Quoted from Ipswin


Meeting the losses / putting more money in, doesn't it amount to the same thing?

The losses are going to continue to pile up that's for sure unless we get a chairman who can put forward some positive plan for the future that includes cutting our cloth and living within a budget.

Maybe that's the plan for the future and the losses won't pile up but who knows.

To be honest, I've reached the point that I'm almost past caring what happens either way.
But obviously I do care because I'm still supporting Town.

But if Fenty wants the chair then so be it, I don't particularly give a toss about the boardroom politics anymore.

Don't know if he should or not, but by now he must be getting used to sleeping at night & lower stress & blood pressure levels.

No no 1000 times no in fact I wish there was a way he could be defeated in his bid to be re-elected as a director

Even if he does not return as chairman he will, in my opinion, still carry so much weight, even as just a board member, that he will in effect still be making the decisions and we can all see  from both the league and financial position of the club where decisions made when he was chairman have put the club


There is. Mike Parker and the GTST have over 50% between them and could do it.

GTST? Really Golly     Hardly the world's most dynamic call a spade a f*cking shovel organisation, scared shitless of Fenty in my opinion and so totally unused to having any clout that they won't know what the f*ck to do with it now they've got it

I voted yes because I can not think of anybody who wants the job,

For the ones voted no, who do you think would take over ?

As Fenty has said, " since he resigned the club has been up for sale and nobody has shown any interest"

Fenty.  

Thing is, if he resigned because majority shareholding was outside the boardroom, then what will change if he returns ?

Hypothetical question Pete, but if you had a business brain & £10 million burning a hole in your back pocket, would you invest it in GTFC based on the accounts that were released last week?

Goes back to what I've said previously, there is nothing in any planning that gives anybody anything to invest in, whether it be their time, their support, their money or even their enthusiasm.

I think that most owners aren't looking to return a profit from the ''business'' for themselves, I'd imagine that an owner of the club would strive to make the club self-sufficient. I'd have thought most of the people that invest in lower league are fans as well as being rich.

It's a no brainer. Of course he should. There is no knight is shining armour who will rescue us, nice as it would be to have some fresh ideas.

.


I do not have a bussiness brain,

BUT

If I won £10million ,I would just sit on it and live off the interest.

I would have an executive box at the Park though.
