  "account": "MK Dons' manager, Paul Warne, has led the team back to the third tier of English football after a three-year stint in the fourth. The side, currently sitting 22nd in the league, has struggled to secure a win since the start of the season, drawing six matches and losing one of their first seven games. Recently, they drew 0-0 against AFC Wimbledon and claimed a 7-1 victory over Brentford's under-21s. Warne, who took charge in April last year, previously spent six years as manager at Rotherham United, guiding the club to three promotions in his tenure. In his first season at MK Dons, he achieved promotion by finishing runners-up in League Two. Warne favors a direct, high-intensity style of play and signed ten new players this summer, with five joining on free transfers and three on loan. Their squad includes forwards Aaron Collins and Sam Silvera, who have scored 16 goals combined this season.",
