It is so disheartening to read all of this. I haven't the deep knowledge that most of the members have on this Board but it is still the club I follow.
It beggars belief all the politics and you wonder why people wish to invest in the club. Do they truly have the club at heart? Ot is it about themselves?
I genuinely thought we had turned the corner when Olllie first arrived and we at last started to pick up regular points. I thought the arrest of the long slide (since we were relegated from the Championship) was at last over.
I hope he does not go, but it must be wearing him down with trying to manage the team with all this political stuff going on.
It's an ongoing nightmare and very sad. I wonder what it would cost for the fans to buy the club?
hampshire, have a look at the backgrounds of the gang of 3. Have a look at their achievements, their twitter feeds and videos etc. Have a read of the articles they've written or had written about them and then contrast with what you know and have experienced of JSF |

Unexpectedly (from me anyway) the club's social media accounts have now posted graphics of or links to Holloways statement.

He was determined and resolute when he came here and took a shite side into one that was a joy to watch at times.
He then got absolutely shafted by our incompetent board who failed to retain any of our players and set the club up with a plan that was probably titled 'Don't be last'. I've no doubt Ollie has made some howlers but I've also no doubt that he's had his hands tied behind his back for the majority.
The fact remains that he has spent almost the entire wage cap on the players we have in the squad. No board could have given him more money because that's the upper limit and if a new board comes in they'll have the same constraint. I am no fan of the board we have but most of the day to day decisions are made by the manager not the board. Ideally we get a new board and a new manager. Yes we played some nice stuff last season when we were in a mid-table position and had nothing to lose, but that's irrelevant now we're in a relegation battle now and can't afford that luxury. |

For me, this is the last nail in John Fenty's coffin when associated with GTFC. Nothing will happen regarding Holloway leaving his job, the board wouldn't want the uproar of him being sacked for expressing his, and the majority of fans opinion!

Holloway's knackered if the new owners expect loyalty

Well we did tell him he does not know Fenty like we do.
He does now it seems.
For Ollies sake I hope this deal goes through (for all our sakes ) because Fenty will choose a time of his choosing and give Ollie the sack even if results pick up and we are mid table.
Come on gang of three push this deal through the fans are behind you .
Apart from the Fenty lovers but there are not many of them.

It's a fantastic, well thought out statement from Ollie which gets the fans right on board (it does me anyway).
He doesn't need telling that it's not been good enough and unlike others before him, he openly admits it instead of hiding behind it.
He's sided with the fans here and for me this only ends one way for John Fenty. Ollie knows that Fenty can't sack him for this and Fenty has been outed once again. The fact Ollie said he could sling mud but doesn't want to, suggests there is mud to be slung right in JSF's face.
I mentioned previously, it's an absolute mess at the minute but it's weirdly enjoyable to watch because it's resulting in Fenty's demise.
I think JF already has previous of removing "employees" who dont tow the party line hasnt he ? Was it the SLO or Mighty that got it for being too "fan focussed instead of being club focussed" ? |

Fan focused? Not sure that phrase has ever existed in JF world. |
