It might be an unholy alliance but could anyone arrange to get all of the above in one room?


There are enough people to club together to form an alliance but as soon as they vote for a different board, then Fenty calls in his loans.  It all comes back to the loans and why he won't transfer to shares.

Can the Club vote someone in to run the club who isn't a share holder? Someone to do an executive role? Run the clubs day to day bits like a Chairman would?


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I understand that but I hear that there's a potential buyer out there - just don't know how true it is

Because it isn't true?

No potential investor will come forward until the debt is removed.

To be honest I'd be extremely wary of anyone outside the GTFC fanbase coming in.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Looking at the results only a fan would be stupid enough to invest, actually calling putting money into GTFC an investment is a contradiction in terms.

I don't know if it is true either but the said gent was a guest in the boardroom on Saturday!

Could be a coincidence, could you an informal chat or it could be he has no interest whatsoever.

Your only on the board if you say yes.

Look what's ever happened to the people who say no.

Not true doing a quick search and the following have more shares in GTFC than most of the current board but have no say.

Andrew Newman has £25,000 (1%) worth of shares. (dodgy ticket tout?)
The Mullens have £130,000 (6%) shares
The Trust has £320,550 (14%)
Mike Parker has £500,000 (22%)
John Elsom £75,500 (3%)
(Hopefully the above is correct as I had to search through a hundred odd pages of shares!)

For comparison, Fenty has 43%

The board is not made up of investors apart from Fenty and the Trust represented by Wood.



Would investing in GTFC shares be a good investment ? can you get them out whenever you like ? is there likelyhood of the cost of a share increasing ? for example did the share price go up when we was promoted ?

As for picking any old Tom male private or Harry as the next manager you cannot, I think FA and league rules says it must be someone with certain coaching badges, you know the ones Slade uses to be such a tactical genius!!
