That, or we just cut a loan deal short for their best player and know how horrible that is so have sweetened the deal by giving them another one in return? Think that's more likely.


Yeah, but fuck Swinedon. Still not over them playing a weakened team against Preston towards the end of the 14/15 season because they'd rather have faced us in the playoffs then them

Let’s be honest though, any hate is usually always limited to fans, across all clubs. The players never really hate or dislike one another, same goes for the board and staff etc. They’ll be multiple MK Don’s players who are good friends with AFC players for example.

We had no option but the recall Kemp, but Devoy needed game time and the club has no reason to not loan to Swindon. It’s perfect for is really, as an opportunity for him to stay in England and compete at the same level as us.

Probably going off on a rant here, but I saw a clip of grown adults hurling abuse at Deliah Smith, lobbing beer cans at her car etc. just because she supports Norwich and not Ipswich. I like rivalry in football, but screaming abuse at the opposition (players, fans, staff) is just desperately cringe.

Swindon fans think it's more to do with the Twine money than any relationships at a higher level.

Considering their financial situation, somehow I’d struggle to believe they’d accept a Devoy loan over cash. I also don’t think we’d have any issues paying it either.

They’re just guessing and portraying it as fact

I actually feel sorry for Devoy. He probably thinks English football is a basket case. In his year and half in England he will have been managed by Manning, Lewington, Johnson, Jackson, Alexander, Williamson, Flynn and now whoever else comes in at Swindon. Honestly how is a young player supposed to kick on and develop in those circumstances.

Yeah, I feel a bit sorry for him too. Hopefully he 'clicks' with whoever comes in now.
