Alan - as the old adage goes - everything is worth what someone else will pay for it. If Apollo paid £35m for 10% of club, whilst it implies a value of £350m, if the whole club had been being sold, two things would effect the value. ONE - no celebrity owners, TWO - no longer the 'rarity value' of 10% of the club, as 9 or 10 times as many shares would have been up for sale.

Naz - there are probably people more au fait with the constitution but selling a majority holding (or even selling below 75% currently) is the highest level of restricted action so very hard to achieve (50%+1 just failed last time). If the DT sold their shares, I think that other shareholders would have to be given the same offer as the DT. I believe you need 90% of the shares to force the remaining shareholders to sell so not immediately relevant. I guess the share price would be negotiated at the time of the deal. If the Trust was selling out they might accept a low price as I think any profits have to be distributed to charity. Personally I value my shares at zero, exactly their worth if we go into administration. Looking at club value I'd think somewhere between 10p and 20p would be fair.

happy to be corrected on any of the above
I suspect that Trigger is right that any sale would be very difficult under our current constitution, which is designed to block any change. That said, if we got into administration I think (would need someone with a legal background to confirm/ provide more details) that all of the rights of the shareholders essentially fall away and the administrator can sell the club to whoever they want in order to maximise the return to the creditors- it’s one reason that I am holding onto my DT bond- being a creditor is probably the only way I will get any sort of vote on what happens to the club.

I’ll respectfully allow more aware people to answer in full Naz but my mind went to “restricted actions” being such that an outright sale under current circumstances would be impossible. Not sure though.

If someone were to make a bid for full ownership of the club, what would the procedures be? Dons Trust members voting? Shareholders voting? And what do we think that the club is worth now and could be worth in the future with investment, an enlarged stadium and a higher league position? (Apparently Wrexham has shot up in value since the Hollywood bods took over and their three(?) promotions.)

The other rumours are as OI said - we've taken a loan (rumour around £1m) from an existing PLC board member to cover a financial gap, our out of contract players have been told that they're not being offered new contracts and that JJ wants away.

Please note I am posting these because they're rumours and that's what football fans do. There is no negative intent here as I have no idea of the veracity of any of them. I don't blame the club on not commenting on runours, but some sort of update on things might be nice seeing as the transfer window has two weeks left in it and our form is diabolical even when up against poor sides at home.
The Tilley rumour is that he's back on loan from Wycombe for the rest of the season. Used to blow hot and cold for us in L2 and sounds like his hamstring injury has done him no favours so I feel for the lad and hope he can get back to full speed with us.

And thanks OI for the rumours post I didn't want to post anything as as I've said I have no inside info and they are just rumours. But when they come up in different circles you do start to wonder.
Shame for Tilley that it didn’t work out for him at Wycombe but probably a good signing for us, especially given our lack of anything much from our forwards recently

I think the Tilley rumour is not a loan, but rather a signing - obviously that may well turn out to be boolocks… 🤷🏻♂️😬

TS - rumours about loans to get us through to the end of the season and the finances being worse than generally realised. They are just rumours but it is becoming clear that the financial set-up within the EFL is inimical to fan owned clubs.

Maybe Asiimwe being recalled? Tilley could play RWB. Though with Lewis suspended and Harbottle gone, 4 at back is nailed on for Saturday.

Tilley 11 goals from 80 appearance for us in league 2

So might get 2 goals before the end of the season:-)
Update urgently needed from Trust/Board. Too many rumours doing the rounds. Specuiation rife, not a good look.

Tilley is at least willing to kick the ball towards the net.

But from all the rumours going around it sounds like it’s not going to make much of a difference. I do appreciate they are rumours at this point.
