Questions for Fenty and Parker

[quote=355]For Fenty- Why have you not written your loans off, will you want your loans paying back if mike parker takes control of the club?
Why should I write them off maybe there is something big on the horizon, like a ground announcement which i have worked on for a long time now. I am hardly going to gift my loans to the club for Parkers benefit am I?

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Where do you both think the Club will be in one and two years time?

Playing wise, League position and financially?

Standard answer about hope of promotion, fans coming back, securing long term funding....

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

If the Club is facing financial meltdown during the next 2 years will you put more funding in to save it?  
What is the limit of your financial provision?

Well Remember Fenty said:
"Mr Parker clearly controls the Club with his shareholding. While this situation continues and control sits outside the board room, I do not suspect anyone will be willing to provide money to meet losses. Would anyone with any sense really expect them to?"

Parker - yep good ones unless anyone can guess ?

Would be interesting to see if Parker makes any comment about GTFC being loss-free.
At the end of the day, he doesn't need to say anything - he can say "I have made my position clear blah blah" so do we need questions that are gonna press him as to WHY he won't say anything and what might be stopping him ?

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

MP:  What qualities do you look for in a new Chairman?  (Besides deep pockets, good judgement and the ability to pick a good manager)?

Fair enough - are you getting at something ?

My idea wasn't really to have a "fans forum", more about stopping the waffle and getting them to resolve the standoff.

This thread is bizarre.

A question and answer session without the two protagonists.

It's not a question and answer session.

It's about thinking of questions for Fenty or Parker (that aren't dodgable) we might be able to send to RH to resolve the standoff.

If you think of any questions, feel free to add.

Q to JF - why don't you want to increase or even match MP shareholding full well knowing you would be the major shareholder is this a way out for you?

Q to MP - what interest do you have in GTFC if your not going to fund the club anymore and don't want to be chairman if your intentions are to help GTFC clearly not, explain?

Q to MP - is the main reason why you left the board because you felt it to be unfair that each directors vote is equal regardless on how much you have invested into the club surely you knew this before committing ?

Q to JF - will GTFC be here next season ?

My question would be "why are you answering questions in one post as if you are JF"?

Like i said,bizarre.

Quoted from Meza

Q to JF - why don't you want to increase or even match MP shareholding full well knowing you would be the major shareholder is this a way out for you?

Fenty said:
"Assuming I acquired the same number of shares which was never discussed, control would still remain outside of the board room. Mr Parker suggested in the interview that I could equate, this does not solve the problem.

Of course, as Fenty admits, it was the case as soon as Parker left the board !

My question to JF would be:
"As control sat outside the boardroom after Mike Parker left, why has it taken 6 months for you to raise the issue ?"

Unsure if it helps or hinders.  

Quoted from Meza

Q to MP - what interest do you have in GTFC if your not going to fund the club anymore and don't want to be chairman

I've been a fan for several years so if I decide to not fund the club anymore I'll still have a keen interest in how they perform and will of course wish them the best of luck.

Quoted from Meza

if your intentions are to help GTFC clearly not, explain?

Sorry Meza, don't understand the end of that one ?
Redo the whole question again if you like ?

Quoted from Meza

Q to MP - is the main reason why you left the board because you felt it to be unfair that each directors vote is equal regardless on how much you have invested into the club surely you knew this before committing ?

I left the board for many reasons (repeat waffle about processes, decision making...)

Good question about directors votes being equal - did he say anything about that before ?
If not, maybe just ask his view on that ?

Quoted from Meza

Q to JF - will GTFC be here next season ?

I would like to think so.
What I have expressed my concern about is the long-term sustainability of the club and any obligation to meet future losses whilst majority shareholding lies outside the boardroom.
If this cannot be sufficently resolved, we clearly need to move towards a position where the club cuts it's cloth whilst remaining as competitive as possible with a view to promotion.

Quoted from ginnywings

My question would be "why are you answering questions in one post as if you are JF"?

Because if I (or others so everyone please feel free to answer too) already know the answers and can answer them, people will probably get exactly the same answer from JF or Parker if/when they try.
So just trying to save people time but if you think my answer is wrong then of course, let me know !

If it was a fans forum we could ask hundreds of different questions but we want more info and REAL answers to get it resolved ?

As I said, if someone asks a question but no-one on here can answer it, then it's probably a good one.

Thanks 80's i'll redo one of the questions and add another.

Q to JF - regardless who is the chairman being an ex chairman surely this would cause a conflict of interest upon decision making if the recent statements and media interviews have anything to go by as in unprofessionalism and lack of mutual respect?

Q to MP - if you appoint someone else to be chairman, will this person have GTFC at heart? And will he run away if things don't go the way he wants?

Q to JF & MP - Itchy & Scratchy would like to sign Green will we be able to permanently add him to the squad and who will pay the additional wage?

To JF - Are there any circumstances that could occur that you would ask for your loans to GTFC to be paid back to you ?
