Why are MK Dons "the cheats" am I missing something?

The Great Muta!

I genuinely think Ash is a good player, I've no doubt he'll show this (he has in flashes) his record in the past two seasons is pretty solid, Crosbie is a bit of a wildcard,he could be a fantastic signing or it may not take off,but something tells me he'll be fine...and Seymour had a good season last season, got to think and stay positive, Jarvis had been good for us, but a lot of his goals were penalties, he seems to go on a good streak, then it would tail off, that was repeated a lot in his spell with us, good luck to him, but I'm not overly worried by him going, bit of a shame Archer has gone as I liked his work rate and enthusiasm.

Absolutely adamant that we use to run out to La Bamba by Los Lobos.....around1984/1985.... please someone confirm it for me!!. Or it played in the pre match warm up??

The Great Muta!

Nobody's being negative to suggest a mid table season at all, it's realistic in my eyes, and just glad that we (hopefully) won't be near the wrong end of the table next season, can anyone tell me o another club where 8,9 or even 10 new faces have been put together and it's just worked immediately??, I'm struggling to think of any, and I'm saying this quietly....9/10 it usually has the opposite effect and it doesn't happen, my big hope is Paul Wotton is in charge and he knows this league inside and out, and we are in safe hands with him, I just think we need to be realistic, esp with some decent teams in this league that we all saw last season, and now Borehamwood as well.

I am not being negative, but would welcome some further information.

Firstly, we are told that Jay Foulston enjoyed a stellar season with Yeovil. If that was the case I'm a little curious as to why they didn't offer him a contract. That's not a criticism of the young man and I hope he has a brilliant couple of years at Plainmoor.

Secondly, I note that Oscar Threlkeld has played nine matches over the past two seasons. In view of the Kevin Dawson fiasco, I trust that the club has carried out in-depth enquiries to ensure that, notwithstanding unforeseen events, he will spend more time on the pitch than in the treatment room. As with Foulston, I wish him well.

Got to agree with you on this point. It is good that all the deadwood is going out the door, I do hope Moxey stays on though, shame for Archer and Lovett who I would of kept on, it's highly doubtful that we'll go up or even be in play offs, it's going to be a brand new squad at this rate, it'll take plenty of time to all come together and be a success, doesn't matter if you're PSG, AC Milan, Juventus or Barca let alone Gulls, you cannot play 8,9,10 new signings all at once and expect it to gell from the get go, it wouldn't happen for those teams I've stated let alone Gulls, we need to have a sense of reality, mid table will do me just fine.

He must have asked the same questions you did and agreed/talked through all what Warnock being around would entail.

Warnock isn’t being paid, it’s obviously a part time thing where he has control on his time given. He has stated his intention to not manage, or even visit the training ground, might this change if we go through a bad patch, who knows?

It does feel though that he wants to enjoy the nice parts of football now, not the stressful/time and energy consuming side, using his expertise to help with the behind the scenes stuff and hopefully enjoying just watching it all develop. It’s got to be a win win for us.

Fair play, and point taken

I never said you did, I'm trying to understand why you said something about negativity?, I saw the posts about Hoilett and Young, and i mentioned it wouldn't happen along with league 1 players dropping down to regional football, Ive said on this platform that Paul Wotton is a fantastic manager and it's great he's joined us, I just don't want to much over involvement from Neil, on the training pitch,in the dug out,tactics and formation etc all need to kept to Paul and he needs the breathing space to do his job, his way ...and for whatever reason that's deemed as negative?

Negativity??, you being serious??, you think we'll sign Luke Young and Hoilett?, is that me being negative if I think that won't happen, or is it me being negative for wanting Paul Wotton to run the show and for him and him only to be doing things his way?....like I say and I'll repeat Incase you didn't take it onboard, you need to call somebody...

The Great Muta!

Shocking....all of them, why the messing about with things, none look like proper kits.

UnitedinDevon wrote: ↑17 May 2024, 11:00 Your last sentence is laughable

It's clear who is who from the press conference and both PW and NW are strong but respectful characters

Plus already reported that PW will have his own assistant joining him anyway

So fans on this site have mentioned Luke Young joining us, dropping in Junior Hoilett, banging on about Warnock and his contacts thinking league 1 players will be joining us.....I happen to mention something and it's laughable??....you need to call somebody....

The Great Muta!

I did wonder what Neil's role would be a good week or so ago, now it's out there, lots saying or reporting he was just an advisor, helper out, guest of the club etc etc, but he's DOF, I just hope this works out, players need to know Paul Wotton is the boss,he picks the team, it's his XI out on the pitch with his formation and tactics and game plan.. I can see that, or it appears that Neil and Paul get on great, but we don't need a messy or over complicated system in place ..I just hope Neil isn't to full on and isn't Paul's assistant manager in disguise...

I know what you mean, but it needed a change, a total fresh start and rebuild, as nice as Downes was, it's the correct decision and we've got a brilliant manager with huge potential, superb by the new owners to get him, well done to everyywhos pulled this off..

Absolute shocker.

That's a bit harsh... The crest was good, the kit wasn't that bad, the era was shit with us badly struggling and football (lower level) really in the doldrums, gates,grounds,standard of football at that time wasn't good but this was up and down the country..

The Great Muta!

The current club crest isn't good in my eyes, it looks just like the Motorola phone symbol, what exactly is it?, the Dave Webb era was bad, mainly because the club were skint and lower league football at that time wasn't good, but I still really liked the palm tree badge, I'm not saying I enjoyed the Dave Webb era, but I do think some of players we had at that time were better than fans realise.

The Great Muta!

Thought the club crest from 84 to 86 was the best, with the palm trees, I didn't even mind the blue kit,
