Kinda makes me wonder how john would react if they ever tried to come back (which they won't). But I'd reckon not well.

If they hadn't tried to claim the history as their own I don't think it would have been nearly as controversial. Calling themselves "The Dons" and referencing 1889 as the founding date was just insulting.
