Fenty stepping down as Councillor.

I'm tickled pink

Quoted from Southwark Mariner

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.

You what?

Quoted from friskneymariner

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.

It is exactly the same. You employees rely on you for their income. It is far more important than the football club. Without these wealth creators,  no matter how much you disagree with their politics, we would all be worse off.

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

I’d do him a three year saver ticket for £400k.

What a load of codswallop. Employers depend on their employees for their labour. Without labour there is no product or service and without that no profit. All the work done in the fish business needs to be done anyway, at least the end that Fenty was in.

It’s a bit different when someone comes up with an innovative idea that creates something out of nothing and genuinely adds real value. That’s when genuinely new wealth is created - when there is more stuff made or the same for less effort. The rest is just redistribution of money.

Wealth creators, my ars.e!

Quoted from KingstonMariner

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.....

All down to his own hubris, karma does indeed work in mysterious ways.

For me, what he decides to do with the £200k of shares gifted to him by the trust will be the indicator of the nature of the man.

Surely he must donate that back to the club?

The nature of the man was made clear when he pointed out how expensive his car was, implying it was a worse crime that someone scratched it.

Unfortunately you are talking about a man who's morals appear to be lower than a snakes belly..A man prepared to get involved with a fraudster with multiple convictions, bring him into the club, the town and community.
Not a cat in hell's chance will he do the right thing and "gift" those shares back...he'll be tapping his back pocket like an Asda advert as he walks away!..

I believe JSF Sold a "freezing technique" to the Americans for several million which gave him a kitty to invest in 5Star and enable him to expand
