Philip Day has indicated ........"the money will be used on outgoings at a time when club income is down by 50%" ......so could be wages, could be the leccy bill, it will just be used as cash income and spent on whatever bill goes red first i guess.

And with that money we bought Bogle who’s 2 goals got us back in the football league. Sorry you’re talking rubbish.
We know that but apparently according to Mr Marley it didn’t happen like that. If you were there at that infamous forum, or watched/listened to it on-line you would know what he said. Our esteemed former non-non-Chairman didn’t take the opportunity to correct him.

Then why was John Fenty at the OP party at McMenemy’s thanking everyone then?
Because he was basking in the reflected glory

I would find it hard to donate with the present regime. If the club folds and if people want to resurrect it, it will be reborn.
I thought the whole arm-twisting situation when the Trust gave him those shares was wrong. I was happy to chip in with Op Promotion in the interest of letting bygones be bygones, trying to be positive about the future and look at what happened.
You make the decisions John. It’s your toy.

No. It was stated at the fans forum Nov 2017, by the top table (Mr Marley i think) that Omar had already been scouted and identified & budgeted for when the season budget was set and the O.P monies therefore werent needed for that and went elsewhere in the running costs.

You make the decisions John. It’s your toy.
They’ll be banishing you next for being negative and a doom merchant...ignoring that what you say is an opinion you’re entitled too, or often a fact...we all have to be happy clappers. Interesting that yesterday I spoke with several town fans, some in a position of financial difficulty to some extent, a couple furloughed and some who’s economic situation hasn’t changed...(not) surprisingly, the ones who had donated were the ones who were currently in a economic/financial pressure state. Caught me by surprise to some extent. What’s the phrase? Love is blind? It’s just very odd that if someone criticised, raises questions or has a different view they’re a doom merchant. I was there that night Marley asked people ‘do you know who I am?’...when fans were told to shut up and the wheels literally came on and it was hard to watch. Far harder than seeing us lose 8-1 at Barnet or even Burton if I’m honest...many a fan lost their faith in the club, the board and things associated with them. Few football fans stop going to watch their team, but many adapt different approaches. Some stop going to away games, others buy less in the club shop, some don’t really engage other than turning up at 14:58 on a Saturday and then leave...others continued as ever. Nobody denies we love GTFC but sometimes it’s hard to like them.

I was there too. The guy Marley was a complete member and an idiot. The whole ambushing of Matt Dean was an embarrassing episode for anyone connected with the club. To me if Fenty controls the club then he is the one responsible for its survival. He twisted the Trust’s arms to get those shares. It’s a situation he wanted. Anyone giving money now is just giving him money in effect. At the end of it he still calls the shots. We don’t know how long this situation is going to go on for. It might be a bottomless pit. I’d rather keep my hand in my pocket and wait to see what happens. If this were a bid by the Trust to take control of the club I’d think differently.
