Silk, the PLC are unanswerable to the membership. What you state is a sensible opinion but it’s been proved they wouldn’t do that with the Stewart situation.

The club are aware as well so hope they are doing everything they can

Looking at the comments, a few people have alerted the police (which I was about to do). Hopefully they can find and get to him in time.

Pretty ironic that the guy who bugged him seems to spend his time tweeting all kinds of weird shit and suggesting he could blag a free box for adult performers

Can’t downplay mental health side of things. It messes with everybody. Being someone that suffered through his reign I’m still feeling the effect. Did actually fear the worst at one point. Just have to suck it up and go again. Swallow a bit of pride and roll sleeves up. Hopefully he sees that too. But ultimately what he did was purely down to his own actions.

Haven't read in detail but I presume her bond at previous year end was also £152k but had been subscribed towards the end of the year, so not a full year's interest.

Shocking. Thankfully various people have replied saying they have contacted the police and passed on his details. Hopefully they will be in time.

Prestons shocking for a start. Absolute mess that no one is coming out of well. I hope someone has done something to intervene before that intent happens. This is exactly why some wanted to know more about what was going on before just immediately assuming that was a sane/rational person being horrible on that recording.

Silk it's a conflict of interest and open to suspicion of inside help to get it. Making it mandatory for owner approval to the move isn't illegal or unfair. It's adding a measure of transparency and control.

forensic accounting at its best! all seems present and correct :-)

Warriors not parasites. Weak people create hard times.

We can see it Silk but when you’ve seen the abuse of power you do something to try and stop it being done again - which means putting in safeguards. No one wants to stop good, experienced people doing a good job. People do want to stop nepotism and bad people doing bad jobs then getting rewarded with a fucking salary.

[Link] the 2022 accounts.

The previous year's suggest she added £150k in 2022 and therefore it tracks that she could have had less than a year's interest on the bigger bond that year, and the 2023 figure is what she will get ongoing: "M Little has subscribed for Plough Lane Bonds to the value of £152,000 (2021 - £2,000) and on which interest of £1,060 (2021 - £60) has been accrued in the current year. These bonds are not repayable any earlier than June 2025."

Timmy - I did that math too but realised she could have a blend of different bonds ending up with either one of those. (Not going to try and back solve that though!)

Let's hope it is a typo or that could be a resignation matter.

I'm no maths bod, but does that mean either a 5.9% or a 0.697% interest rate was selected as the return?

You have something of a point Silk but that the idea that an open advertisement and interviewing more than one person ensures there is no funny business is totally naive. I was warned off applying for a couple of advertised jobs, being told they already knew who would get it, they just needed to make it look legitimate. It is an issue which needs to be discussed and a suitable policy formulated.

Looks like a typo KD. Let's hope there aren't any in more important figures.

It is still backwards thinking and unprofessional to block any Dons Trust Board member from applying for the job of Managing Director without member approval - not to mention borderline illegal. What should be happening is that no-one can be given a paid job directly from the DTB without the job being openly advertised and other candidates being seen. Then the Chair would have to qualify why a DTB member has been employed. If the best candidate for the job is a current DTB member they should be given the job without member approval - that is business 101.

'M Little has subscribed for Plough Lane Bonds to the value of £152,000 (2022 - £152,000) and on which interest of £9,060 (2022 - £1,060) has been accrued in the current year.' [Link]

depends on whether or not he's wearing a seat belt when driving/being driven at high speed. In tests 3/4 people in a car crash died from not wearing a seat belt.

I wonder how long that guy who’s written that royal family book has left to live?

Saw that OMID SCOBIE on TV last night. He does come over as an snidey little shit. Condescending twat at his best.

Russ exactly and it's not even a unique approach. Lots of places work on the basis (including companies) that you have to get annual renewal approval rather than doing something and just keeping doing it.
