Rancido, do you mean Fenty's statement or Stew's post?  As I quoted Stew's post I thought it was obvious that that was what I was responding to - his second sentence talks about a minority of fans killing the club.

Ska Faces post is spot on.

Quoted from GrimRob


It's a valid point hypothetically but there's no indication whatsoever that Fenty has any intention of selling the ground, and since he has said he does not expect to get his money back you would imagine in fact the opposite is the case.

If one of us wins the lottery then he might get his money back but it's hard to imagine any other situation where that might be the case.


So why delete it then? If it's not libelous.

Not that I'd expect him to, but if Fenty walked away and left the club to die as a result of being called a few names (the majority well justified) on a message board, then I know who I'd be pointing the finger at, and it certainly wouldn't be anyone on here.

Exactly.

And if it's such a big deal, why even bother reading ? (if he even is right now)

It's a bit ridiculous.

It might help if those in favour of Fenty tried to build bridges or at least, didn't patronize others by denying he's to blame for anything.

All we're seeing is the proverbial split grow wider.
Or is that what the pro-Fenty lobby actually want, just them and no-one else who ever objects to anything ?
Makes you wonder sometimes...

I think its all soniks fault,  

If he kept himself to himself instead of telling brother John about all the name calling, he would have been none the wiser,

As a previous post said, its only a few on here that are really nasty towards Fenty,

So out of 3,000 fans that attend a home game ,10 posters on here is not a great number , is it ?

But surely Fenty could see it for what is is anyway ?
Passion, frustration and possibly misguided beliefs ?
There are many things I could get wound up about if took them seriously, but who does ?

Fenty is very succesfull in all his buisness acheivments,five star, E factor, councilor, this aloan is the gateway to the new stadium all his time effort and energy, he has not failed at anything he has wanted to acheive in his life, it will come good soon if we are all unite and keep the faith, for all the stick he receives he should save his money buy a very big boat and enjoy the spoils of his labour or buy a season ticket at MUFC, not one of us if we are honest would invest the type of money he has and put up with the drivell that the (minority) come up with, if you dont want a football club carry on, there will only be one outcome if this continues, everyone has a limit, this football club would of died years ago if it was not for him, lets just look at previous directors they took money out of the club and run a mile when the sh t hit the fan, not fenty he has put his kids inheritance in and still beleives that fortune will come soon to our wonderfull football club. ps i am iliterate to.

Very well put Stew. Great post. IMHO!  UTM!


Well IMHO FFS stop underlining every pro-bro post you can lay your mitts on. Your brother has managed to steer us from Championship level to four points above relegation from the 5th level of English football. That is an incontrovertible fact.

As I've said before, if your brother comes up with a PLAN to turn the ship around while the tides out, to use his metaphors then I, and many others will give it some credence. But at the moment the silence is deafening, no plan, no results, no enthusiasm. All many fans can see is GTFC going to the dogs.

You don't get it, do you? Those that 'keep the faith' are barely covering the wage bill - with food & programmes an extra 1000 bums on seats could bring in an extra £20,000 per home game, therefore £500,000 (including cup games) per season. Add 2,000 to the gate and you would bring in £1,000,000 per season. It's the people who don't go who need to be brought back - they represent the future financial health (or otherwise) of GTFC.
