok that’s come down from the 45mph forecast I saw.
