Wildling: My Autobiography

Product Information

City are yet to win in the league this season and have taken just two points from a possible 27 so far. McIndoe grew up in a culture of drugs and gang warfare that meant he was carrying a knife at the age of 12. Meanwhile, files are still sitting with the Crown Prosecution Service as it decides whether or not to charge him. At the end of the 2000–01 season, the team just missed out on automatic promotion as they finished second.

He has an extensive background in being part of some massive clubs in England as a player and has also proven that he can commit fully to guiding teams through transitioning and challenging periods as a manager, based on his impact at Gretna. For the second season running he finished as Rovers' top scorer with 13 goals (10 from penalty kicks), and was voted into the PFA Team of the Year for League One. He was named Doncaster Rovers Player of the Year and was the only player in the championship winning side to be named in the PFA Team of the Year. Following the alleged fraud in 2012, McIndoe went bankrupt in 2015, claiming that he had no money or bank accounts. He also became the first player in history to have all 24 Conference managers vote unanimously for the same player as Nationwide Conference Player of the Year.This was despite a lavish lifestyle with multiple properties, expensive cars and a nightclub in London’s West End. It is a long list of players, including many former team-mates, who were reported to have been stung by the man who is now trying to reinvent himself as a first-time manager at Gretna 2008 FC in the fifth tier of Scottish football. These were all above board, he insists, as they were all personal loans and 80 per cent were done through lawyers. In the opinion of its directors NIFA is neither a network nor a network firm within the meaning of the Code of Ethics of the International Federation of Accountants applying to assurance assignments. The team played in the Middlesex County League Central and East Division One and McIndoe played 12 games scoring 8 goals.

There is, however, another theory that he keeps a low profile because he knows that a lot of the people who lost out financially hold a serious grudge against him.

Perhaps the best place to start is by delving a little deeper into McIndoe’s background rather than focussing everything on the missing millions and the five-year period for which he will always be synonymous. Club chairman John Dickson said: "We are very happy and pleased to have Michael on board as our new manager. McIndoe began his career at Luton Town, where he made his home league professional debut at 18 years old against Burnley on 5 September 1998. In the 2013–14 season McIndoe along with old Luton Town and MK Dons teammate Jude Stirling helped to coach young players at London Elite while playing alongside them. before McIndoe was declared bankrupt in 2015 and the Metropolitan Police launched a fraud investigation through the specialist Falcon Unit at New Scotland Yard.

That was when Paul Merson, a former England international battling his own demons, paid him a visit and, unofficially, became his mentor.It is a new look and a new start and, for the time being, he has no desire to be reminded about what has gone before. City are without a win in the league this term with two points from their nine league matches to date. On Saturday, they reverted to type by crashing out of the Scottish Cup with a 4-1 home defeat to Drumchapel United but it has still been an encouraging start for Gretna with a new manager who is described by one former team-mate as “one of the most hated men in football”. Then there is the story he tells about the time he went round to his father’s flat, where he would sometimes sleep on the floor, and was given an ultimatum.
