Dons Snap Up McGovern

Hartlepool United’s League Two rivals MK Dons have today secured the services of Sheffield Wednesday winger Jon-Paul McGovern.

It had been rumoured that McGovern was high on Pools summer shopping list, but the spending power of Dons chairman Pete Winkleman and the persuasive powers of new gaffer Martin Allen convinced the flying winger to choose the Dons ahead of Pools.

So that’s two of Pools top targets (Hamshaw & McGovern) signed up and ready to face Pools in the new season.

I must admit MK Dons look a strong bet for the League Two championship, with the addition of Allen and some impressive signings, coupled with a brand spanking new ground I expect them to be a very strong team during the new season.
