Peter Winkelman: 'I'm not proud of how football came to Milton Keynes' | David Conn

In an earlier

with emotional FA Cup AFC Wimbledon, the man behind the controversial measure Donations' a decade ago, admitted that the case was wrong - but he defended his success

From the top level of the majority, the end of assembly, 30,000-seat stadium at the current location of MK Dons 7500 used the infamous football club from the south of London, Peter Winkelman was against attack. Flooded furiously moving again, Wimbledon to Milton Keynes, Winkelman, former entrepreneur music industry with his shaggy hair and dramatically persuasive brand, is being waged against the supporters who founded his own club in response, AFC Wimbledon.

From

comes out goods AFC Wimbledon triumph withstand being promoted last year in the Football League, playing MK Dons Winkelman, for the first time in the second round of the FA Cup Sunday Winkelman tried to throw the villain in the story. He prefaces his case, to accept Milton Keynes League club transfer of an existing club the other hand, he has tirelessly promoted at that time, was, with hindsight, it is false.

"I had an agreement that was not the owners of Wimbledon and [then] were wrong.'m Not proud of how football came to Milton Keynes" Winkelman said Saturday before MK Dons sparkling 5-1 victory over Colchester United who lifted his club to second place in League One

But then argues - and unconvincing, feels, recklessly - that supporters were also bad, because they buy Wimbledon, when he plunged into administration in 2003. "They left the club, but forced the administration, then do not buy it," says Winkelman. "The club was forced to come to Milton Keynes, which was to be liquidated."

The facts, however, most fans are turned Wimbledon when a group of independent experts FA sanctioned the move to Milton Keynes 28 May 2002, by a majority of 2-1 - Raj Parker , lawyer, and Steve Stride, then Director of Operations at Aston Villa, voting, Alan Turvey, chairman of Ryman League against. Two days later, and formed AFC Wimbledon in the decade that followed Winkelman is convinced the panel of Milton Keynes was impossible to do, raised his club to the football pyramid and the league.

"We assume the opposite of our club," said Kris Stewart, prominent activist against global Milton Keynes, who became the first president of AFC Wimbledon 2002-06. "Club is dead, and we did something positive, won the Football League rather stolen. We are proud of what we accomplished. "

Wimbledon in 2003, went bankrupt in part because most of the fans had left and supported AFC Wimbledon, his way back to the League combined counties. "When we went into administration," says Stewart, "I do not remember anyone thinking that he should buy it, but he was already dead for all of us football now realize what was done was wrong "..

Supporters never accepted

movement building, understand that the license would be given to Asda and Ikea, build massive stores on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, if the stadium was built, and a young league club had to be found to justify it. When you go there, of course, is the huge Asda, chain stores and others attention around the stadium. But Winkelman dismissed Wimbledon fans to underestimate the magnitude of what he has built.

"People think it's easy, you get an Asda and build a stadium like that," he explained, commonly rapid fire, sitting in the lounge of the directors bear "as contingent is in Colchester jackets and ties club, looking a little lost. "Do not be stupid. We did something extraordinary. "

Winkelman explains how he did it, he built this huge stadium, high quality business park around a football club playing perfectly flourishing under impressive young manager Karl Robinson discovered. And you suddenly realize that the most football can not even believe that was deleted by persuading two independent members of the group, was another day for him. The whole project was really FNAC and Ikea, persuaded them to save, Milton Keynes Council, banks, shops and others - said 250 separate legal offerings have been made to date

• is deeply in him, his company, Inter MK Group, owner of the club and the stadium was £ 21 million in debt to the Clydesdale Bank at the date of the last published accounts, for the year June 30 2011, the result, he said, construction projects always exceed your budget. The club itself, with player salaries of £ 3 million per year - "Some players earn more than the Prime Minister, League One," he said - losing money, £ 1.7 million the last year. In July to renegotiate a loan of 5 million pounds to keep the project on track "as a company," he said he did, and since renegotiated again

"When you juggle the money in this credit crisis you have to juggle," he said. "They do not want to lend money to the football club, we have So run losses with the money we everywhere. If you look, I started with the money, and now I have debt. But I have a tremendous asset to him, I will not cry. "

After seeing the possibility of building a stadium in Milton Keynes had disappeared, and he realized he had no Asda store in town, Winkelman bought options to buy the land from its three owners, including tips. Asda would not have granted planning permission for a huge out of town hypermarket, unless the Council has given the benefit of the stadium. Wimbledon would rise, permission is granted, then it would exercise the option to purchase all the land, Asda and Ikea sell for much more, and the difference would be used for the construction of the stadium. Winkelman was originally to facilitate Wimbledon, then give them the stage, and will be given a stake in the club and the board.

