I would far rather the PNLs stayed up than the Franchise, but it would have been highly amusing had Liam Manning not only sown the seeds of taking MK into the festering climes of the fourth tier, but actually sealed the deal with Oxford.
As it is, I’m simply hoping that Manning can follow in Karl Robinson’s footsteps of getting the three-sided ones playing pretty but thoroughly ineffectual tippy-tappery.
If they do finally arrive where they should have started, suggestions on here for an appropriate sport for them to ground share with ......
I would love it if their first home game is v Wrexham, who have 6,700 season ticket renewals already. Plenty of room at stadium mk. What a ticketing dilemma that would be for them!
We are having fun on here, which is our message board. If any of their fans on here tonight I would be very surprised and if they are it is their own fault.
Also as @PBo says, they are a special case. The more that we remind ourselves and the footballing fraternity that that club was taken away from its fans the less likely it is that the horrible thing will happen to any other proper club.
I think MK going down is the best result of today, and hopefully they won't have a chance to get relegated next season as will hopefully have gone bust by then !
They sold four excellent players in O'Riley, Fisher, Darling and Twine and netted 7M. They've had more loans this season but none have hit the heights of players last season.
OK, fair point. But the rest of the football fraternity have been saying they'll go bust ever since they were formed in 2004. They've been down to L2 before, and come back up.
While on the subject of the travails of other clubs, I had a look at the Derby fans forum thread for the Sheffield game.
Apparently, it's all a conspiracy by the EFL and FA to keep them out of the playoffs. It was never a penalty or red card, apparently. Oh, and Barnsley fielded a side of Under12s to facilitate Posh taking 6th place.
Not emphathising with MK Dons at all. Just saying, be careful what you wish for.
There is no similarity at all with Wasps. They were formed in 1866, one of the founder clubs of the RFU, and have never 'stolen' another club. The move to Coventry was, in my view, a vanity project which was always doomed to fail, and said so in the club forum at the time.
@bargepole but they keep doing it whilst losing millions upon millions of £ and needing their chairman to bail them out.
Makes our losses pale in significance.
At some point (hopefully soon) he’ll pull the plug.
Cant imagine there’ll be a massive queue of people to take over a club with a 32000 seater stadium who get less than 5000 paying customers each game (they give our masses of freebies).
At some point the project will go belly up and they’ll have to start again at the bottom of the pyramid (like they absolutely should have done in 2002)
They do a lot of good work in the community with kids, that’s the only positive I can think of. Everything else about them is abhorrent.

I think it is best not to glory in others misfortune. We don’t know what next season will look like for us.
It is unbelievable though to go from play-offs to relegation in a year.
I believe Wasps are looking to infest Solihull Moors’ ground from next season, though I don’t believe it’s been finalised yet.
Would be perfect to marry one apparently rootless franchise with another, though.
The only downside to this is you’ve got to feel sorry for the League 2 clubs who have to play them next year.
Of course——tee hee
3,350 in each of the two top corners 😂
I’m not sure they’ll have the luxury next season. Home games with Salford, Barrow and Harrogate aren’t going to pay the bills.
Luton groundsharing as a Prem team might. That would be very funny (although I wouldn't wish that on Luton).
Tbf Salford could come up.
That would still outnumber the home fans. Unless they gave away freebies which might be popular with .... err neutrals?!
Rejoicing in the misfortunes of other clubs, whoever they are, is tempting fate.
If we are struggling to stay in L1 next season, while MK are secure in the top 6 of L2 would make us look like a right bunch of plonkers.
And a big shout out to the MK bellends who sang their pathetic Bayo song down Hillbottom Lane this season.
It's the risk if you go too strong on loanees and sell your best player.
Agreed. They'll lose the absolutely incredible numbers we take there
I don’t care, MK is a special case. I wouldn’t wish relegation on any other club. Let them go bust; the phoenix club will have my blessing.
Inject it (look at the state of his licence plate 🤮) https://twitter.com/bencrutchleyy/status/1655219870907215874?t=u6HB3aipRCyXOUwqRESbKw&s=19
I absolutely love that. Great post 😊😊😊😊
The slide was also started by Wycombe, when we killed their Champo dreams.

@railwaybeth made a playlist, she says she wouldn't do it for anyone else.

Joyous!
Bla bla bla I’m gonna make up a scenario in my head to try and wind up some old men
No understanding of anything. One of the worst posters in Gasroom history.
I'm actually not surprised a Wasps fan would empathise with Mk Dons. They're similar sorts of sports franchises
