This whole episode just sums up the un professional running of GTFC under the Fenty regime. Utter amateurs till the end. Business men? Everyone associated with the club, at this time, should be ashamed of themselves. Whatever the future brings it can’t be worse than this shower of shite.

Well the vision didn’t work for any of you more a case of the blind leading the blind without a guide dog. But the good news appears to be Fenty is selling up so the big question will be, as I said on another thread, who will be making the new appointment and when will they be in a position to do so?

Hopefully it is the last Fenty statement as it's pretty much a full house for bullshit bingo - we were going to.... not my fault......unlucky..... only here because he wanted to work with me.
I cannot wait until I never have to read another of these amateurish, petulant word vomits dressed up as an official club statement.

I think there is only one answer to this, the new owners, it's very possible that they have already got a new manager ready to take over.

The lack of humility is, or should be, astounding. You were caught 11 days ago with a career criminal who was on the verge of becoming our largest shareholder. So shut the intercourse up, sell your shares to people who at least seem to be competent at running businesses amd intercourse off.

All we need now is a statement from fenty via day stating he isn't selling his shares and that the clubs not for sale just to make 2020 even more unbearable. I literally hate GTFC as a club at the moment, we are in a bigger pickle than a Haywards factory.

I like the bit.. "it's been a difficult year."
It's been a difficult twenty years you ignorant fookers. We struggle at the bottom end of League Two or even lower every season with JF in charge whether Covid's here or not,, and you had the benefit this season of a salary capped level playing field which you were so much in favour of and now hinders the incoming owners of any progress on the pitch..
Useless arrogant idiots..

Ollie has gone because he had an agreement to take over from Fenty as the major share holder as I said in a previous post (s ).
So much for being here for the fans anyway best of luck in what you do next Ollie.
I wish I could say you have turned out great club around but I can't you have left us in a bigger mess.
The next appointment has got to be the right man for us..

Did Hollaway know that Fenty was selling his shares to someone else, when he said he wouldn't be investing in the club?
Who are these "new" owners anyway?

i suspect so, but i also think the 'outing' and abandonment of the dodgy May deal was the main reason The Holy Trinty are Stockwood/Shutes & Pettit

In my opinion, his rhetoric over the past few weeks was he was looking for a way out and it comes as no surprise to me.
Am I disappointed he has gone, not really, I tend not to join in with the "we've got a great manager here" discussions on here when one arrives, as in recent years it usually goes mammaries up. I appreciate we have had a problem with the player Budget and Covid clauses but who decided on which players we would sign as we have signed some crap and apart from a very few games the football has been pretty dreadful as well as the pissing about with team changes.
I don't know who has written the Club statement :-
The board and Ollie had a joint vision, first to improve the league position, secondly to deliver top class training facilities and finally by relocation to a new community stadium.
Did that joint vision include accepting that criminal May's money and how much did Holloway know about May?
If he knew about May's past then he can intercourse off with the rest of them.

Do the new owners have the finances to take us forward? From what we can gather they so far don't seem to have the money for what is needed. They seem to have less money than Fenty. It's one thing to be rid of Fenty, but are we replacing him with more of the same because of a lack of money?

Isn’t Shutes selling his house for more than Fenty sold his business? Anyway it’s not just about the money it’s about the decision making, the ethos of the club and using the revenue that does come into the club sensibly and not having a penny pinching approach. Been said many times that the club is self financed by the fans and other income and no other investment has been forthcoming for quite some time so I’m sure any new owners can improve upon that!!!!

"From what we gather" Please do enlighten us to their available finances, what is it that you know? You always seem to come on here and support the Fenty regime, are you in that clan?

I am just hoping that JF will sell the club quickly and fairly. At the moment I have a sinking feeling he is going to take as much as he can lay his hands on and leave the club looking like a house vacated by squatters as his parting gift to the supporters.

What another contemptuous statement. urine off John, it isn’t our fault you don’t have a clue what you are doing and that the nice little re development plans have fallen flat on their face.
Year after year we put our hard earned money in. Season tickets, iFollow, shirts, shares and even crowdfunders to help this club. I tell you one thing the amount I and others contribute in relation and as a percentage of our income is miles ahead of you, I can’t count the number of times my Mrs has kicked off as I’ve bought or contributed to something else GTFC related.
Keep the “saviour” routine and don’t darken our door again.

I wonder if Shutes, Stockwood and Pettit will buy 20% each. Parker holds about 20% and Fenty holds 40%.
Neither buy the magic 30% that means they have to make an offer for all of the shares and 60% of the shares are in the boardroom plus the Trust assuming they remain on the board. They have just under 15% so 75% of the shares would be in the boardroom.
