Quoted from Ipswin


Purely and simply because of (current) success on the pitch.

In that regard Fenty can only affect things in two ways

1 A change of manager (will cost money)
2 New better players (will cost money)

He has to increase his 'benign' debt by making even more loans - vicious circle innit?



And success on the pitch comes from good decisions in the boardroom not just investment. We would also have had the second lowest attendance in League One yesterday for those who think that is still our rightful place in the pyramid.

Alternative is print it off and send it registered post. I feel what you have put down is fantastic and it gives Fenty a credible way of leaving without things getting worse. How soon could your plan be implemented?


To be fair as long as everyone agrees then you just need a good corporate lawyer an accountant do some sensible 5 year projections and then a bucket load of due diligence on all involved. You would need to set up a new company but that could potentially still own or be owned by GTFC in real terms. It’s not illegal or dodgy many business’s do it all the time.

As the A share directors get a salary and distributions it’s more tax efficient too. The only stumbling block is the you would have to have a board meeting followed by an EGM to get majority agreement.

For the record I appreciate people's views /feeling the need to protest and also believe we need a change of management and fresh faces added to the board.
What I can't get my head round is the level of abuse aimed at JF both on here and in public which hit a new low with him being taped on the sly whilst giving his honest opinion to a fan ....proper c***** trick in my eyes.

JF has made a fair few mistakes all well documented and gone over a thousand times but has anyone on here who constantly slates him thought about who is going to be around to pay the daily bills and day to day running involved in a football league club when the fairy godmother doesn't step in his shoes.

Feel free to back up your Red Cross with viable solutions.

Exactly, job opening. Pay lousy, stress plenty and you need to put your own cash in. You will also get plenty of abuse
Now JF has made a few mistakes,as do we all but still a massive fan and I am curious for all those shouters yesterday who is had the cash and time to take this on. I would guess SLADE has negotiated a decent contract and this is why we a stuck. In all honesty I did not expect SLADE to be this useless and I bet JF did not as well. When we are like Stockport, Darlington, York......... we can think on this
Priority is staying up and pulling together, the club do need to issue a rallying call, , Marley should stick to what he know in the background as front of house he is a sharp object. The rest of us need to join forces and Slade needs to engage with us Utm

No doubt I'll get red crosses for saying this, but I really do think the Marley bashing is unfair. He only told the guy to "shut up" because he was asked a question and then when he started to answer it the guy who asked the question started ranting and talking over him. I would bet 99% of people on here would have told the bloke to shut up. Watch the video if you don't believe me.

It's sounding better all the time, I just hope Fenty listens and gets the right advice on going forward with this. Keep up the great work Herts.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Mr Fenty hasn't put any cash into the club for years intact he had 250 k out last year so don't know where  you are coming from.
It's said we need 3500 through the gate to break even.
If the whole lot of em leave then there will be a ground swell of support for the new regime witch will be a start.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

At the fans forum (designed to engage fans with the club and build better relations) he also criticised fans for not knowing his name FFS! A perfect example of the boards incompetence at public relations, and frankly unprofessional and embarrassing.  99% of fans would not know the names of all the board of directors at their club. If he wants fans singing his name he should get out on the pitch and stick a few in the back of the net - Christ knows we need it.

If a new company was put in place would that mean that all employees would have to then reapply for there jobs (including Slade/Wilko) 😉?????
If they had to do this and not come up to scratch would they then be let go with no compo???

The initial increased attendances following Fenty's demise will only last so long as we are winning games. 11 without a win will see the same drop off in numbers
