Mr. Kogan is leaving it till the end of the day to publish his report. It will be interesting to see what the media make of it, hopefully they don't just relate it to Citeh.

I agree with Nick! Administration makes the bonds worthless or close to it. I'm surprised the more recent literature about the bonds didn't have to state this but I presume the necessary legal risk warnings are tucked away somewhere.

Wasn't it the Ginger Giant who used to talk about betting on here? I wonder what odds he would offer on John Green, Nick Robertson, and (have his posts disappeared?) Who is John Gault.

Trigger - true. :o)

Ah ok thanks Nick.

Correction, we are not back to Thursday, which is 22/10. So a Wednesday 21/10. Venture Cafe back on - yay!

Trigger - I think that if we go into administration then it is because the club (ie AFCW PLC) doesn't have enough cash to pay its debts. One of those debts is the amount that it owes the Dons Trust (if I am right the PL bond involves the DT borrowing from the fans and on-lending the cash to the club). So if the club can't repay the DT then the DT won't have the money to repay the bond investors so all or part of their bond investments would be lost - the bond isn't secured or protected in any way, as far as I know.

A big question in my mind is what happens if we vote yes for this and then want to change our minds once we’ve seen what things are like in reality? Will there be a sufficient process in place so if all the good promises are made but none are seen through that we can remove investors or force some form of change accordingly.

I’m out of touch with the bond investments - if the club goes into admin then surely the bonds are still protected? Even just writing that I don’t know how it works eg if that’s the case where does the money come from to pay it back?

so we appear to be back to Thursday might meetings.

DO - fair enough, I can see that. To be honest I think that, either way, this is the end of the DTB amateurs trying to run the club - the DT will soon find out, when faced with an investor who is providing all of the funding, that their wants and likes won't be taken all that seriously. I can see the "tear it down" attraction of administration but I wouldn't vote for that (not least because my DT bond investment would be lost)

Nick - unless the offer is a good one, if the alternative is administration, then I'd vote for administration. It would at least be the end of the navel-gazing DTB!

I walked up the pier 3 weeks ago Al, hard to see how a 10 mph was observed by plod .

Would be interesting to see what response to a question fielded about a pitch owners view would be...

Will certainly be an interesting meeting next week but I think that it is clear that (1) we will realistically have no option to accept whatever proposal is put to us, or see the club go under (2) [as REPD said below] in reality the new investors are going to be taking control, not just investing, though if they actually don't have a majority stake, we would still be be to stop any "move the club to MK"-type proposals (albeit at the cost if having additional funding cut off). This may or may not ultimately be a good deal, but it is unlikely to be as good as we could have got had we started looking seriously for investors before we were on the edge of the cliff, but short of someone inventing a time machine we are where we are and have to make the best of it.

The devil is in the detail

Warning to Spit, Island roads are different [Link]

It has to be Freshco's Supermarket.

I think we'll be waiting aldi to find out more.

Did my retailer-based pun break wup?

Exiled scroll down and Hash has handily pasted it on here. Shouldn't tesco too long to find it.

Great to see that Jack Rudoni was the player to score Coventry's first home top flight league goal for 25 years!! Well done Jack, you’ve come a long way from being a loanee at Corinthian Casuals in 2019 :)

I think that's why 21st October is important for them to explain their vision. And it's more important that members believe them, and that that belief turns out to be valid even though by then it will be too late if it's not. For me I think the 21st October really relies a lot on the investors' performance on the night. Football, isn't it.
