Odd sock - Its the equivalent for a computer virus, its AI Flu(e)

OTD- Is that Omar Mir scoring for us rather than Eddie Bailham?

OTD - The phantom chimney makes an appearance.

Next 3 games we need 2 wins, if we win none,time is up for JJ surely

OI - CC for me too, walking distance…

Fancy a cockney knees up? Then head to the Alex pub on Friday 20 tom carradine is playing his piano in there great guy for sing along god bless you governor songs if your into that popular bloke great moustache he has as well

SA - I'll vote for you if you stand for DTB on that ticket. Very happy that your views have changed so much since we last spoke about it. I'll also vote for anyone else who stands with the same views. Better to control who we sell to rather than administration.

And us with them.

They appear to have painted themselves into a corner, Nick.

Laurence-yes, you are correct that it is £400 per year per DT member that would be needed to cover the annual losses, that was my error, I apologise. I wouldn’t adjust this amount to ignore depreciation, as this is effectively the cost of maintaining our capital assets and is a real cost/loss that has to be paid at some point, even if it is “non cash” in the short term. I still don’t think that you would get 6000 people willing to put in £400 per year- though perhaps those keen on fan ownership should ask the question to see.

I bought shares to help buy Kingsmeadow. I bought bonds to help get the stadium completed. I could cover my share of annual losses but I can't see a high proportion of members doing that so it is time to admit we need outside investment. Did we pick the right people? No idea but we can't go on looking for perfection when we need good enough.

$6m man- just to come back to your post yesterday, it will now be fascinating to see what the 2026 accounts (due imminently) have to say about going concern status- I can’t see how the board could assert that we are are going concern for the foreseeable future, having said that without the (now scrapped) deal the company was only viable for 4-6 months

Nick in 2019, we were asked to put in £3,000 each. BTW not £40k as you pointed out, but lots less. My calculator says 6,000 times £400 each would give the club £2.4 million, which is the quoted annual losses, part of which is purely accounting depreciation, and not cash. The DTB have though closed down the fundraising working group.

The current DTB recommended and supported the SSC deal so even if the whole board was comprised of sell out and be done advocates, it wouldn't stop those who do not believe in democracy and the will of others trying to stop things they disagree with. What it would stop is a board full of enshriners not even bringing such deals forward.

SA- I would definitely vote for you- though it’s obvious that you would be blocked from standing, given past practice. I actually think it would be £4k, not £40k, per annum from each DT member to cover £2.5m annual losses, but that is equally not going to happen and makes very clear the delusion and wishful thinking of those advocating continued fan ownership.

I do hope no one gives Niall and his fellow vicars wives any grief over the Mr Mir walk away. I doubt that any of his hissy fit stuff caused the deal to fall apart and as others have said it was more likely the value of his portfolio dropped in value

I'd pop over to see RP Vale possibly, but would more likely just become a telly-clapper

I wonder just how many would support AFC AFC Wimbledon. I'd make the occasional trip on pleasant Saturday afternoons to my local club, Corinthian Casuals, instead.

SA you get my vote.

SA - "That will sort the enshriners from the majority." Yep, it sure will. Their politics probably mean they want others to pay for their pleasure and would be the least likely to put their hands in their pockets. Actually, thinking about it, they may contribute enough to run a poor CCL club but at least they would be able to have a beer with their mates.

I'm with Laurence of 9am, but I'm not sure we'll ever really know.

You have to feel for Ryan Bertrand, having to watch our shit matches then the deal falls through!

It may just be a case of the Club and SSC better preparing the investor(s) around the scrutiny (both our fans & EFL) that their interest would attract

Anyone who thinks we must remain fan-owned at all costs should ask the each of the 6000 or so DT members for £40k every year to cover the losses as this is what club owners are expected to do. That will sort the enshriners from the majority.

Yep, I mentioned Mir and his AI interests as soon as the deal collapse was announced/rumoured on here - it seems a far more likely reason than hurty words on Discord or Facebook or something… Anyway, that’s all speculation, but what else do we have…? His reasons don’t really matter - it’s over, so we have to move on…
