I thought that MK would be serious about promotion this season. This signing makes it clear why Tisdale likes a roller and a long term project.

Please please please unleash Simpson against City at the end of next month. :D

Now that one IS a head-scratcher. I'd thought Simpson would have retired or dropped to semi-pro level.
Indeed. But it may be that what a relegated club need most of all is the right characters to change its culture and to build a squad spirit. In modern football you need players who can give you the occasional 10-20 minutes, but who aren’ t angling for a transfer because they are not starting.

Pointedly on MKD website it says a ‘short term deal’, so months only. And IIRC Simpson did alright in his last ECFC match and many were disappointed that he was left out for the next game....

I'm not sure the people of Milton Keynes have the patience to see him cobble together a side full of one legged characters and proper chaps.

Seems a strange one to me but he must know what his doing 10+ years of successful-ish manager experience

His agent should be put in charge of Brexit negotiations.

Tisdale does what Tisdale does and he certainly loves a speculative signing. Let’s just hope that all those years we waited to see what Simpson could do come back to haunt us.
