  • "Some months ago I went to the directors of the Dons Trust, the parent board of the club. I said, 'Some day we will be drawn away to Milton Keynes. What do you want to do?' (en)
  • After a long discussion by the owners, they decided they would not accept hospitality on the day of the game. They instructed the football club board not to go too. The fans are deciding they don't want us to go into the boardroom. Therefore, there will be no hand to shake." (en)
