Yeah can totally understand that and we should be very aware that if a when we go back to private ownership we may well experience bits of everything good, bad and ugly along that road.

It’s equally wrong to expect Championship playoff places guaranteed as it is to expect to be sold to Milton Keynes again.
I go for entertaining top 10 finish in the championship,with wealthy owners and better players than average league 1/2 players,loans for cheap players and bore non attractive boring struggling football with the begging bowl 🥣 constantly put out.

I tend towards OI’s thinking in that I don’t want or expect us to end up with Bahrain-based owners and become a top 6 Championship club - after all there are going to be more and more clubs competing for those spots and that’s a great thing for the game - for me ending the fan ownership era is about survival, sustainability and to release us from the poor off-the-pitch (and sometimes on) management we’ve experienced since 2018/19.
I agree with Timmy, OI and Hash - it’s a real sticky situation we’re in. 50+1 only buys time and with our debts increasing it would take someone’s hearts over heads to pump a decent amount in for zero return. Staying fan owned would be great but it’s been ruined by people who don’t really care about the football club they just care about their own status and pockets. And if selling out is impossible then that means administration seems the most likely future scenario which puts us back into the “who would give us money now?” cycle because anyone who does has to accept there’s a good chance they’re not getting all/any of it back.

I suspect there’s some other way out of this in reality but that that will only suit those who are deciding upon it and not your common or garden AFC Wimbledon fan. Conditional invrstment that hands control of the club to the clique for a penny and we realise our vision of being the best floodlit pitch in the entire Ryman League. Which company does our floodlights upgrades btw?
50%+1 will buy us some time and we can use that time to come up with a 'unique solution' (sorry don't mean to use koppel phrase) where we can sell beyond 50% but keep Plough Lane etc safe. Don't run before you can even crawl let alone walk. 50%+1 will barely get through at best. Selling completely won't get through yet or even close.

Minority investment will just kick the can, .need someone to invest in a casino on ground floor, a hotel and stand build.

Let's make lots of money 💰, fund the team, get to the championship with sexy , ENTERTAINING football.
Bert's prompts are getting better or the AI is getting better or it is just a suitable starting image but there seem to be no anatomical or architectural impossibilities in today's OTD picture.

I don't want someone to buy us to take us to the Championship. I believe we need someone to buy us to have any hope of remaining a going concern within the EFL.

In an ideal world I would like to remain fan-owned, it’s nice to be different and bask in what we have built. That said, it’s not an ideal world, we’ve literally been told by the club that things aren’t sustainable as they are - we’re going to have to do something different pretty sharpish!

Im sure the DTB proactively seeking the right kind of minority investors will yield results… something to ask them next week. I’ll be at the meeting
Not enough to stay alive Leddy. It’s not about the teams around us it’s about our own sustainability.

And yes it makes it harder that’s the entire point of a competitive sport/industry!
Surely all these other clubs finding rich investors just makes it harder. We then will need to find someone willing spend even more on us to progress.

We already have investment. Just not enough to keep up with the teams around and above us.
Anyone else noticed that Sky appear to be muffling or dampening the crowd audio when fans chant “Sky TV, is f***ing shit”? Noticed it in a few games recently.

So many fond memories of Harry Pell. That goal against Leyton Orient in 2022, trying to target franchise supporters in the warm up that season.

I had a fall the night of the LO match and broke my shoulder. I still have more memories of the match.
Aww. Poor Harry Pell. We went to sit in the home end at Cheltenham a few years ago and they absolutely loved him there. The children all had his name on their shirts.

If it comes to it it will have to be some Nick Roberton John Green and a Mate or Two type consortium with Plough Lane remaining under Trust ownership and leased to the club.

Can anyone see the OTD picture? Not me
Has anyone looked at how SCMP impacts us compared to other clubs in L1 & L2?

Don’t need to look too far- isn’t Nick Robertson worth £100m+ ?

Just looking at Wikipedia- there are 29,000 people worldwide with a net worth of $100m+, so it’s not implausible that one of them might fancy owning “the greatest story in football” (TM) if we were for sale
