Yep agree. Drop the "Dons" bit. How about calling themselves MK Roundabouts? Thats about all MK is famous for isn't it?

MK Cows?

Milton Keynes Generic Shit Hole No One Likes...?

At least it'd be factually accurate.

I also agree.

They should be forced to choose between the titles 'Milton Keynes Cow botherers' or 'MK Roundabouteers'.

FC MK.

Franchise FC for me or maybe Plastic Rovers. Better still, the MK Stealers.

Given theclub's "history", they may as well just sell right for their name. They could be Carphone Wearhouse FC one year and Go Compare United the next.

How about the Milton Keynes Wombles?

 

[Yoda]

I agree with the comment on the article.

I would argue that Milton Keynes should keep the "Dons" label as an eternal mark of shame regarding how they came to be...

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Surely it's got to be Milton Keynes Wanderers?

 

[BensGrandad]

Milton Keynes Pathetic,rather than athletic

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Buck$ Raiders?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Milton Keynes abusing the league system by buying a club and relocating them FC?

What a superb article. Stinging to the core.

"A statement read: "WISA believes that AFC Wimbledon’s promotion should be the time for the MK Dons to begin a new chapter in their short history and remove Dons from their name, a tag that remains a prominent beacon of theft and franchising of Wimbledon FC.

"WISA believes the people of Milton Keynes would welcome a name change, new identity and, for a significant proportion of them, it will remove some of the shame and stigma attached to a club that claims it has community values, yet wants a nickname that is not related at all to Milton Keynes."

Simon Wheeler, chairman of WISA, said: “It must be considerably embarrassing for them, and will only get more embarrassing now that the real Dons, AFC Wimbledon, are added to the Football League list.

“Their so called supporters who demand that the name Dons should stay, only do so in a misguided attempt to try and justify their formation wasn’t wrong and to gloat at being the profiteers of franchising at the expense of genuine Wimbledon supporters.

“They no longer can give us our league place back, we regained it the proper way, the Dons way, not the Franchise way.”"

LOVE IT.