When the club went into administration, before the decision Winkelman defines life, taking on himself. Asda because support is leveraged by other funding sources for the Wimbledon manager to keep in existence, about 2 million pounds, reflecting, and £ 850,000 to buy the club.

His treatment of his life are met: Asda paid 35 million pounds for the land, Ikea £ 24m. In total, £ 83m is having to build a high quality 30,000-seat stadium, the filling level concrete top over a covered stadium for 5,000 spectators, and the surrounding infrastructure. Despite the debt, said the Hilton front, revenues McDonalds and KFC, sales of other patches dirt and sand during construction, while establishing payroll. "Everyone buys into the business plan."
dig in on a rainy Saturday afternoon were mostly amateurs 7443 young team Robinson looking to spend their own way and win attractive attractive. The crowd in the middle of large open spaces, far unfulfilled ambitions Winkelman is friendly, pleasant and full of children. Andy Cullen, director of marketing who joined Norwich, said 35% of fans under 18.

How to win one of the MacArthur Foundation's 'genius grants'

If you have not received a share of the $ 500,000 grant coveted this time, a few suggestions to their potential until next year

Genius - up millionaire - is one of only two or three words that tell the world you are at the top of their game King of the hill, top of the stack. It is also likely, very, very intelligent.

and idiosyncratic. Perhaps nerd. Certainly dedicated. Sometimes creative. Sometimes more than one nose to the grindstone worker bee.

Tuesday morning, John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation announced their 2012 peers. $ 500,000 spread over five years, known as "genius grants" are given to "individuals who demonstrate exceptional creativity in their work and the prospect of more in the future." If you did not win one this year, did not matter. Here's how to improve your chances in the future.

1. Be American

- or at least have a green card. Grants are awarded only to citizens or residents of the United States. But do not try to run the country. Although public service assignment is given frequently MacArthurs have something against politicians and not give a subsidy to those who have "elected office or outposts in the government."

2. Do not blow your own trumpet

- even if you are a player of bright band. The Foundation does not receive unsolicited applications or nominations. Instead, meet someone in the "basin nomination changing external guests" of the foundation and convince her talent. There are some indications on how to go about finding these people who are broadcasters? here.

3. In fact forget all the trumpet

- be connected to a cooling board. The winners this year include solo flutist Claire Chase, mandolinist Chris Thile and luthier Benoit Rolland bow.

. Be good at science.

• The largest group of winners this year were in the sciences, with nine awards vary from one person to a pediatric neurosurgeon for a physicist / astronomer. Drug was shown better than that of the environment. But it reflects the current approach of the country. In general, if you want to do, as a scientist, go to medical school.

5. If you want to be a "genius" journalist, no blog

. Unfortunately, short bursts of brilliance as it is often overlooked in favor of the former long-form pieces. Washington Post reporter David Finkel won the prize for his "methods of reporting and finely polished dip empathy often overlook stories that transform the lives of readers ability to understand difficult issues it represents." In addition, two were documentary filmmakers Laura Poitras and Natalia Almada.

6. The pictures are cool

know -. We are all photographers now with our mobile phones and other things. But if you want to win a MacArthur Award will have to push the boundaries a bit. The conceptual photographer Uta Barth won the prize for photographing mundane objects themselves in an environment that we all do fade. But it is this way: "By manipulating the curtains of her house, she has created light curves and lines that extend from a piece of wide ribbon through a sequence of images to large-scale drastically reduced that evoke the passage of time while subtly highlighting visceral and intellectual pleasures also seen.

