The gift that keeps on giving for AFC, Sam Hammam, Merton BC and the apathetic locals = Just blame MK.
When Sam Hammam purchased WFC for a £1 in the early 80's, then within a year tried to move the club to Selhurst as a 4th division club = Just blame MK.
Sam Hammam paid a £1 to Ron Noades, who owned Palace and Selhurst Park (a property deal and share of the money right there) = Just blame MK.
When Merton BC removed the recreational clause for a payment of £750,000 from club funds, when they should've looked to secure the club's future in the borough first = Just blame MK.
When Hammam sold Plough Lane to Safeway in 1991 and pocketed the £8m (as above, nice cut for Mr Noades), thus removing the club's property assets = Just blame MK.
1991 - 2003 at Selhurst, relegation, without a Premier League place, on the road to liquidation - What, forget that right now. MK stole Wimbledon from Wimbledon.
Quick form a club ASAP and build it from a low cost base, which of course is fair and reasonable. Yet they ignore the fact that they knew they couldn't afford to fund WFC at Selhurst in the Championship, as a FL club thereafter. Doesn't stop them continuously whining about it.
Anyway COYMKD!!!
I can’t believe what I’m about to say… Good post.
