Based on the last 16 years, I’d doubt that it could have been much worse.
Well how about like Stockport, Gateshead, Darlington Chesterfield, York,. They are definitely thriving after going through a hard time.

The trick was to go into administration before they changed the rules.

Thing is Fenty is in a type of a lottery situation, he wants his " benign " loans back so hangs in there hoping for football fortune, but by staying he could be in a position where he has to bail out the club even further, hence increasing his loan, whereas if he walked out today and wrote off the loans he accepts his losses. In some ways a tough decision to make.

Clubs who have been at the foot of the football league for generations, how can you lump us in with those.

Gateshead FFS, you're using them as a comparison? Bundle of hopeful joy you are.. Other clubs that have been in administration Charlton Middlesbrough Tranmere Newport Walsall Northampton Exeter Gillingham Doncaster Millwall Bournemouth Crystal Palace Portsmouth Hull QPR Bradford Notts County Barnsley Leicester Port Vale Derby Ipswich Wimbledon Cambridge Rotherham Southampton Plymouth Coventry But as usual, you're always using the fear factor quoting the most unsuccessful clubs and worst case scenarios, rather than, god forbid, anything positive for GTFC to compare against or aspire to..

For all Fentys mistakes he’s kept our pride . He’s run Gtfc like clubs at our level should be run . It’s ok saying football clubs aren’t like normal businesses but at our level they are . If they’re not run sustainably they’ll go bust and no one outside Lincolnshire cares if we go . Just ask Bolton . A much bigger club who are looking over the abyss after years of mis management

It’s not even that. He isn’t some passive, powerless investor hoping for a slice of luck one day - he runs the illegitimate club! If he wants to get his money back he should start running the business better and generate some money that isn’t dependent on us digging up another Omar Bogle or Ryan Bennet. He has the power to make a change but not the will.

I’m not sure administration is aspirational 😉