October 1962: the month that modern culture was born

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first single. But as Love Me Do UK hit record stores, a number of issues - from the Cold War to the civil rights and sexual liberation - also began to shape a tumultuous decade and banish the austere ambiance years 1950

1962: a year of theater - in pictures

On 5 October 1962, a new wave of sound filled the nation. It was rudimentary, simple, straightforward and sexy. "Love, Love Me Do," Lennon and McCartney sang: "You know I love you." The Beatles had arrived, and a new generation had a new soundtrack to your life. Seventeen years after Day victory and VJ Day, the war was over. Rien - in culture, in society, in everyday life itself - would never be the same

When, exactly, the 1960s began? Was it when John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Presidency (January 31, 1960)? When Harold Macmillan acknowledged the "wind of change" sweeping colonial Africa (February 3)? Or when the hotel chain Princess Margaret announced her engagement to a commoner, the photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones, February 26? Or was when Kennedy finally won the U.S. presidential election, a hair November 9

Some go further and deny that any transition has occurred until the new U.S. president, exciting, was sworn in ice blue on the morning of January 20, 1961. Until then, they say, the West was still under the influence of the sclerotic gerontocracy represented by Eisenhower and Khrushchev. One thing is certain: the 1950s took the time to pass into the limbo of lost time

In our reconciliation with the past, never underestimate the power of a line of very good quality. For Philip Larkin, the "annus mirabilis" confirming his discovery of sex, and so start the new decade, famous fallen ("a little late for me") between "the end of the Chatterley ban and the Beatles first LP." From Larkin, has become commonplace to suggest that only 60 slipped out of bed to face the world as late as 1963.

Really? Almanac columns joyless contains evidence that the 60 actually began in October 1962. United States, for example, Monday, October 1 was the day the first black student, James Meredith enrolled at the University of Mississippi white above. The civil rights activists were in motion. This was the month that has become a link between tight gray days of the 50s and the decade Technicolor.

We are, in other words, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of a moment of inattention when baby boomers burst through the door of a heavily guarded this decrease in the courtyard striking near future. Even before October 1962 looks promising as the dawn of a new decade.

In January, the first recording of the Beatles, a song called My Bonnie, credited to Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers, was released by Polydor. In February the United States to put an astronaut into orbit for the first time, when John Glenn was launched from Cape Canaveral on Friendship 7. After three circuits of the Earth, Glenn fell into the Atlantic. The race to the moon - a major challenge of the 60s - began

The

April 7, in a note, the phenomenon is not yet known as the "popular culture", a Brian Jones was presented to two young musicians, Philip Michael (Mick ') Jagger and Keith Richards in a jazz club in Ealing, west London. They formed their band, The Rolling Stones, later this year. A documentary that will be shown at London Film Festival next month is devoted to what happened next.

Steptoe and Son

began a 12-year career in the BBC television, where he became, in the words of one critic, " the popular comedy in the history of British television. "

1962 was also an important year in the politics of the Cold War. In June, the second phase of construction of the Berlin Wall began. In the months that followed, several German fugitives died in the land of no man, a battlefield of mines and barbed wire.

Marilyn Monroe, August 5 was found dead in his bed in Los Angeles from an overdose of Nembutal. The next day, Nelson Mandela was arrested in South Africa, he was convicted of sabotage and, after escaping the gallows, sentenced to life

shot in autumn, and 60 came with the sound of the blues "harmonic spring" and a hint of sadomasochism: the release of Love Me Do and the UK premiere of the film James Bond first Dr No

the same day, Friday, October 5. Beatles raw candor of the working class, mixed with John Lennon riff teenager was the blood of the nation as a drug .

overnight, it seemed, there was a new style, language and rhythm, adding a new set of possibilities private, personal. The contraceptive pill (available in the UK since January 1961) was released from the tyranny of sex condom sad. The 50 "gramophone" became the 60 "turntable". Suddenly, I was hunting in the words of Lennon and McCartney, "someone to love, someone new."

