Surprizing results so far imo.

Although the fishy doesn't represent the whole fan base its seems they are voting for his money rather than fenty himself, is that wrong ?

Or just the world we live in nowadays?

Of course. His money is the be all and end all. If he stops being Chairman and stops meeting our losses then in all probability GTFC will cease to exist.

Like him or loathe him he is currently the only person standing between GTFC and liquidation.

My preference would be that he buys the club (just for the sake of securing it's future) but then takes a hands off role and appoints a board of hard headed business people who won't make ridiculous decisions or embarrasing press releases.

He meets the losses because he has run the club at a huge loss. The club would be healthier on and off the pitch if we lived within our means.

And all these "there is nobody else out there" merchants are basing this on? How do you know this to be true?

I agree, no one in there right mind would get involved now- £2.6m in debt and having to buy £900,000+ in shares to become majority owner. £3.5m to buy a club and clear the debt and that's before further losses already accrued this season and further losses whilst the new man gets the business in order are taken into account.

The club will be healthier if Fenty cancelled his debt and removed the threat that it poses to Blundell Park. Fenty's reign was disaster after disaster and brought shame to the name of a once respected club. You want him to be free to continue his work? You are all mad.

The alternative might well be administration and demotion (worst case liquidation and a phoenix club starting at Tier Eight- Northern Premier Division One South), but where are we heading at the moment? Grimsby Town has massive potential and a few years in the wilderness before re-emerging stronger and fitter as a club and business could well be better than the path we are heading down.

Fenty has had his chance at looking after the club and he has failed, it's time for him to sodomist off and leave the club.

Yes, I never wanted him to leave, but why would he want to when so many people constantly slate him? If it wasn't for him we'd have been well gone long ago!

But wouldn't that be just more of the same - folk might not realise Fenty had gone

I feel the same and have never changed my tune, better the devil you know than others you don`t, those who threw their garlands at Mike Parker would I assume be a little disapointed now

Quoted from BIGChris
If you dont want JF to back the club financially can you please come up with a viable alternative?

I would love somebody, or a group of people, to come forward who are willing to back the club financially. I am just not aware of anyone with the level of money required.


Grimsby Pete has got millions

I voted yes though, because I never had anything against him being here to begin with.
