Fenty Statement Kalxon

Not everyone will agree, but I'd give Fenty some credit here.  It's very difficult to do an interview like that and try to explain the ins and outs of financial fair play, share options and all sorts of other stuff that IS totally relevant, but complicated.  He's tried his best to put this in layman's terms, but it's clearly not easy.

I want Fenty to sell up like everyone else, and I am indeed sick of the lack of progress.  I'm sure that John is of the same opinion too, he wants out and I'd be the same in his shoes.

Clearly MJ has let himself down badly, and he wanted out; if he was desperate to keep his job he'd have gone to the hearing and could possibly have stayed in place.  Like JF said, it's not predetermined what the outcome will be, although I am of the opinion that the club would have been well within their rights to sack him.

All in all, fair play to John for coming out and putting us in the picture.  Regarding budget, if we do indeed have a 7-12th spot budget, then MJ, and many of us, have been way off the mark regarding our speculation on this.  Of course we want a Top 3 budget, but we don't have the income at present.  It's such a shame, though, that the club are having to invest in BP to keep it up to scratch - I can't help but think this is futile, and whilst necessary short-term, is a waste of money, long-term.

Let's see what Part 2 has to say.  I'm intrigued, but not expecting much detail.

Quoted from rancido

Why are you shocked about the budget? Is it because you would rather believe spurious and unsubstantiated claims on here than the facts?

A lot of people on here believe what they want to believe so just ignore the facts. JSF explained how it works but people ( the same people) just want blood all the time. He has made mistakes but to some people he can do no right.

part 2 up!

Around 30 job applicants and some good ones,

Interesting

Just watched Part 2

- talk of 1 in 1 out on player movement in Jan , all funds available spent at beginning of season , he acknowledges width is required ,
- JF believes we have a really good side and that this season is not dead + buried
- the rolls royce was briefly mentioned, that was to do with the playing side of things
- talks of two interested parties regards a takeover, still wanting proof of funds re running the football club, says long way from seeing a deal
- the disciplinary meeting was set up which could of resulted in a wrap on the knuckles for MJ, but JF says MJ knew what the outcome would be so asked for mutual consent
- Wednesday is main focus at the mo a juicy fixture with the 2nd round described as even juicier
- Moore is assisting AL with a other ( we now know thats Ben Davies
- JF mentions 30/40/50 applicants received and more interest than previous  

that's probably the best i/v i've seen him do in ages..
i think it's patently obvious that he didn't want it to end like this, and he hinted that he shared Jolley's frustration with Humberside.
seems very frustrated with Shutes and the other party interested, over lack of funds. Have to say i'm not surprised he's frustrated - Shutes has now been dealing with the club for about a year, possibly more, but still hasn't provided proof of funds.
no takeover in the near future.

I'm not impressed with the fact that an off the record discussion gets leaked in the first place. Jolley was right to mention Radio Humbersides negativity, he just did it in the wrong way. Listening to Tondeur sometimes makes me want to jump off a bridge when he's commentating.

Something's not right at our club. As good as our fans are, there are some perpetual moaners where nothing is good enough. It usually ends up with managers losing it with the fans or getting the sack.

Surely it can't be 10 years of poor management recruitment that's to blame here can it?

He lost it long before this interview. 1 winger at the club. 3 - 5 - 2 with any Tom, male private or Harry playing at Wing Back. A manager lives and dies by his decisions. Some of Jolleys were frankly appalling.

Quoted from Ipswin

All football clubs in UK are greatly relieved

I was half expecting MJ to take a swipe at you on his way out to be honest

I heard all about King Matt Dean, King Burnsy, King Gwilym but he left out the Fishy and a possible King Swin....
