Perhaps trust and in this together stood for something then. That's my guess and not fact!

I am not sure what you are referring to.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the board approved his acquirement of those additional shares ?

They wouldn't have done if they had known MP's true plans. They were stitched up.

You mean this has happened since Parker reportedly sent John an e-mail saying:

"For your planning scenarios you should assume that my financial support will not continue beyond this season." ?

I don't buy it GrimRob, you don't allow another person to become a majority share holder by being stitched up.  MP asks for shares, they discuss it then sign it off.  If they have allowed MP to become a major share holder by either ignorance or naivety then none of them deserve to be in the boardroom.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I wouldn't be so sure with MP holding all the aces folkes.  JF's sweated blood and tears for this club for many years as many know. Although not many on here give him any credit for this. John has always tried to do the right thing as to try make GTFC successful as it can be and for many years to come. Some will say look where we are and laugh but to for sure there are rocky times ahead and massive decisions to be made in the near future.  If John isn't a part of that I really fear for our club long term.  I and others hope this can be resolved behind the scenes but if Mike won't commit one way or the other or say what agenda he has this will all come out in public and maybe not reflect well with regard some of the aces people think Mike has.

UTM!!

  


Not that you are biased of course!

And why the fuk do we want a new chairman in such a hurry anyway? We haven't had a good one since Paddy Hamilton (and he knew something about football unlike the outgoing idiot!)

Perhaps they ought to give the job to one of the other two muppets currently on the board, Honest John (Con) would still have less shares than Parker but I'm sure he could swallow his discomfort with one of the others in the chair. Fenty would be the largest shareholder actually on the board, Parker having childishly decided he doesn't want to return (allegedly) and could continue to run the show (into the ground) as his own personal fiefdom just as he has done for the past 10 years, pressurising the other two yes-men as necessary.

Or is this issue that Parker won't return whilst JF is on the board ?

Easy to say Parker could pressurise the other 2 but what real influence could he have on them ?

Seems to me the problem is:

JF isn't willing to cover the losses by himself.
MP won't return until JF and/or the board have gone ?

sonik, is JF willing to let MP have his own way IF MP makes a guarantee of long term funding ?

Read it again please - Fenty is in a position to pressurise the other two nomarks

Fenty, sitting as an ordinary board member (with one of the other two as chairman) would quite simply be able to have his own way as usual (without being chairman) simply because of a) his shareholding (I have more shares than the other two board members FFS) and b) his stronger personality

The only man able to stand up to him and now out vote him based on shareholding (which is what Fenty is sh!t scared of) is not even on the board

You Fentys have got some nerve I will give you that.

Not a trace of irony in the rubbish you spout.

If John IS a part in our future then God help us.

He has loaned us a lot of money,which he may or may not want back,but has the blood sweat and tears produced ANYTHING of any note?

A new broom needed I am afraid.

On a personal note,I do admire your staunch support for your brother,which is a very admirable trait.

I don't know 80s. I think it'll all come out in the wash so to speak. lol. I and we only hope things will be done to hopefully guarantee the future for GTFC long after we've gone.  UTM!
