Unfortunately Jamie there's a good chance we're sinking ANYWAY, and that's regardless of who's sitting in the dugout.
Me though, if I'm sinking I'm going down swinging haymakers. I don't lie down for anyone, nor should we.

I totally agree Scott. Difficult/uncomfortable questions should be welcomed, but from some folks I couldn't help but get the impression that their dogma dictated that they were going to oppose ANY kind of investment in any which way they could. 1/2
Having a vote only matters if people use it. Agree or disagree, have your say. A supporter-owned club should be stronger for a proper debate, not frightened of one.

Niall I 100% respect both your opinion & your right to have it. I agree with much of it, how football needs to distribute the wealth down the pyramid better etc.
I only hope that the people who share your views & desire to drill into every pound offered....1/2

I obviously don't know them all as well as you do mate, but in all seriousness if we don't even trust them to report the results accurately then it's come to a pretty pass.
I DO trust the people who give their time up for free to report the results as they are, maybe I'm silly.
How are people in the trust independent? By definition they are not Mick. Im just asking if it is as ..surely it has to be?

Independent? I would have thought the people on the trust board ARE independent mate. Surely you're not suggesting that they'd fiddle the thing?

Honestly Will, I don't know. I don't even know what an integrity check is. Does he buy his round when it's his turn? Did he pay back a fiver he borrowed off his mate when he was 16? Does he routinely cheat on his Mrs?
I don't know. Would ANY of us pass this "integrity check"?
In that case you must surely vote NO, and in my view you are 100% entitled to your opinion 👍.
Hopefully if the result is a NO then somebody else comes up with an alternative solution pretty sharpish.
Please remember the DTB have no experience of running a football club outside AFC wimbledon. Only Graeme appears to have any experience of M&A. Do I want to sell absolutely. Do I think the board have the expertise to get the best deal for the clubs future, absolutely not.

Ah well then we disagree (on the going bust thing) mate. We WILL go bust eventually if we don't team up with someone IMHO
Fortunately I don’t need to provide an alternative. But I don’t believe that if we reject this particular offer then we go bust. We shouldn’t be forced to accept a ‘bad’ offer, by assuming that there isn’t any alternative…

I have no interest in where it comes from, precisely because we have elected a bunch of VERY switched on people to ensure they HAVEN'T robbed their Granny.
THEY say the deal & money are good, that'll do for me.

Recruitment, the vote, stuff like that. The Scores on the Dores blog. 14thefrog.blogspot.com/2026/…
Exactly how I see it. I don't understand all the financial stuff anyways so I'm more than happy to trust those that do.
What I don’t understand about some people and the vote is that we elected the Directors of the DTB, they have done due diligence on the bids on our behalf. Why are some people now questioning this. If they say this is the option, that’s good enough for me. We have to move on
