Mohammed does have something based on that run saturday, but agree he isnt yet ready take until next season to see if he will make it. if fleetwood was cheap he would be worth a punt but he wont be so no point

Please no more non-league strikers!

[Luci]

I see Akinfenwa is being released from Millwall after his deal expires.  Wonder where he will end up? (No Im not suggesting here before anyone says anything)

Leeds have also extended their keepers contract till season end.  Perhaps then they'll pounce for Brez?

[Boeta]

Im not expecting the new management team to keep Pook to be honest - its pretty obvious Byrne doesnt like him and he seems to have the biggest say at present.

Also we might see Zaaboub released - I dont think his histrionics during the Swansea game would have gone down too well with Byrne.

Re the new striker we are after .. Stuart Fleetwood of FGR has been mooted by someone I spoke to earlier.

You mean another non league striker like The Prophet who there is no guarntee that he will make the grade and will probably take him a season to adjust....I think we need proven strikers that can play and adjust immediately

like freddie eastwood right?

Doing great at wolves isnt he

Jamie Mackie of Exeter's being linked with Championship and L1 clubs - played approx 30 games for MK Mongs (when in Championship) so at least has a bit of experience of league footie.  

Could be worth a punt as he probably won't cost much...

Were Franchise ever in the championship??  Did they change locations whilst at that level??  I can't remember tbh.

[Melksham Red]

Yes but were still known as Wimbledon.

ripped from wikipedia:

During the 2003-04 season, Wimbledon F.C. was run by the administrators and many of the team's players were sold. At the end of a dismal season, the club was relegated to League One (the new name for the Second Division). During the summer of 2003, the National Hockey Stadium was converted for use as a football stadium, and in September 2003, Wimbledon F.C. moved into the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes. By spring of 2004, Winkelman bought the near-bankrupt club from the administrators.


Change of name

In June 2004, against the recommendations of the Football Association's Independent Commission, Winkelman announced that he was changing the name of Wimbledon FC to Franchise FC. This was not a popular decision - Winkelman had previously promised fans a vote on the issue, and the committee of the official supporters' club had voted unanimously for the word "Wimbledon" to be retained in the name.

Cheltenham had a bid rejected from him and Stuart Fleetwood of FGR

So in summary Franchise never played in the Championship, they have always been a lower league club.

Depends on how you look at it i suppose. I still don't count them as a club at all.
