What is the 'Scotland Case' that we are keeping an eye?

Laurence - I have long made a point that nobody on the DTB has experience of owning or being a main board member of a company the size of AFC Wimbledon. We did elect a couple but one was pushed to resignation and the other saw better prospects elsewhere. The plc board has a couple in Iain McNay and Nick Robertson but more on both boards would be welcome.

Thanks 6MDM. A snippet from the June one "On the bad debt previously incurred the board will maintain a watching brief on the Scotland case". So legal issues are apparently ongoing.

I'd have thought the current financial situation would complicate and delay any agreement with investors. For a start the size of black hole seems to be changing and if the same people are to be left in charge, because the DT owns a majority, there must be concerns about their financial acumen.

In Amir stylee, what is the link for plc board meeting minutes?

The Trust did say September at first but then Mick Buckley said 2/3 weeks in his pre season interview. I expect it to be a proper statement / update with details, introductions to them, interviews etc not 'we are talking to prospective investors and will update you more in due course' so i don't mind if we need to wait a couple of weeks more

Mark on the same old Wombles podcast said he’s been told there would be a statement by the DTB regarding investment discussions by end of September. Those plc minutes are a bit light on detail but few nuggets - club has a watching brief on the Scottish case Re: our bad debt. This should allow the more inquisitive to maybe work out which firm we’re in dispute with.

Morning Ginge. Trigger, but what are the estate agents going to sell?, might advise the grounds up for a remortgage.

Morning Ginge. Welcome back!

morning sparters.

Is anyone outside of the secret discord or the clique WhatsApp allowed to have any information whatsoever on the potential investors? Shouldn’t someone on the PLCB or DTb or any of our subcommittees manned by the same three people come out and give just a teeny scrap of a status update? Time is running out. We have elections to run soon and people will need to know whether they need to vote for something different, something decent, or whether it’s immaterial because we have sensible investment options (more than one obviously) or bad investment options (gun to head like in 2019) or financial Armageddon.

Oh do fuck off. I won't attend the MK match and don't do many aways so my next match is Mansfield at home on October 20th.

4 month's worth of AFCW PLC board meeting minutes have recently been published online. It wasn't worth the wait. Even with these high level minutes, the sense of panic setting in because of their cock up over budgeting for income based on a vague survey with generic questions, no alternatives, no explanation of consequences and no context is clear. They can no longer blame it on the summer or people thinking the 50.01% vote upsurped the urgency.

I also agree it is ridiculous. Stevenage don't care. It will cost us money. It is also difficult to plan time away (if you don't want to miss a game) as you don't know when the game will be rearranged for. The theory is they should find the next available midweek slot that both teams can make, which looks like w/c 12/10/26, but when we had this happen last season the rearranged game was in the new year.

I also agree. We shouldn't be in a position where some games are postponed, but others aren't. It should be all or nothing.

Completely agree with you Spit!!

As always league 1 and 2 clubs should not be postponing matches, it's becoming a farce ,even if 5 players are missing put the reserves/youf in

Stevenage home game proponed, bbc alert just came up on phone

Bush - thanks, I hope you’re right, I can’t get to many away games these days, so it’d be good if this one isn’t cancelled….

Fair enough. Probably agree with the last part of that TBH

We have replacements for Hippo. Can do without him for 2 games. Other than his goal on Saturday, I actually thought he was quite poor.

Surbiton - what about Hippo?

Unless it was Stockley who was playing in an international, I can't think of any other player that would be that crucial for us to postpone at the moment (maybe Johnson). It comes back to bite you when you have to play Saturday - Tuesday - Saturday in February with just 7k in the ground.
