On sale throughout April, this season’s final edition of The Historical Don looks back a decade to a time when exciting plans were being hatched in South London. On the fringes of the play-offs when they faced Liverpool in a high-profile FA Cup tie in January 2015, despite the Dons’ promotion hopes fading during the second half of the campaign Neil Ardley was already honing the squad that was to reach League One 12 months later. Meanwhile, the club announced that they were seeing permission to build a home back on Plough Lane.

Buy your copy from outside the club shop at the homes with Harrogate, Chesterfield or Port Vale for just £2.
So we don't want to sell to a 3rd party and have no say in running the club........ doesn't look much different to what's been happening over the last few years.......want to play at running a football club......become mates with the clique and you can pick your job !

I don't want to be back there Spit. It was great fun at times but I want my team to play at the highest level possible. I saw us go from Isthmian in 63 to Div 1 in 86 and want to aspire to that again. But you are entitled to your choice.

TBK - I thought the advert alluded to it being paid for the right sort of candidate. I'm pretty sure I recall some flexibility on that.

I'm not sure that 100+ candidates is a very meaningful metric. My experience hiring suggests its low-single digit percentages who are actually relevant if you have open online adverts.
TVK if I was planning on going and having just read that I certainly wouldn't bother now as just proves we are run by mates and on the cheap...after whittling over 100 candidates to a shortlist of 2 we thought best to leave for the new board to make the decision I mean you've literally made the decision already

OI's point about CEO not executive chair is the main one. We seemed to create this structure entirely to fit someone like Buckley, and low-and-behold it's only Buckley that fits it. Meanwhile the DT is presumably going to spunk hundreds of hours into our constitutional review to change minor voting thresholds and whatever else, rather than fixing the rot in the PLC structure.

Too many big titles and not enough grafters.
Martin, absolutely, I can’t believe over a hundred applied.

Tom, I'm astonished so many people applied to do a difficult unpaid job.

TBK, why is it a bombshell, just a shame that the last 2 were Mick and his dog and Mick won.

Roving cameraman
The people I've known who take on that sort of role are on 1K-2K per day. We were always only going to get a fan or a chancer

Interestingly, the plan, such as it was, outlined at the recent “meet the PLC board” meeting seemed to be to get fans to voluntarily stump up the costs of fan ownership (ie cover the losses via donations or higher ticket prices). Good luck with that in the current environment… I agree with OI that we are basically at the end of the road of fan ownership.

I wonder how much was spunked on this farce. Personally don't have a problem with Buckley. The appointment process however has been a disaster and an embarrassment

We need a CEO who is on the board not an exec chair or exec vice chair. If Woodruff is good enough give it to him, if not, get someone else. I agree with Aideen, I'm done. Sell out.

Looking at the statement I think that the key is the first bullet point which basically (translated out of corporate speak) says “the role is too much work for too little money and therefore none of the applicants were any good”

Does sort of explain the ridiculous delay in the announcement- those involved must have known exactly what the reception was going to be

Hopefully tonight we'll get a plan to fund the club next season starting with enough money sign a decent squad . Preferably a new manager as well. Oh maybe Buckley could take over the role temporarily!

Amazing. Well done to all involved. Looking forward to the 'jobs for the boys' section of John Green's docu-series on fans ownership.

Does the ratification at the AGM mean that Trust members will vote on it? Or is is just a rubber stamping exercise?
