Marcus Browne: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” AFC Wimbledon have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

AFC Wimbledon bid $4.5M for Ugo Raghouber
The offer went to Burnley this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Hannes Gamper hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what AFC Wimbledon can pretend not to have heard.

Up for the corner, and Alistair Smith delivers — 7.14
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Alistair Smith scored, was marked 7.14, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; AFC Wimbledon are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Tom Iorpenda falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Patrick Bauer
The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. AFC Wimbledon will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.
