I'm thinking of bidding for that massive Martian meteorite and wondered whether anyone wants to join in with me and we can share ownership. Might need circa $4,000,000 but it will be Our Meteorite.

Another day another request for money. Sales pitch for this one (per KD) was "we are going to go bust, please don't ask us to repay the money we owe you" - finding £0.2M worth of bondholders willing to go with that line is all very nice (and good for them for being willing to donate) but it's not really going to amount to much in the context of our ongoing losses.

Oh fantastic, it's certainly different. Did enjoy it, and 89% on rotten tomatoes, so some high expectations.

Alan-it’s brilliant, the best is yet to come, me and my wife still talk about the episode on the beach

Bush, I raised the previous VONC. It’s possible to do via a motion at the SGM but you’ll need to move fast! You’ll also need a way to communicate with the wider membership who probably won’t even know that Sean has left.

Is there any way to instigate a vote of no confidence in Angus Fox?

'Kin he'll. Just watched the first episode of Years and years on Netflix, it's a bit full on 😳

Anyone interested TNS playing some north Macedonia team on S4C Later around 730 ish

What's the sales pitch for another bond, 'We're going bust. Lend us money. Pretty please'.?

I do feel that the DTB think when the chips are down there will be a new bond like scheme and we'll all stump up again to fend off disaster. I'm not sure that many will the next time, as it would just be another can kick exercise. I'm really sad that we've got to this situation. It's not as if we can just decide to accept we can't afford to be a league club and drop a couple of levels, because we wouldn't be able to afford that either.

There was a strategy exercise after Macanthony's involvement which I thought was pre 2009 but I may well be wrong. What the members thought was talked out at several open meetings (at Kingsmeadow and near Waterloo) and Erik had found some external advisers who were really good. The report still had to be revised after the membership kicked up a fuss about where to concentrate our community activities.

I see it as same people, same BS, same problems and same outcomes. People are getting bored of this I sense, sadly for us all, is this a Tory board, or a Labour one? Like the country, either or, aren't the answer. And I don't know what the answer is, but its not this...

The issue with the strategy document is that its already set down fan ownership as a core tenet rather than consider that the best way to meet its strategic objectives may be to work on a different model. We can all see the looming crisis coming down the tracks and fan ownership isn't going to provide the answers.

I think DunDonald has appreciated the situation for a long time, Kentish. I think he shows great forbearance in not saying 'told you so'.

Yes Spit, they need a reliable penalty taker.

I think that pretty much all of those outside the DTB bubble can see that we are headed for disaster (I really don’t see the various “give us your money” / Patron/ revived WAWF/ vice president/ etc etc ….. schemes coming anywhere near bridging our losses) but I see no way that we are going to change direction given our governance set up and the willingness and ability of those controlling the DT to use procedural mechanisms to exclude outsiders. I just hope that when we are close to administration we find a way of changing ownership in a controlled way rather than just crashing and burning.

Good signing for luton if they pull this [Link]

Crash bang wallop by Christmas just to hang on to something that isn't and hasn't worked since we entered NPL. . Most can see what's about to happen apart from the fans owned extremist

Have to say it's somewhat of a relief to read people like DunDonald (a former Dons Trust chair) contemplating alternatives to the Dons Trust being the majority owner of our football club.

I think the new one will be ready in 3009-ish

2009, clearly...

When a new strategy was produced in 3009-ish, it was based on different scenarios, co- developed with fans. That's not really how the current strategy was produced. I'd like to see what a strategy would look like based on selling a majority stake, as well as a better exposition of what happens under our current structure. An opportunity to call for both those things on Monday.

Thing is we won’t fail because it’s inevitable this structure will fail. It will fail because the structure we’ve turned it into isn’t an ownership structure. It’s a people’s plaything structure that they think is what it should be.

isn't going to change*
