I doubt if it's the £250K that is the reason for Lincolns upturn, obviously it would have helped but I'd put it down to having a very good young up and coming management team in the Cowley brothers.
Surely that is the whole point I was making? He didn't invest much but I'm reliably informed that he was a leading factor in them chasing the Cowleys because he's clearly got a decent brain and knows how to run a club. You don't need to invest millions if you appoint the right manager and don't have to pay off countless shite players that you've handed out two year contracts to. |

Seriously can someone explain to me how we are better off now than under Bignot.

Although he had to sack 3 people to appoint him. |

It doesn't look like we are. |

Hence why I didn't call them benign. If he truly didn't want it hanging over the club like a bad smell, essentially giving him control because anyone knows they would either have to pay him off or let him have his way each time, then he'd write them off. The fact he hasn't speaks volumes.
Exactly - but to re-iterate what's been said before, no-one with £3 million plus what they're willing to invest is making a beeline to sunny Cleethorpes to invest in a football club with so little going for it. GTFC is in my blood and it's dying on its' bottom in front of my eyes. |

If Fenty truly cared about the club he would make it publically known that at no point does he want his loans paying back, he'd write them off. By now most of that must be from his own shite decisions anyway so how he can reasonably expect to get it back is beyond me.

We're not but at least we tried. It made sense to give someone a few weeks and a whole transfer window. If an inexperienced manager doesn't work we normally go for experience in the next appointment. As neither has now worked and both are fresh in the memory, I expect JF will go for a third option, maybe a player-manager, or someone from abroad. |

It is the first time in a while were I've genuinely retained very little expectation of getting a result going into games. Even under bignot I had the sense we could maybe pull something out the bag. I think the issue Is, slade hasn't evolved as a manager. He's still trying methods that worked for him a decade ago, and judging by his most recent appointments, there's little chance of that changing.

So, because you had your much publicised meeting with JF, that enables you to take the moral high ground. Well let's take a look at the facts, Devon, flasks, flags, Radio Humberside, The Cleethorpes Chronicle, sacking countless managers that you've mistakenly appointed etc etc. Despite various attempts at a new stadium nothing happens and we, once again, are looking down towards the National League rather than up at League 1. We've spent most of the summer signing dross for a manager that has zero promotions to his name. Oh yes, the Fenty era has been a roaring success, hasn't it?
Moral high ground? Not at all. I would just like to know what the fook moaning about it on here will achieve. Like me, you were also invited to go see JF and you declined, so don't come over all keyboard warrior on me. I'm as unhappy as the next fan, but unlike some, i accept there's not a right lot i can do about it, save stop going to games and what will that achieve? And no, the cap does not fit as i am far from happy. |

Moaning on here will probably achieve eff all. Just the same as having an appointment with the self-appointed saviour of GTFC, It's not about being 'all keyboard warrior' - this is the future of our football club that's at stake - I'm not willing to be patronised by the man whose 'benign' loans hang over the club like the Sword of Damocles even if you are. |
