On This Day in 1965
Les Brown (No 7) is about to be dismissed for a late tackle during the Dons' 4-1 victory over Gravesend and Northfleet in the FA Cup first round. "I am happy that we are at home and that we have a great chance of reaching the third round," manager Les Henley said after the second-round draw paired his side with fellow Southern Leaguers Folkestone Town. "We're only in it for the money - and a little glory. We could certainly do with the cash!"

[Election reminder paraphrased to vaguely be readable on WUP]: A quick reminder that nominations to stand in the upcoming Dons Trust Board elections are open! There are 5 vacancies: 4 full-term (three year) and 1 shorter term (one year). All the information on how to stand can be found here: [Link] This is going to be a hugely pivotal year for AFC Wimbledon and for the Dons Trust. Being on the board is both a way to make a huge contribution to the work of the Trust by giving it your time and skills, and an opportunity to be part of the Trust's history in an important and exciting way.

DO, I think he was called up. I'm pretty sure I saw the squad list posted by one of our supporters on Facebook or X.

He's not been great recently.
Just looked at Grenada squad for today's game - Hippo not in the 23 - so should be playing for us tomorrow (assuming not injured).

Doobs can you ask him what the vote count for/against was at the time it was pulled. Or if they can’t tell us what’s the reason behind that?

The club has been living beyond its means ever since Jon Main was signed, some might argue.

Right chaps, Graeme (Pricey) Price from the PLC and DTB and finance committee has agreed to take part in a 30 minute fan Q&A. I’ll be popping him some questions from fans, and he’ll be answering. Burning questions stuff, with straightforward answers. Might be ‘are we going bust?’ Or ‘do we have a plan b?’ Up to you… If you would like to ask a question, please send to grahamlstacey@gmail.com with ‘Pricey’ in the subject line. No guarantee we will get through them all, but will include the best/as many as possible. Keep it clean! Interview will go up on YT asap.

DO - ordinarily you are right about the fiduciary duty of directors but there is case law out there that shows as a company's financial position worsens, the directors owe a duty of care to creditors ahead of it's own shareholders, especially if it gets near to administration or insolvency.

Anybody else just receive an email about Black Friday from the club? At least I think that is what they meant as the subject of the email says "Black Firday Is Here"

 [81.lo.gg.ed] 
Never heard of a firday. Not like the club to send out something with a mistake in it.
The bond seems to have stalled so people are being cautious. It is dubious to me though without saying that there is a risk of losing money on administration/liquidation.

Hash - I agree, that's why I said that the tone was unsurprising (by which I should have been clear that it is a reasonable approach) - if you are an organisation in crisis you have to put a positive spin on the position, as telling the unvarnished truth only makes things worse.

Nick, the thing is we can't exactly put out an update saying we are on the brink of catastrophe as that would also have a negative impact on any investment negotiations we are having/will have now. Agree about the bonds though.

The update doesn't really say much that we didn't already know and, unsurprisingly, tries to put over a "keep calm and carry on" message - I do still think that it is pretty irresponsible to be encouraging people to lend money to the club via the PLB ar this point - though I suppose that you could argue that the risks are clear enough to see and anyone who invests now will only have themselves to blame if their money is lost.

I think the Bertrand Boys are still keen, and I think the club would prefer them to anyone else. We shall see.
All of these statements should concern us all I think… “uncertainty around the club’s future cash position“, “cash flow is a challenge this season“, “there is still a significant amount to raise”, and “If you care about where this club goes next…” - the last one sounds a teeny bit gaslight-ey to me, but perhaps I’m just too negative…?

Decent update - SSC are talking to potential investors including people they spoke to before and during the process, we are no longer exclusive so we can also talk to people, unsecured loan of up to £3 million gets us through this season and into next, they are still going ahead with moving TWIOF as a subsidiary of another holding company or whatever but this might not be completed before we get another investment vote (which makes me hope that we will be months rather than years away from another investment vote), etc

Has anyone on either board really admitted to making mistakes? Doing so might make them more believable.

Russ: it’s poor leadership imvho - it’s a scatter gun approach. Need to define the areas that need expertise and ‘working groups’ and move on.

Russ, i think it was said that the stadium actually makes a profit and its those football budget costs you highlight that are beyond our reach now.

Three times our of non league won't work as I don't think we could do it without investment now, so basically we need this investment to come through or we realistically just go back to KM and be a non league club (at best NL/NLS) or liquidate.
...or to minimise the destruction of value, in our current situation!

$6m - I think you'll find that the Directors of AFCW have only one duty - that is to shareholders of AFCW. The duty is to maximise the return on AFCW shares - by the payment of dividends or the increase in the net asset value of the company. Everything else follows from this.

As an aside I 'love' that whilst Rome burns the DT have decided to establish more working groups (aka talking shops) to discuss AI and 'Social Impact' whilst the current working groups give no update to members on what sort of work they're doing. Who decided we should be using Dons Trust resources for these items? Why focus on these items rather than, say, exploring protections for club assets, or scrutinising club performance, etc?

No one has asked the board to set up an AI working group and the only output on AI from the DT has been to ban AI generated images. Well done there, that was a critical issue for the club. Saving us from AI slop whilst the club goes to the wall. Fantastic.
