There are also intangible assets like the brand and the league place. Winkelman wasn’t buying Wimbledon for the players, but the league place was invaluable. We are two promotions (soon to be three, probably) from the Premier League. Wrexham’s value has no doubt increased substantially because of their proximity to the english premier league.

Naz, it's worth what someone will pay for it, or what the market says if you prefer. It's cost, if that's what you mean, is about £33m gross of any depr in last five years; stadium +£? for freehold which was given to us, and therefore not on the balance sheet

Has anyone got a very rough idea of what our club/ground is currently worth? (As a benchmark, I believe that Wrexham sold for £2 million as a non-league club with a similar sized but ageing stadium in a very different location.)

Ivor on the BBC. [Link]

Around 3am this morning Woke up to the dulcet tones of Ivor He was relating the story of Wimbledon pre 88 onwards . It was on the World service. Didn't catch the title but presumably can be found on BBC Sounds

Oh,it's Blue Monday,it all makes sense now!

Looking forward to OTD on Thursday as the AI picture looks like the keeper has got his arm through the head of somebody [Link]

Too wet and cloudy where I am to see anything. I don't seem to have a lot of luck whenever there is something to view in the night sky. Went to see the Northern Lights in Nordkapp about 25 years ago and didn't see a damn thing other than a boring sunset.

Yeah seen some stunning photos on my IOW Facebook groups.

It was stunning, Spit. Beautiful deep red covering more than half of the sky here out west.

Probably all had strange emails:-)

Most of wup are tucked up in bed by the looks of it trigs .

Northern lights are our right now across the UK.

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.

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.

Has Tilley actually been signed?

I really mean that.

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.)

Swig yesterday was AFC wimbledon rumour day. Seems we are F**ked Doomed,bit like me on this guest book:-(

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.

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.
