Once again I ask the same question,

If Fenty goes," Who will put any money into the club ?  "

John must stay and instead of all the name calling, we should all try and pull in the same direction.

Quoted from BlackBoots


If Fenty is voted off then who will fund the losses for the remainder of this season (£400k or thereabouts?)



I thought Fenty had agreed to fund the projected losses for this season 50/50 with Mike Parker, with Mike Parker having funded his 50% in the form of shares which effectively caused this spat to begin with?

Are you implying that unless Fenty is in a position of authority he will go back on his word?

Quoted from sonik


He will address the AGM in the normal way I suspect. I would think that major share holders would've asked these qeustions before the date anyway and know what the immediate future holds. As a shareholder yourself try attend if you can and make your vote count.


sonic do you think your brother gives a f---, after all the sh-t he has been getting, or is his heart still with us.

If hes voted off you dont see a way forward?

You really do think a whole lot of yourselves down there in Fentyland.

We managed perfectly well for 130 odd years and we will manage perfectly well after the worst chairman we have ever had finally calls it a day.


Oh dear! careful now you may just get what you wish for

Pete,

There's only a deficit if we continue this policy of spending more money than we earn.

Reading some posts on here it's like without him we don't generate any income which is a complete fallacy, and our greatest expense is somewhat within our control - wages.

We need to learn to cut our cloth accordingly.

The Fenty manifesto re being re-appointed appears to be "without him we don't have a club" which is a complete fallacy.

He should be coming out and telling people what the way forward is ie how the club will be run financially, how much longer he is willing to fund losses (created by his own insistence on spending way in excess of our revenue), and how he intends to take the club forward.

Please tell us all Mick how we will 'manage perfectly well'? Are you prepared/able to fund the club by paying the players wages for the next 7 months or so?


he couldnt run or fund the local sunday league

Are you sure about that?

Is that libellous?

This is exactly the right philosophy. Cut costs where possible, create a structured business with a solid achievable business plan, give the fans something to buy into and create a positive force for good rather than continue to perpetrate the negative malaise that currently prevails.

Some good results, stability and a structure to take the club forward is what is needed rather than 'let's have John back cos no-one else can fund us'. Because even John can't fund us forever.

and you lot of fenty haters will be the same lot screaming when we have to go part time, when we have another season of no hope or battle against relegation, the same lot who'll moaning about how we've lost john smith to tamworth coz they're full time or why jimmy evans prefers to go to boston rather than us coz they pay better wages. then who will you be blaming?

Fenty,because he is the one who has brought the club to its knees with a series of ridiculous decisions,and a lack of any sort of business plan.

What on earth makes you think we wont go down the road you described WITH Fenty in charge?
