But we were told he’d done nothing wrong?

I'm genuinely surprised that he's stepping down. In his ward he must have stood a decent chance of being re elected on the basis that a chimp with a blue rosette would get elected round there (and has been).


Ha Ha! I got a red cross. Good morning John.

Well that’s good news for the people of NE Lincs. The further he is from any levers of power the better.

It still rankles that he’s walking away from the club that he’s ruined, not only With every penny he spent, but in pocket to the tune of £200,000. He doesn’t give a fig for this football club, he only cares for only what he can get out of it.


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.

Not everyone in his ward will be unhappy or wanting to be painted with the same brush so relief will be the primary reaction. Reading his words I think he has been under great pressure to do this since the May scandal broke and it was just a matter of timing. My guess is he could move out of NEL. It will be no great loss.

I think that was from the chimp.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

I got 2 as well for merely stating a fact there are some very warped people on here.

Quoted from RichMariner
The less influence that man has on our club, and the wider community, the better.

He's been exposed for what he is.

Sadly he's pocketing circa £2.5m and able to retire to live a quiet life, but the one thing he'll never be able to escape is the legacy he's left behind at GTFC.

No one will think of him fondly, and no one outside his family will have a good word to say about him. And no amount of money can buy back respect.

Hopefully we never see him or hear his name uttered ever again.


In whatever corner of the globe there are Grimbarians his name will be forever accursed.

Does that mean the Golden Palm tree is a dead duck as well.
