no, don't think so. i think it'll be a clean slate and people will be given a chance to shine. remember many of the employees have been there for years and have been dragged down by Fenty's regime. New bosses, anew approach, a new era, more investment, more professionalism will hopefully lead to many of them regaining their mojo. A happy workforce is going to be so much more productive.It's something Stockwood firmly believes in (have a look at his Twitter account)


Apologies, I didn't make myself clear. I was referring to the comment that you copied that suggested "unfair dismissals" but making someone redundant would be unlikely to be classed as unfair dismissal.

Don’t understand what influence Fenty could possibly have by retaining the shares? Surely the new board members, assuming the three wise man take up positions on the board, could vote to remove him as a director, or would just vote him down whenever required?

He’d be left holding £200k of worthless shares with zero influence at all?

Plus I’m sure the previous statements confirmed an offer was accepted for his full shareholding?

Yeah, he might be admin on a GTFC Facebook page but it doesn’t sound like he knows much about employment law.

You can't make somebody redundant and then hire somebody else to do that role.

As for Mike Taylor, just sounds like an attention seeking gobshite. Why would Fenty keep any shares? They're worthless.

That’s my understanding but if he was left with share why would they be worthless? If we made the move to a new ground where we could secure greater income I’d suggest they’d have some value.

as i said its because he's an obnoxious individual who can't accept he's beaten. He will be there as a potentially malign influence.in fact i wouldn't mind betting, given his ego, that he wants to retain them so he could organise a Second Coming should the Triumverate feck up

We're not a real PLC though. They're only worth what somebody will pay, and nobody needs them to gain control. The only way he makes money is if somebody buys the club for a stupid amount and has to offer the same amount to every shareholder. Which can be done without having to make that offer

Exactly what I meant I just thought I wouldn’t do it an a way that makes out a poster is stupid.

Not all purchasers of shares want control BTW.

Of course they’re not going to turn up and start just sacking people.

Firstly that’s just unfair,  and from everything I hear and see of them they look to know their stuff. I’m sure they’ll come in and treat it as a clean slate and give everyone a fair chance - which is only right.

Staff behaviour follows the leadership it is shown. That leadership has come from John Fenty for 16 years..... I’ll leave you to work out if that’s a good example to have at the top, or not.

I wouldn't mind John Fenty still being a shareholder.

All I care about is that he has absolutely zero influence and authority. And zero say on how the club is run and the decisions taken at board level.

I also like Phillip Day to have zero influence and authority and zero zero say on how the club is run and the decisions taken at board level