Time flows like a river wide, but the story is in strange eddies and sudden floods. Prime Minister of the time, Harold Macmillan, was asked about the most likely threat to the stability of his government. "Events, dear boy, events," muttered the old Etonian languishing. Credits had rolled right

Rudeness and free speech: why chief whips should set an example| Michael White

As with Internet trolls, customs and taste must act as constraints, and the law - but the double-edged argument

rudeness is back in the news today. As it is always absent, you may ask, when Russell Brand still haunts the airwaves or our courts are required to consider whether current public insults a player of an opponent breaking the law, and spoke quite offensive, but because you can attach a racial epithet? The lack of respect for Islam is inflammatory problem - literally so - again this fall

compared to the agitation by American films and French magazines, national enthusiasm today is mild and not all the news is bad. Andrew Mitchell, the chief government whip, is accused - by the Sun, no less - to be rude to Downing Street police told him he could not ride a bike through the large double doors Whitehall, but should use the pedestrian side door like everyone else in the world of cycling.

'm a little torn on this one. I try not to believe what they (rarely) read in bright sunlight unless it is absolutely necessary. Last week exposure Hillsborough reopened some wounds fade and charitable thoughts about their work habits at the age of Murdoch, but I accept the verdict of Ofcom does not behave this way in BSkyB. Be accused of bad manners of the Sun, is like being accused of selfishness by Edwina Currie.

Again, I know that smoothie, Andrew Mitchell. He can be charming, but a bit stiff and hard. I guess saying something along the lines expressed by the sun. Was it just that the paper collected gossip? Or have bothered to buy brass whip to teach good manners, especially since the incident took place just a day after the murder police double in Manchester?

Maybe

. This kind of thing happens less friendly these days, but even in the days of the social hierarchy pronounced the best type of toff must not abuse their social inferiors in terms so thick. What nostalgic appeal of old times was not remotely like Downton Abbey where mostly the Crawley family seems to be made with the staff concerned.

he does not understand a spectacle worthy effing and blinding police or (denied) he describes as "scum". In the old days the cops could easily be punctured tires Mitchell or worse, the alcohol will bike home. In the trenches of Flanders 1914-1918 could have shot him.

The best news is that during the night, Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), said this week that social media offensive tweets should not attract prosecution unless can be shown that under a "sustained campaign of harassment" -. kind of evil that causes persistent anxiety and sometimes leads people to suicide

Good for Keir Starmer. When launching a consultation on how best to proceed in our new world of social media and often immediate horribly inaccurate here is part of what he said:

"Access to social media is pervasive and instantaneous. Banter, jokes and offensive comments are frequent and often spontaneous. Communications for some can reach millions of people.

"In this context, the CPS [Prosecutor] aims to reconcile the fundamental right to freedom of expression and the need to prosecute serious violations in individual cases. Judgments This often involves very difficult and uncharted territory in social media, the prosecutor leading the case. "

free speech, eh? What will they think of next? You are right and it is also true that it is not easy when the police excessive stretching in many ways, and now faces 14,000 cases per year. Moreover, in the newspapers today, we learned that Internet troll who abused diver Tom Daley and diving partner Peter Waterfield, after failing to win an Olympic medal. It was a clumsy attempt humor and once for a limited distribution, the Crown decided.

However, the person who set up a Facebook site to celebrate the alleged murderer of two policemen of Manchester was arrested this week under the Communications Act of 2003. Putting aside personal feelings agents arrest, I think we can follow the logic of this, we can not. A website is a much more positive note than a tweet, calculated and maintained their offense.

But this is a difficult area in which we are all confused and sometimes contradictory.
To take an obvious example in my field of work, many voters do not like scolding witness in PMQs - but some of the people who hate them even more when they see the political class constructive agreement. It is a harmonious relationship, I do not like. Nick Clegg Same excuses now famous - this step will be a musical West End Christmas - which drew blame out of all proportion to their merits. I just want our elected leaders to hold up the error?

sadness is the least of the problems of Jose Mourinho. The second best player in the world can boast of their assumptions sentences, but at least he always does his best for Real Madrid in the field. According to Mourinho, we can not say the same for some of his teammates.

half of a 1-0 defeat at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Sevilla on Saturday, Mourinho deemed necessary to remove Angel di Maria and Mesut Ozil, two of the brightest sparks in the attack who led the club to the Spanish Championship last May. Neither was injured. Then the manager said he was sorry that he was only a limited number of substitutions that could be used. Otherwise, it could be seven years. Read more.

