I don't think Dana has accepted the job yet, GG.

Sticking to fan ownership with such a blinkered zest has brought us to a crisis point where we have a poor team and manager with no money. Also sadly we have ended up with a divided fan base. A search for outside investment should have started 3/4 yrs ago. We are on a cliff edge now, hopefully at least we can avoid relegation this season.

Morning all. I have no idea whether these rumours are true or not. If they are true, I hope the DT will confirm ASAP. If they're untrue, I hope they'll find a way of confirming that too, albeit responding to random rumours isn't always the best strategy in general.

A happy and peaceful Diwali to all Wombles, by the way. I don't know what it's like where you are, but in SW17 we have happy and devotional music absolutely banging out of windows from all directions and the assorted smells on the wind are SERIOUSLY drool-inducing.

Huddersfield’s loss at home to Exeter was even more embarrassing than ours away to Crewe - but at least they have the comfort of being top of League 1 to cheer them up…

Odd how the money man supposedly pulled out after they supposedly met the chairs of both boards.

apologies for the split-infinitive, by the way. I have just woken up and - amazingly - I DIDN'T set foot in a pub yesterday.

bloody hell. It wasn't a dream. Just when you think that the Coriander Caligula can't go any more mad......

wow. This must be some sort of weird flash-back. I have just woken up to hear on Radio 4 that Donald Trump has announced that Dana White is the new White House press secretary.

Why are people speculating on the reasons for rumours? Surely that would become a self fulfilling prophecy?

Is it true then? If so that’s a massive shame. Surely at some point mr Mir would have been warned to expect scrutiny and some hostilty from some fans? From our fans more that from most other clubs.

As Meadow says, it's the Prince's Trust, which has been a thoroughly worthy venture for many decades.

Ah that makes sense.

Trig, it used to be the Prince's Trust and changed name when Charles became king.

Went to the cinema tonight and saw an advert for The King’s Trust. Never heard of the damn thing til Mir’s AI video now suddenly it’s on the big screen.

Nicely put, Nick.

At this point it remains rumour and innuendo, but if Mr Mir has pulled out because he's upset at scrutiny, then I would imagine he has a reason to fear scrutiny.

Cummon Watchet Town!

Maybe they'll give us Kingsmeadow back, for a fee.

Chelsea supporting friend of ours said a few weeks ago 'we'll buy your ground'. Nice bloke. Always supportive, when he thinks of it. Just telling it how he saw it.

Well if it all goes t*ts up and the club completely folds or gets sold and moves to Dublin, I can’t see a second phoenix club being formed, so we will all have to stop supporting a football team or choose another to follow. At least there will be some money to be made on memorabilia….

Apparently AI share values nosedived massively this week after the midterms - isn’t Mir’s money in AI? Maybe there’s a link there, maybe not…

Speculation is pointless because if the investment was genuine in the first place then there are myriad reasons why it might have gone away (if it has) and you can’t exactly trust Price and Fox to tell the truth.

If, large if (I have no idea) that 1. The pulling out rumours are true, and 2. The money is really coming from Cheyne capital as opposed to Omar; perhaps the reason for pulling out is not anything to do with social media bull, but rather the fund has just been routed in the last few weeks. They wouldn’t be the only ones!

If the rumours are true then the at least we have a club brigade will no doubt be delighted. Some people would rather we were in non league than accept any investment even if it’s minority investment.but there’s a bigger picture to all this. With no investment we have been told the club will be broke in 4-6 month. If this is the case the alternative is administration and let me tell you an administrator won’t care about keeping the club or stadium fan owned and we will be sold on the cheap to whoever they can get the asking price from. The. Guess what ? We don’t own our club we don’t own our stadium and we have no say whatsoever as fans. I was voting in favour not because it was the ideal scenario (it isn’t) but it keeps us in control of the club while making us competitive. I seriously believe that no investment means even greater consequences for our club one-consequence being that it won’t be ‘our’ club anymore. It will fall into the hands of administrators then 100% out of fan ownership.
