MK Dons appoint Crawley Town boss Scott Lindsey as their new head coach, replacing Mike Williamson.

Good move from MK Dons to recruit one of the most capable of managers in the EFL.

Scott takes over someone else's side so it will possibly take time for him for his influence to take hold.

He will probably have to go into the transfer market in January to bring in up to half a dozen new players.

Hopefully he won't be casting an eye on some of the Notts players in January, such as Dan & Jodi, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Going down a division may look strange to some, but the club will have plenty of funds available from the new Kuwaiti owners, subject to EFL sustainability rules of course.

I do expect MK Dons to be up there in the top half of the table, challenging at least for a playoff place, near the end of the season.

I need to start wearing my glasses more, I only need them at times, but I thought the picture was Ally McCoist at first.

MK Dons have a weird way about appointing their managers: they seem to go on "names" with "reputation" and then they appoint managers who have earned promotion with other teams. Scott Lindsey did well with Crawley Town last season, but is he the right manager to turn their season around?

This will be his third league club, so it's not a convincing decision - if I supported the plastic club I would be somewhat disappointed. Considering how poor they started, you would have thought they would go with someone with a bit more experience and a better track record with promotion. That's just my view. I might be wrong, but I don't see how he's any better than their previous manager.

Not only have Crawley lost Players from their Promotion winning side, but Now their Head Coach as well.

It could be a good thing for Crawley Town. They might be able to appoint someone who can keep them in League One. With the loss of players they have had, it shouldn’t be too hard for a new manager to get to grips with the team. It’s much different for Scott Lindsey. He has a whole new group of players he needs to win over. With a team that is massively underperforming and the pressure on, I don’t think many expect Crawley to stay up.

i hope mk dons continue to struggle, because they feel they are bigger than they are and are one of the worst clubs for thinking they deserve to be somewhere they have never been. them making it the championship has shown that they are still a small club, if they were as big as they think, that should have been a turning point.

here they are back in league two, signing other clubs successful managers hoping it will make them a good team.

MK Dons came into being by being changed from Wimbledon FC.

In my opinion that shouldn't have been allowed.

When MK Dons were formed they should have been forced to start in a much lower tier of the league pyramid to be fair to other clubs.

Clubs should no longer be allowed to move to a different Town & change their name to that Town or City.
