Book is out. 6 pages about his time at GTFC. Admits he got it wrong with recruitment during the pandemic and signed 5 strikers without seeing them play. I think that we all sort of guessed that. Also says wanted to re-sign most of the players who left at the end of the curtailed season, but Fenty wouldn't let him and he struggled to get anybody else to come in during the summer.

Blamed the tonking by Tranmere on a staff member who analysed their style of play but got it wrong so we hadn't done anything in training about how to deal with a midfield diamond. Did he moan about this at the time? I have an inkling he might have done.

Not exactly a mea culpa, but at least he's honest that he messed up.

Did he happen to mention why he came here in the first place?

Nope.

I say it has six pages covering GTFC, but it is double-spaced, so more like 3 pages. A couple of short paragraphs saying he'd done well before the season was curtailed, then a bit about how it was impossible to meet Covid regulations because Cheapside only had a small meeting room available and he therefore had to give the same team talk to 3 different groups of players. No mention of darts, however.

I phoned the publisher this afternoon and asked, ‘Has the chapter on Fenty been cut?’

The woman just said, ‘I’ve heard he is’.

If you discount all the victims it’s a victimless crime.

So why not 1 team talk outside ?

It took me 30 seconds after reading that to think of this.
Surely someone at the Club could have thought of it ??


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I'm not sure there was much thinking going on at the time.
