Why did the original Wimbledon go to Milton Keynes in the first place? I forget the whole story.
Money  and greed.

Was there not talk at the time of them moving to Dublin? Possible during Joe Kinnear's reign?

Here is an excellent summary of the whole episode:

I seem to remember Dunphy being one of the chief cheerleaders for it. Brilliant how it all turned out now. Wimbledon are a great co-op club and alongside Portsmouth, FC United, Hereford, Finn Harps, Bohemians, Cork City and all the others out there they provide a great alternative to the various mega wealthy vanity companies posing as football clubs that dominate the headlines and coverage.
