THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Stability more than anything. The fact that they have a pritty good track record bar New York. Leipzig and Salzburg were nobodies until red bull took over. Why are you so against it? Any new owner is a risk but at least financially red bull wouldn't fuck us over but as I say it's a moot point as it will never happen

Ironically, I don't want my clubs identity to be completely overhauled. We are MK Dons. Not MK Red Bulls.

Hilariously ironic I know, but I've grown to care about what we represent as a club and who we are. Not simply having a successful football club in MK regardless what that means to the name, badge, colours, identity etc.

Yeah.. ironic.

They won the Austrian title in 94, 95 and 97, UEFA Cup Runners up in 94. Played in the UEFA Cup in the 70s and the 90's, as well as the Champions League in 95, 96 and 98. It has definitely brought them more success and a stability but they were far from nobodies.

I don't think it matters any more. A few years ago we had a club with strong community ties, lots of young local players coming through, attractive football and a bit of an 'us against the world' spirit. Doesn't seem like we have any of that now. The club feels cold, sterile, distant, faceless and unaccountable.

I always railed against a foreign/big business takeover because it would destroy all those little bits of soul that had been cultivated. But if they've already gone, it doesn't matter either way.

I vote that change works to bring that stuff back. Only less than a year agobwe we're perfectly fine off the field, fans were more together than ever. As quickly as it's built up, it's of course, gone pear-shaped, but that doesn't mean you just say fuck it and let some energy drink company change course.

Some very interesting comments on this thread - thanks. It is indeed complex. I suppose the gist of posting was to say as long as we continue as we are, we will be nothing more than a League One club at best...but maybe we have to resign ourselves to that and be content? But surely Pete had bigger ambitions when he started out..."we want to be Premiership" etc etc

In that case it would be even more difficult to find a buyer willing to accept that clause attatched to the deal.

If any buyer is serious about actually running a professional football team, the covenant isn't an issue. That's why it's there, after all.
