Has had his say on the potential restructuring of the football leagues today.

He's said he wants a league with Premier League B teams involved.

Having chatted to him at Braintree and seeing his sheer love and enthusiasm both there and at Wembley I had completely changed my opinion of him but oh dear here he goes again

Please John engage your brain before opening your gob or better still keep quiet on GTFC and save your stupid comments for the Council chamber, I am now convinced you are a diamond bloke but your public statements are woeful.

Not the first time I've thought he should stick to business because when it comes to football he's quite clearly clueless

Yep, he's straight up wrong on this one. A Trust poll or vote would overwhelmingly reject B-teams.

I actually think introducing B teams could lead to a huge loss of income as I suspect many people would actively boycott B team matches (I would). I also think the reputational damage to the league would be massive and crowds would suffer.  A competitive league with all clubs and fans dreaming of glory makes for a great tournament. If it became a practice ground for the elite teams kids then many people would lose interest.

He also suggested regionalised leagues, so rather than playing games in London in front of our superb exiled supporters, we'd have potential fixtures against Stoke and Burnley reserves to look forward to instead. EXCELLENT IDEAS JOHN, GREAT JOB

What a flipping idiot

I just hope and pray that when the clubs vote they take the feelings of their fans into account and don't just let their (non) chairmen make the decision based on (ill-founded) hopes of increased income.

This latest statement outlines everything that is wrong with the club at ownership level. His investment in the club stands at say £2-3 million. Over the time since his investment, our fans have put in way more than ten times that in ticket sales etc. Yet why is one man having it all his own way and coming out with statements like that on behalf of the club when I would guess 99% of its fans are against it. As the seasons go on Fenty's initial investment now looks small if divided by the seasons he's been in control of the club. If Fenty does not go out there and secure further investors that are willing to put in the £20m or so to get our club on a more competitive and sounder footing through building a new stadium, season by season, it will look more and more like every football fan's wet dream of running their own club on the cheap. £2-3m input over much more than a decade is peanuts when it comes to investment in a Football League club. Outside investment ASAP and more consultations with the fans please Mr Fenty..
