You can just turn them off in the member centre & you won’t have to worry about them consuming your life.

You can say something like “I’m glad Fenty’s car got scratched, it’s a shame it wasn’t tipped over & set on fire” without having to worry about any little red crosses.


Not the least bit worried about red crosses but am curious to what distorted individuals could still support him and their logic.


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.

Quoted from realist


Your reply puzzles me. Surely by starting up and running 5 star fish he generated a reasonable amount of wealth. By doing so he generated employment for a few hundred workers who would have been on benefits if not for their jobs. They spend money and the wider economy benefits. So you would sooner have a football club at the expense of greater unemployment and poverty? Try telling those affected what your priorities are and report back.



I seem to recall that Bluecrest (ladysmith rd.))lost a lot of business and employees once 5* opened up. It was suggested that their was a connection with the senior managers of Bluecrest moving to 5* and taking their contacts with them. They would of course know the contract prices Bluecrest were charging and under cut Bluecrest thus gaining orders for 5*

This would mean a transfer of jobs and not additional jobs.

In your post you also fail to mention the fact that 5* had received govt. grants. In other words money we paid in tax's.

At the end of the day JF had a nice little earner for little input of capital and risk. He did not create additional wealth in the town as you suggest and merely changed the job locations. Of course my suggestions may not be true so if anyone comes up with hard facts to the contrary I will gladly apologise.

Could they be sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

Quoted from KingstonMariner


The demand for the fish he sold was there any way. If not him, it would have been another business selling it. He wasn’t creating any work in a real sense. He just owned a business that got there before the others. Those jobs would exists within another business if not 5 Star Fish.

But without the workers no such business would make any money.


Business only works if it has the staff to do the job.

Staff can only earn a living if a business employs them.

So they need each other a good business will look after their staff realizing what an assert they are.

John will be a massive loss to the council. He has done a tremendous job.

Well done John on a great role that you’ve fulfilled, and enjoy the time you have to now spend with your lovely family.

Thank you too for everything you’ve done in supporting Grimsby Town FC financially. You won’t get many thanks in this place, but you certainly have my gratitude for getting the club I love financially stable and keeping it that way

👏👏👏

Not to mention taking the club back to non league by appointing a succession of disastrous managers ,but hey ho the club is in the black so he has been a great success.Seriously this is the mark of the mentality of people who support him,the club is financially stable and that is  defined as success.

Like it has in its entire history, the football on the pitch and the relative football success and failure, will fluctuate and vary. Nothing will ever change that. There will always be ups and downs and that is just sport.

But you don’t get any of those sporting ups and downs if there isn’t financial stability on the table.

If people only ever expect forward momentum and success, then sadly they shouldn’t be pinning their hopes on a sport.

Not to mention the £200K in free shares you've got from the supporters, which I'm sure given the responsible moral upstanding man you are will be returned to the supporters. On the other hand you could be holding onto them, profiteering out of good fans and proving how the vile comments about on this site may be true.
