Warne for Evans - pretty please!

Good luck to him. I know we don?t often praise on here but I thought today I would. 😎

I agree Pocket, I think if Warne had Warnock upstairs good cop, bad cop we could have really moved on.

I do Lol. They have wealthy backers, a state of the art stadium and they are sited in a London commuter belt location that is heavily populated with immigrant families who have no current ties to the other football clubs in the locality. It is not beyond reality that someone could invest 50 million to get them into the Championship and they now have a proven manager who can get them there. If they achieve that then another 150 million could get them into a position of challenge in the Championship. If they make it to the Prem, then they will scoop up immigrant families from that area and could easily get to 25-30K.

Its a long journey but for 200 million investment the returns would be there. Compare that with a club like Rotherham. Very little potential. Our fan base is fixed as we have seen over the past 15 years.

Not sure how those numbers stack up with FFP rules though?

That’s a fair point but it’s less of an issue in the lower leagues and of course it will take time. But the opportunity is there.

Rotherham has lots of immigrant families but hardly any attend the NYS

Wrong type of immigrants

A travesty of modern football. There is no way MK Dons should have been given the status - or should I say, been allowed to buy their status.

But who is to blame for that Brin? The city and people of Milton Keynes or the Football League? The latter get the justified abuse for letting the Bury situation arise, not the team/town who benefited from their demise, whoever that was. I doubt anyone can even remember.

Good luck to PW I say. As has been said it's a chance to stamp his mark over a few seasons. We've had some fascinating battles with them over the years, promotion and relegation and seem to have come out on top on every occasion. I look forward to renewing our rivalry.
I do think it's time they got their own identity, and dumped the silly 'Dons' moniker. It seems daft now.
