Surely though Ginny 'cutting our cloth' if things deteriorated, means part time and a very much reduced squad, in our outpost location how could we recruit decent players on a part time basis when there are absolutely no jobs around here to supplement their incomes? IMO that would condemn us to non league indeterminently (no part time teams ever get promoted) and our fan base would dwindle to nothing.
I agree I think it would be a downward spiral with all funding coming from decreasing gate receipts. What we need is an all-out appeal to the plastics in the town to help save their local team by giving their support to a team that actually needs it. Tug at them heart-strings (though not too hard as a lot of them are couch potatoes and would probably have a coronary) |

MP resigned from the board because he was lied to.
JF resigns under false circumstances and let's face it, he has engineered his ticket out of the mess he has administered.
MP isn't at fault here, no wonder no one came forward if this is how JF and his puppets act.

[i]Parker didn't say he wouldn't bankroll the club after this season.He said he wouldn't make a commitment to,which is a subtle difference and mayhe he will make that commitment once other things have fallen into place.[/
Yes I thought I heard similar ginnywings.
I thought it was something like 'I won't finance it while I am not on the board' or words to that effect. Meaning he currently isn't on the board, so wouldn't. But with him potetially choosing his new Chairman he would be then in the driving seat so could then finance the club again.
Fair point Ginny/Peeler, but if MP is waiting for his chance to take total control, he will have lost a major financial contributor to a loss making business in JF and unless he is willing to cover twice the investment (unless he can attract another investor) i cannot see him doing it. Just my opinion. |

IF thats the way JF is acting, why would MP want to work with him?? |

To be honest i very much doubt he would want to now,i think this episode is an eye opener for Parker, who i freely admit isn't an angel, but which is why i said that another financial contributor is needed, because i cannot see MP bearing it all. |

But surely that is preferable to no team at all? Where there's life there's hope and all that.I'm sure there are teams in this league who are full time on lesser gates than usand teams that have fallen further than us and come back stronger. I don't really know,just looking at it with a positive eye instead of all the "we are doomed" comments. |

I'm no lawyer but reading this rule 9 makes me think that either Mike Parker is going to be obliged to buy out all other shareholders or reduce his stake in shares so that he does not have to make an obligatory offer... So either Fenty loses control but gets paid for his shares at a rate set by the panel or Parker cedes control back to Fenty (obviously he'll have to be voted back as Chairman by the board but that only needs 2 votes... Chapman and Elsom  ) Or they both walk away and lose millions? Can't see that happening! |

Understand that mate, but i just think that going part time would just be a long lingering death - its not so bad
if we were Nottingham area for example, where there are plenty of decent players within short distances to pick up
on a part time basis - we d'ont have that luxury.
I am a supporter for 4 decades now and the last thing i want to see is GTFC's demise, suppose all we can do is pray somehow it doesn't come to that.

I think a number of you have assisted in the demise of gtfc with your hatred of John fenty.

Right. So everything JF says is a lie and everything Parker says is Gospel. I think not. |
