I'm not going to get into the rights and wrongs of the situation the club is in now and who is to blame.

My concern is the latter stages of the MP interview. Its apparant that neither Fenty or Parker are going to financially support the club like previous seasons next season.

Where does that leave the club financially, Parker stated the club needs to cut its cloth accordingly. What do posters think this will result in next year?

No Youth set up,? Part time? Only a proffessional first team squad?

what do you think?

From what parker said last night,hes got a list of candidates to take the chairs jobs,which makes me think that he,s not telling us the full story and that he does actually want the club to himself!only time will tell!

i'm increasingly convinced that last night was scare mongering and positioning; part of a strategy to paint fenty in the worst possible light and with mp subsequently riding to our rescue. if parker is a life long fan and if he's worth £60 million then funding town is not a big thing to him, relatively

The sooner we start a petition to 'Bring Back Fenty' the better.

It is clear from all the posts in recent days that we didn't hate Fenty afterall and actually loved him.

Either MP knows some wealthy individual ready to take over and purchase his shares from him or we are in a very bad situation. Oh for the benefit of hindsight. If only we had gone into admin on the back of ITV Digital way back then, we may not have been in this mess today. AFC Grimsby doesn't have the same ring to it somehow.

Unless Fenty or someone puts his own money in,

It's part time for most of the players next year,

AND

Years of non league footy for us.

There are clubs that survive on smaller gates who also don't have rich chairpersons.
It would make life a lot harder for us certainly, but would we really be doomed?

Does anyone know how many staff, outside of the managers and players, GTFC employ.  At first glance it seems like a frightening amount to me.
