Former Wimbledon boss Dave Bassett thinks the club's proposed move to Milton Keynes is all part of the club ditching its out-dated 'Crazy Gang' image. The Dons are to seek permission from the Football League to move to a 45,000 capacity all-seater stadium in the Buckinghamshire town. Their move away from London will be a far cry from their 'Crazy Gang' heyday when Bassett guided them from the old fourth division to sixth-place in the top flight, during a seven year spell as manager at their old Plough Lane ground. But Bassett insists it is now time for the Dons to move on, and the move to Milton Keynes is all part of that process.
Life goes on.
Wimbledon have got to push on. Now it's a totally different concept at the club, there are Norwegian owners, nothing stays the same forever. I understand people living round there will be disappointed, because it's a damn long way to Milton Keynes but if that's the only way they can progress they've got to do that. The former Sheffield United and Barnsley boss does have some reservations about taking the club so far out of London. It's alright to talk about busing people up but that can't last forever.
