Well that’s what you did though wasn’t it, bringing up politics on a football forum? What the hell has that got to do with Fenty and GTFC? Just saying. #UTM


It has everything to due with the club's  current state,for 16 years he has run this club along Tory monetarist lines which reduces the value of everything to the bottom line.He has failed to appreciate that the club is a community asset ,which is a link with past and future generations.Running a football club is not like running a fish merchants,you carry the hopes and aspirations of the community and you never own it you just hold it in Trust.Failure to see that entails  you are off the same block as him.Just replying like.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Fenty's approach to running our club puts me in mind of the saying about someone who understands the cost of everything but the value of nothing.

Step down? On reflection the fornicator should be hounded out of the Town.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

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.


I'm not too fussed....essentially I reckon it's cost him around £4m. If he'd not bought GTFC and instead put his money in the stock market he'd have had around 6 or 7 million now.

We can always introduce a special ticket pricing scheme for former owners. £100k season ticket. 3 year saver  ticket for £200k.

The way I see it is, the less money he gets the more there is available for other things. Whether it's spent on the club or the town. Fcuk, even if the Triumvirate use it to buy a case of vintage wine for Stockwood, a gold watch for Pettit and a piece of modern art for Shutes, I'd be happier.


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.

Let’s hope he’s stepping down from a great height with no safety net


Much as I dislike the man, I'd draw the line at that. I know you might not mean it that way, but if his life is falling apart around him.....

Based on what I've seen of Fentys judgement he'd probably have struggled to break even. He'd have to have invested wisely to have made any money.


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 might be wrong but didn't he get govt. grants to build his fish business and when the grant repayment deadline passed he sold the company.

I's similar to getting £200K's worth of shares and not giving it back.

Then of theirs Mr May who's done his time.

Track record

Enough said
