THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

I don't understand the hostility to Red Bull: their F1 team is a local employer and current the best in the business and their football teams are successful. I can't see it happening, but if Pete decides to sell, we could do worse.

I'm OK with being a L1 club for the next few decades. I don't see the fascination with having to be in the PL or championship to be honest.
A few more fans and some more noise would be good but not bothered about busy car parks, not being able to get out of the ground for ages or hundreds of police being around every home game.

Sadly, I think this is the nub of it. We probably shouldn't forget that it was a game changing deal that bought the team to MK, maybe this is in our DNA and how we are destined to evolve.

We’ve sold everything else, we might as well sell Pete.

Hypothetically, if Red Bull were investors and whatnot there generally isn't an issue. But if they own the club, they change the name, the badge, alter the colours (we wear white and have red sometimes so not much to change there) and doctor the stadium with Red Bull imagery, adverts and logos every turn.

Being owned by Red Bull stops us being MK Dons.

I don't think many of the fan base disagree with the idea that either a new ownership model or significant investment could be a positive step for the club. What I cannot agree with is the title of this thread. The time to sell is if, and when, there is genuine interest from an ownership group with significant finances that were seriously interested. We have no idea who may want us or if anyone does at all, particularly if we are heading to L2. We also don't know what sort of deal would be needed to land the club considering all the outside business aspects.

I love everything Winky has done for us, and I definitely err on the side of caution when it comes to wanting a new owner, but I wouldn't object to change in ownership if there was genuine interest. I know people will say well can it get worse, well yes it can get a lot worse. Fans are sombre, frustrated and some are angry, and whilst league position is fucking shit, there remains a level of stability within the club which I am thankful for - even if it is serving up a lot of shit right now.

I think some people think a new owner means a better owner...

I went to watch MK Dons at Wrexham nearly 20 years ago (Aidie Whitbread was part of the setup, remember him?) and they were struggling financially. I thought we'd never play them again, and it would be onwards and upwards for us.

We might be playing them in August, and they could rightfully claim to be the bigger team, with a Club Mission.
