Sorry, you missed the sarcasm of that comment. They are saying categorically that there has not been, other than the bequest mentioned, any other sizeable gift of money.
No need to apologise.
What I was saying was that those who maintain a recent gift was made to the club need to back it up with evidence of whom and how much, in light of statements like yours that rebut their assertion. In the absence of such, your proposition holds true.
