I just love the way Spit laughs at all his own jokes

I think Spit means the board, OI.

In which case he probably has something there.
I expect nearly 8,000 people had many different views Spit. The commonest probably being "what the fuck is WUP/"

Yeah that why I said "largely composed of non Wimbledon fans"

I don't know the breakdown but when a4e was knocking on doors, I expect there were quite a few Chelsea & Man Utd people
I bet the Dons trust were estatic that Wup got saved from the ashes 😂

Because the problem isn't just 'non Wimbledon fans' RK, it is also people who won't roll over or donate the money because of our governance.

DO, not the same thing! A budget deficit doesn't mean non football streams are losing. Think £1m depreciation, rates, staff costs - all have to be absorbed

RK - your post of 16.50 - so even if we cut our football expenditure by £1m, so it broke even - the remaining club activities lost £100k.
Surely most clubs make a profit on their non-footballing activities to help cover the losses on the footballing side?

Such a shame that things are going so well on the football side of things.

As REPD suggested earlier, the heads in the sand approach isn’t new.

RK - and pissed off Wimbledon fans. My last bond payout is still sitting not applied to anything but until we are better run, which seems vanishingly unlikely at the moment, it is not going anywhere near the club.

Six Million, would have to say if we cut our cloth to match our income would lead to non league football, which could be for many years.

Yeah I know it's not enough but I was just saying there is something. Drake has said he expects 2027 to be £2m in total, and I assume that's probably come from Michele? Maybe a tad optimistic if that second group is largely composed of non Wimbledon fans

RK - even if that £1m is held back and not used for anything else, it isn’t enough to pay back the bonds maturing in 15 months time. I've not skin in the bonds game anymore as I got mine repaid earlier this year other than the consequences for our club.

We need to stop referring to things as non-negotiable as it our predicament everything is negotiable, even if it isn't desirable. I'd rather we fell to a level where our income covered our outgoings but I accept many would see that ad a lack of ambition and pointless beyond knowing we are not going to go bust.
Depends on timings I guess. Think JG would be post 2025 bond payouts, so would, my assumption, be held for 2027. Yes we're in a guessing game essentially, trying to connect dots ;-/

Thought the JG group cash injection went towards paying off debt and ‘some stuff around the stadium’

Too many unknowns upon which to base a massive decision.
€6m - we have the John Green equity money, assuming it's not spunked on operating losses

Chewers- we'll only get to see (or be told in high-level terms) when we are at the precipice again staring into the abyss and nowhere to go other than over the edge, as happened in December 2019. Since then successive DTBs have had the time and opportunity to take action and sort this out but have failed. Instead, they choose to pat themselves on the back with meaningless sustainability awards or patronise us with how great it is to have friendly unsecured debt.
1st Oct 2025 17:10:07
[78.lo.gg.ed]
We've about 15 months until we hit that precipice, when the second tranche of bonds become repayable and we don't have the cash to do so. Happy to be corrected if that isn't the case but this latest desperate attempt at raising funds but maintaining fan ownership is non-negotiable (which administration will destroy) would suggest I'm right.
Too many typos - Chewits, Mick B, 25/26

Chewing, Pick Buckley said there was a £1.1m "black hole" in the operating budget 25/27. This was on a video from about August iirc. He mentioned that football part of the hole was £1m and they were targeting cup runs and player sales. Think I got that right

The Black Knight, yes i had seen the June report on other clubs in league one and league 2, what i was hoping for currently was a current cashflow projection for this football season relating to AFC Wimbledon, with some detail of how the club is able to manage cash levels versus costs of the ground (findings i believe still to be published), costs of day to day football activities and a split between football and non football costs. that would be a great insight to understand the situation that may unfold or what lies ahead.

JAW, max I hope - we've got some cup money from Newcastle and of course the playoffs. Pretty cheap squad I think. Plus the shenanigans on the flooded end
