Burton threatens to quit
Burton is unhappy with the Dons' facilities
Wimbledon manager Terry Burton has warned chairman Charles Koppel he may quit unless the club find a new home. The Dons lost their third straight game 1-0 to Barnsley at Selhurst Park, where angry supporters protested against a proposed move to Milton Keynes. Wimbledon have not owned their own stadium or training ground in the two years Burton has been in charge. He has already threatened to quit once this season over the club's uncertain future.
With one year left on his contract and the threat of losing 16 out-of-contract players this summer, he is again considering his position. He said: "I am in my last year here now and I am not sure what the future holds. "There are a lot of positive things at this club, but also some negative ones." "I said when I came here I wanted the players to have their own training ground and as yet we do not have that, which I find very disappointing. "These are the things you need if you are going to develop and move forward as a club." Meanwhile, Barnsley boss Steve Parkin had mixed feeling after his side's victory - as Barnsley's relegation to Division Two was confirmed last weekend.
He said: "It was frustrating to get a win today when it was really needed last week, but that is football. "We have not finished the season on a high, but on a positive note. "We have to accept what has happened and what a poor season it has been. "I was pleased though to see that this result still meant something to the players considering it could do nothing to our position in the league." |