"Do you think the city will beat Real Madrid tonight and a real chance to lead your group? "

Jamie replies:

I can see how they could win -. Carlos Tevez goal in the first half, then kill the game

Very difficult, but ... I think Jose Mourinho will return to Real Madrid after the defeat at the weekend and in front of their own group, in the first home game of Cristiano Ronaldo since he claimed to be "unfortunate", the city could an interesting opening 20 minutes. A draw is a good result.

For the second, they have a chance ...

24:09

GhostWiper is concerned about the performance of the City and moobs Mourinho:

"How many points do City you need to qualify and do you think Jose Mourinho is fat enough? There was a picture of him on this site yesterday and looked a little Mooby "

2. I will ask him tonight

24:14

SalfordianBlue would be happy with one point:

"Do you think the fans like me should thinking big at this point given our progress and financial support, or do you think we still need more time to make an impact in this scenario? "

Jamie replies:

No, the point is a good result. City should be planning to move the group, however, with all the money spent and team players. That said, Manchester United and Arsenal failed in its second year ...

24:19

AndrewTurner questions about financial fair play:

"Think City, PSG and Anzhi make a parody of the UEFA FFP and do something about it? "

Jamie replies:

City Mancini refused £ 116m for four players this summer, including Eden Hazard RVP and I would say stick ...

24:25

talks nickbluemoon training "Do you think it is likely that the 3-4 Mancho used 3 / 3-5-2 tonight against the real system? Try to hit on the counter by step how to Napoli we did last year? "

• Jamie replies:
would be a surprise if he did not play the 4-2-3-1, but if you want a draw, then 3-5-2 is made for him. This is what Roberto Mancini said last night when asked if equality is the result go to:

"If you have the opportunity, you have to score. A draw is a good result, but our mentality is not to defend, we do not have that mentality."

flat Aguero Mancini to be fit enough to start - you have a chance, says Mancini - then it will front with Carlos Tevez David Silva and Samir Nasri. This is a pretty decent face five years, with Yaya Toure behind.

Mitt Romney 'victims' gaffe: key players

profiles Marc Leder, who organized the fundraising, and "research assistant" the journalist who broke the story

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign is in crisis after being secretly recorded suggesting that 47% of Americans who depend on the government were "victims" who do not pay taxes. The video, recorded earlier this year at a fundraising event in camera, was published by Jones Mother's Day election seven weeks. Among other figures associated with the history are:

Marc Leder

The head of private equity funds organized the fundraiser in Boca Raton, Florida, where Mitt Romney made the comments. Leder was inspired by reports in private equity after a visit years ago, the investment firm Romney. Romney was an early investor in the company Leder, Sun Capital, which has grown to about 8 billion monitor (£ 5 billion) in equity. Since 2008, 25 of its companies - roughly one-fifth of their property - have filed for bankruptcy, according to the New York Times. Leder and his defenders say that most of the companies in which Sun Capital invests are already in trouble when buying, and has saved many businesses and jobs. He is accused of organizing swingers parties, including one in which a couple performs sexual acts in front of other customers. Leder said that the media portrayal of him as a party animal is "absolutely false." He said: "I spend a small percentage throwing some parties, attending some parties like the music I like to dance ..."

• James Carter

The little son of former President Jimmy Carter is credited as a "research assistant" in the article published by Mother Jones on Romney gaffe. In his Twitter profile, Carter describes as "research employment. "He told New York Magazine:" I was looking for clips of Republicans for a long time, most of the time I do just for fun. ". He said he saw the clip on YouTube and tracked down the person who claims to have secretly recorded and sent the video. Carter could be forgiven for enjoying a sense of schadenfreude because Romney has tried to hurt Obama comparing grandfather Carter. Romney accused the two men of the weakness of its foreign policy after the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and the economy.
