Well I'm glad you're OK with watching excrement football in a excrement ground, a team with a Dad's Army defence and zero goal threat. That's before we start on the way the fans have been treated....wasn't it you who started the thread about relegation?


I never suggested I am happy with any of those things, but the smooth running of the club (a completely unrelated matter) is paramount.

The 'smooth running' of the club is surely irrelevant if the product's crap?

If a business person came in with any business savvy the first thing they would do is ensure the club ran smoothly with most of the people who are presently employed in those areas. It isn't that side of the Company that needs changing. The clubs needs fresh impetus in the boardroom and in the managing of the football team.

Seriously, if he just walked out tomorrow, do you think there would be a smooth transition? It's been so long since anyone else has run the club is there anyone who knows what to do if he just walked out the door? If he's going to go, I'd like to see an orderly transition with some sort of timetable and exit date.

Many have posted Fentys long history of his time in charge. Let’s face it, it’s diabolical. If it was any other business (other than a football club), it would have folded by now. Shareholders would have seen off the chairman. It cannot be right that one man can have such an atrocious CV during his time in charge and still remain in that position. It just wouldn’t happen in any other area apart from a dictatorshop. Change is never easy and many will shy away from promoting it at any cost. But change is what  is required and the sooner the better.

......and thanking or giving Fenty some slack for his loans. No, what has it really done for the club. Has everyone been enjoying the product on offer since his tenure began?

Where do I stand on JF? Quite simply if he still wants to be a "big" figure at the club start thinking "big" not just with the stadium project but also with manager and player recruitment, fan engagement, PR, schemes to boost attendances etc... etc... then maybe his supposed search for more investment may just make us a half decent proposition to invest in.

Seems to me the problem is that JF is not only conservative in his politics he's also the same in his approach to running GTFC. Stick around by all means but earn the fuckin right to have the role you have.

That good OneLove, I had them down for Arthur Mullard & Hylda Baker You're The 1 That I Want, which is quite fitting as Fenty wanted Slade, Slade is the one wearing the black wig.

Whatever people’s opinion on JF he’s not going anywhere. The best we can hope for is that he comes to his senses and gets rid of Russell Slade. I’ll take that as a starter for ten.
