DD, not going to be an option as everyone on the board and all candidates have said selling below 50.01% is a red line

Haha,Carshalton

More marketable, I mean - not sure if "much" is right.

One irony in all this is that, if people were minded to sell out altogether (or at least maintain just a nominal stake), then it would actually be a blessing that 50.01% failed. Having a 75% stake to sell (without being dependent on fellow shareholders agreeing to sell their shares) would be a much more marketable asset. (But I sense there is very little appetite for selling.)

RK-no one could accuse you of being patronising 😀

Alan - Sod the million quid for Matty Stevens. The sale of Joe Lewis will fund our club for the next 20 years or so.

Silk, oh no that's precisely NOT what i meant. I will make my posts a bit more simple if i see you lurking on the GB

Meanwhile back in La La land, Matt gets his hattrick and the scouts of Peterborough and Brentford get all excited and report back with the message "we must break the bank and get this talent...."

FWIW if we could find a willing buyer to keep us afloat and competitive bouncing between leagues 1 and 2 I'd sell out tomorrow. Is that my fault too that being able to do that is even less likely now that the super RA has passed the first hurdle and I voted no to it?

6MDM - if the worst happens, we will each have our scapegoats for it, one probably as valid as the next. I could live with some people putting the blame on me.

So now it's my fault if the employed club officials and the DTB cannot come up with a way between them to balance the books and have a plan to pay back the bonds they have known about since 2020? Oh I see, it's so clear now. Silly me. And there was me thinking the club is over-stretching itself and using capital income to fund operations. I also thought the bond money was to help finish the stadium. Now it is clear. They are right to use money from cup rubs and player sales to fund losses. It is also alright for them to panic, not provide any financial analysis as to how selling a bit more equity will solve these underlying issues and just trust them. I've been so stupid.

Silk - We'll find out shortly. But members should be making these decisions with all the relevant information in front of them.

Maverick - as others have pointed out this has come before the release of the figures and the vote should have been delayed for a month. I dread to think what the figures are telling us. My intuition tells me that if they were good the boards would not be putting their weight behind the 50+1.

I have now gone from being a fan-owned zealot to one who accepts we have to sell out now to survive. Their is no future for us as a fan-owned club. We may well stagnate under an owner but at least we will keep going,.

I can see this proposal being put to the members again in, say, a year's time and flying through if it is properly researched and explained to the members. This has all been done in such a rush that the views of members weren't properly canvassed before the proposal was issued and put to the vote.

Russ - I agree.

Been raining for 30 hours in London on and off..delays on district line if anyone uses it to wimbledon pk/station

RK - I understood your post as you stating the people saying we are not ready as asking the DTB themselves to understand how close to bankruptcy we are and to give us something better to vote on. What I am saying is that stance is pointless and damaging to our future.

With little competiton Sky Sports+ should get quite a few viewers tonight. Including lots of scouts probably.

Why does Silk always misintepret my posts? Does he do this to everyone or just me?

Silk. Lurker says not to worry. It won't have an impact on the wage bill or squad for another 2 yrs at least.

Not dead but certainly in the ICU. A £3m commercial loan to fund 2027 bond repayments will probably cost close to £0.5m pa

It's up to the Dons Trust board to provide a clear enough vision to get past the threshold required. I'm not voting for any board resolution until they provide an adequate level of assurance and a 20 page fluff piece 'strategy overview' doesn't cut it. They received 71% votes in favour. Provide greater assurance - including the release of the full strategy - and I'm sure they'd clear 75%.

RK - atm the moment we are within three years of bankruptcy. How much closer do you want it to get? If we keep on making these losses without any ability to pay off the second round of bonds it will be even quicker. Yet people are still more interested in fighting their civil war with members of the DTB than what is best for the club.

Surely not Postie - apart from today's drizzle, it's been pretty dry ...
