I genuinely believe that Fenty saved the club from going under in his early years - when the tax bill hit and HMRC refused our suggested repayment schedule he (and the board) pulled us back from the brink. I think we were very close to going under at that point. And as a result I was prepared to give him a lot of slack.

But he lost my faith as we so obviously stagnated as a football team, as we had a succession of poor managerial appointments, as we made decisions off the field that were just ludicrous and as he stomped around like a little tin pot dictator in a 'stadium' crumbling in front of us.

A little thing always rang alarm bells for me - how nobody could even correct his garbled syntax, awful spelling and very poor grammar when the club published his rants. He was either so self obsessed or everyone was so scared of him that public communication made him look as thick as pig sh*t and nobody would point it out to him.

I believe that this is the club's lowest point and we can only go forward from here.

Up The Mighty, Mighty Mariners.

Part one didn't get pulled,

and so far Part two is still on the net.

The only conclusion is that both parts are the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I assume part three will follow suit.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

He can waste some more cash if he wants...let’s face it, he’s clearly wasted thousands of cash chasing his non existent vanity projects...

Nothing in that well written article is fictional nor incorrect. Almost all of it is out there in public domain...

If I were him, I’d be thanking my lucky stars that I’d left with more than a £1 coin in my pocket.

He didn’t waste a penny of his own money on the club. In fact he left with a £200,000 profit.


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.

I thought JF could have made a gesture and said "sorry, I fooked up, here's the £200,000 I was gifted. Put it toward a promotion fight next season".

Guess not.

That would take the humility and self-awareness to realise you'd done a bad job. John has neither of those qualities. Frankly, it's difficult to see what positive qualities he has as an individual.

Aside from hangers on and parasites the only person that I could imagine thinking he has positive qualities is his mother...anyone know if he gets on with her?
