MKD didn't try to steal Wimbledon's history. The club moved to Milton Keynes and changed names. Once established they wanted nothing to do with their former location and were happy to hand back the history.
Follow the fans and AFCW are the descendants of Wimbledon FC, but follow the players, backroom staff and place in the Football League and MKD are the true descendants. - This is not a nice thing to admit, but it happens to be true. - The EFL should have been fucked over for allowing the move and the owners should have been hammered for engineering a position where a move out of London was inevitable.
