Former Chelsea and England defender Ryan Bertrand is fronting a consortium that has proposed an £87 million minority investment in AFC Wimbledon. The deal is being funded through investment vehicle Sloane Street Capital, led by technology expert Omar Mir. The Dons Trust, which has owned the club since its 2002 inception, would retain its controlling 50.01 per cent stake and veto rights over key matters including the club's name, badge, colours, and ground. AFC Wimbledon members will vote on the proposal by November 17, one of 20 investment bids the club has received.
