What if Wimbledon had become the Dublin Dons? Ft. Ciarán Carlin | BBC Sounds

Specs Gonzalez is joined by co-host Tego Sigel and Ciarán Carlin to discuss what would have happened if Wimbledon had become the Dublin Dons. In 1996 there was a concerted attempt to relocate the then Premier League club Wimbledon FC to Dublin. When the club became homeless in 1991, owner Sam Hammam had the idea to move the Dons to Dublin. In the end the FAI and FIFA blocked the move, and Wimbledon ended up moving to Milton Keynes, later to be renamed to MK Dons.
If Wimbledon moved to Dublin, would they become Premier League Champions? Does Dublin become the number one city in Europe? Do Wimbledon become an elite European team? As always Specs has all the answers inside the world of his imagination.

Dublin is a big city. I think Dublin could support a massive soccer club side. I do not want a UK and Ireland league. As all the Scottish trophies would be relegated to the status of non-league trophies. While all the EngIish trophies would be seen as forerunners of the UK and Ireland trophies. So English sides would be seen as having titles already, while Celtic, Rangers, and Aberdeen would be regarded as having won none. I would prefer a best of both worlds scenario. Where we keep our Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English leagues. But on top of domestic and European football, we also have extra cross border cups with club sides from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, England, North America and France. Cross border cups are the solution. The Scots already allow Welsh and Northern Irish sides in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Let's have 3 strong leagues in Great Britain, not one. Lets have strong leagues in Ireland. I do not want the Scottish clubs to join the EPL, as everyone would think Scotland was in England.
