OI - you mean to say that you remember that cartoon from 1948…? 👀👴🏻😬

JJOT signs for AFC Rushden & Diamonds.

Those cartoons were always a highlight of Wimbledon Borough News coverage of the club.

*sound of a stable door not closing*

Possibly it is just good to have the availability of a loan before you need it. You get lousy terms when it really is an emergency. This is also why we should know what selling a majority stake would look like and what safeguards could be instituted before we really are sliding into administration.

That OTD cartoon is great!

If we are losing £30K per week (£1.5M pa), how long can this go on before the administrators turn up at Plough Lane asking questions ? This is a business plan doomed to fail. It’s just a question of when. The fat lady has not yet sung but she has arrived at the theatre and is making her way to the dressing room.

If we are needing a loan from x , obviously we will never know. Why hasn't, 's the 50+1 proposal been brought forward ? We seem to be drifting into oblivion. Relegation would make our survival even harder. Certainly Would not be satisfied with non league football.

... which sort of puts all the stuff about the inquiry into the last DTB elections into perspective, as by the time it reports we may have a totally different governance structure (or no longer exist at all)

If we have indeed taken a short-term loan (obviously there is no way of knowing whether that is true) then our financial position is even worse than suggested by the most recent accounts. Also, a loan "to see us through to the summer" (presumably when the season ticket money comes in), will mean that - given our ongoing losses - we will be in the same (or in fact worse) position by this time next year and need an even bigger loan then unless we get some significant cash investment.

Didn't the club say we have an option once the cash runs out - am guessing the McNay loan rumour is referring to that. Agree with Timmy it wasn't now that it was needed.

That £1 million loan rumour doesn’t sound true to me. Looking at the accounts and cash flow etc makes me think this loan wouldn’t be required at this stage- also, Im sure there would have to be some communication about it

Good luck to the litter fascists today. I will try and "watch" on flashscore as ko is 10pm here

Trigger at 19.25 - rumour has it that Iain McNay has lent the club £1m to see us through to the summer.

Can’t believe we have released Hardbottle. Really does show how we need investment at this club

My son is STILL awaiting an operation to remove the screws from his heel. Wake up St George's. However he's working. Can't do his day job as it involves too much standing. He can walk and ride a moped so he's delivering for Dominoes. Directly employed not gig economy which is good. They were only too happy to employ someone with an A2 license rather than CBT only.

Harbottle going for £zero not going down well amongst the paying fanbase. All depends on who we get in to replace him with £zero to spend on the deal.

I noticed Steve Evans talking about players exiting through windows to avoid signing. A subtle dig?

Obvious that Robinson's advisory role will be exclusively focused on youth players. The idea he'd be involved in the first team is laughable.

As CC rightly mentioned, the bottle arguably got us promoted last season with one header and one tackle - when they really mattered. Thought he was a decent player and wish him well.

Harbottle was a lot more than a so-so player

Would welcome Robbo back with open arms.....as long as it is in the academy

That’s what I mean OI - tell us what his role is and we’ll know.

I'd have thought Michael Hamilton would be far more pissed off than JJ. Looks like we were worried about the administration of the academy and never nice to have yor ex-boss hired back again.

Is your other rumour true as well Spit? Someone’s loaned us money to pay wages?
