What was the point in him buying all those shares only to give them away? Is he now nothing to do with the club at all? I'm really confused by all of it.

Mike Parker is still a significant shareholder in GTFC even after gifting the 500,000 shares

But after giving them away the question now looms larger than ever, what is his agenda ?

Until we know otherwise, I think we should just treat it as a gift to the fans and give them a voice.

This!, I think as a fan he's probably upset the majority dont have any say at all within the club, And probably to take some power away from Fenty and the board members already

If the trust accepts the shares and are allowed to do so, what financial guarantees will the new amount of holding shares force on them as a yearly requirement - we are losing money and need financial backing not just fans' voices giving their opinions.

I think he had to give away the extra shares or take the club on which he doesnt fancy doing, I'm not knocking him for that as hes been good enough to help the club whilst its deep in the excrement - same as John Fenty , whatever people think - he's a fan like the rest of us -the only differance between us is I wouldnt have the balls to chuck 2 million into something I knew I wasnt going to get a penny back for.

It's not often I quote the bible but wealth is relative

Luke 20:45-21:4

As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.

"I tell you the truth," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."



The parable means that you spending your last tenner on a ticket to BP or even going overdrawn to buy a Town shirt are actually giving more than Fenty and Parker.


'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
