Isn't it time we had a Chairman who was prepared to spend some money to take our club to where it ought to be?

A family man shouldn't have his Winkie out.

How do you think the family was created?

No, winkie in. Wouldnt want some out of town big time charlie using us as his play thing penis extension. I would welcome the idea of a kit colour change if only to piss our neighbours off and a badge change from that b tec badge we have though.

Im happy as long as we remain self sufficient and funded on our prize money and matchday revenue and winkie keeps balancing that loss we make. Dont want some false finances tho.

Ahh the annual "lets blame the chairman" post.

Pete is a brilliant chairman and will be putting far more into this club than you think. I for one love how passionate he is about MK Dons and wouldn't want anyone else owning this club. You have to realise that the grass is not always greener. Look around at other clubs and who they are owned by and you'll realise how lucky we are.

Also, if you are serious about getting someone new to run this club, how would you go about it? Do you know a millionaire/billionaire ready to buy MK Dons? Its not that simple..

Demonstrate how money is the issue, where Winkie is supposed to get said money from, and we'll have a debate.

We all got fairly excited about (some of) the signings, we think we have a good squad, few people dismissed Robbie's ambitions to be promoted when he stated them - everyone wanted that. It hasn't happened but I'm not convinced Winkelman or money are the issue. If all clubs wanted their chairman out because they didn't reach the top of the league it would be a very sad state of affairs indeed.

Not all clubs can get promoted every year, there needs to be some reasonable expectation - aim for it but when it doesn't happen I don't think we need meltdowns. What is it with the sense of entitlement? We've got a great stadium. We've got some good players. Doesn't mean we are gods gift to football. The most important thing is surely that fans keep turning up and the team put in a good effort. I have enjoyed watching us come back to draw 2-2 against teams we would have taken a draw from at the start. Does that enjoyment mean I want Winkie out? No. Would I prefer us to win? Of course. Do we expect them to win every match? Not every team is going to do that. Why should ours?

If we were to get promoted and there wasn't funding to buy the right players to keep us up, that would be an issue.
