Fenty stepping down as Councillor.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

The supporters wanted to be a part of the promotion push, and their fund raising was terrific. As a club we could not deny supporters wishes to do what they wanted. It was an amazing gesture and wholly appreciated. It was galvanising, and demonstrable of just how together the fan base was with the board and the entire club, in a collective desire to push for promotion. It was everything that Grimsby supporters are, just amazing supporters.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

You lot have just no idea.
You think that what John has done is merely accountable on a pitch.
You also think that the published accounts are the only story teller. They don’t tell the half about the things he did out of his own pocket outside of published management accounts. The things he’s paid for personally, both for the club, and for people who work at the club.

There’s a former player that still lives in Grimsby, who actually is still involved in football. Go seek him out and listen to how highly he praises John for personally paying for private medical treatment he needed, out of his own pocket. Not the one and only time he did this either.

At every twist and turn, John has been there for the club, and for those employed there, and there have been many times when this has been at his own cost, out of his own personal funds, for no other reason than being a caring person, a generous person, and a good person.

When it’s all over, I have absolutely no doubt that there will be lots of stories that come out in tribute to just what a great man John has been for this club. Things John would not have wanted to be known at the time. Because he doesn’t  seek adulation or plaudits. He does what he does for genuinely nice reasons. Mark my words, when it’s over, when he’s free from all of his ties, there will be people ready to tell stories that can no longer embarrass him about his generosity because he’s no longer a part of the club. Stories of truth that will raise a lot of eye brows and leave many keyboard warriors with egg on their face

But none of that matters to most, who are shameless in blindly following the black and white stripes, with absolutely no gratitude whatsoever to the man that ensured that the black and white stripes survived.

Have to say it's hilarious reading  some of this. Old Fillipe casts out a massive juicy worm and the fish go into a feeding frenzy. He'll be sitting at home making the next one up as we speak, all increasingly ridiculous and it works every time
Just ignore him people, and he'll go away

Quoted from diehardmariner

Unfortunately I couldn't find a video of his cringeworthy 'what about the orange' exploits after the Spurs win, or getting carried off the pitch like an all conquering hero in 2008/09 when we avoided relegation only because other teams had large point deductions.

Definitely not about him though.

Quoted from DB

Nice statement, so can you answer the questions I raised. Can you also advise the fans, as the club did not want  to deny supporters wishes and what they wanted, why the club did not maintain the push in league 2 and why the new stadium was never built in these 16 years. You are using the 'We' term so you are obviously on the inside as opposed to looking in from the outside.

Quoted from DB

I'm still waiting for an answer Fillipe.

Worry not, they’re in my dossier.





Here he is, front & centre in his cream jumper, at Trafalgar Square getting some promo shots -






There’s also video of him steaming into the middle of Omar Bogle’s interview after the PO Final, jumping around like an anus on live TV. Couldn’t find that one though.
