We could have change, to a worse ownership. What if their only interest is to aid their regeneration money making? All we know about them is that they contain tyre kickers, family butchers, and a guy who peddles positivity. Do they know anything about owning a football team, I fear not?

The mindset of a few on here is bewildering...
The failure to acknowledge, understand, comprehend that the actions of the current owner and board have run the club into the ground, driven it backwards, in and off the pitch whilst on the way soured reputation of club together with relationship with fans, media and other clubs like n general.
I for one can’t wait until they go - not just JF but those around him.
The consortium might have ambitions, motives in and around the town - in a positive way - who knows? They might have ambitions of getting this once heralded small club on the East coast back on its feet , and recognised again - in a positive way, they might end up disappointing- who knows??
But one thing they are is very much needed.

Do John Fenty, Philip Day and Stephen Marley know anything about running a football club? I KNOW not!

They are all very successful business men, GTFC is a business...end of!..
I haven't read where somebody has said anything different about them so what's your point. GTFC is a business and in most takeovers somebody says something about what they want/intend to do. At present the term 3 brass monkeys come to mind!

Even if you don't see what they're promising to do with the club, all you have to do is look at their history and track records.
You'll find they are mostly, if not entirely, successful businessmen who believe in the power of people and communities.
You don't have to dig far to find that these are decent people with decent values.
That's enough for me. Big plans or no plans, this consortium is far more open and ethical than our current board.

I'd check posts above by Realist who questions whether Shutes, Stockwood and Pettit know anything out running a football club.

I appreciate your rose coloured glasses but apart from wanting to buy Fenty out and a preference for a docks stadium (made months ago) what else have they been open bout?

The ONLY thing they have made public is :-
They wish to buy Fent'y shares and pay off his loans. Their preference for a new stadium is the docks
...Stop misleading fans and building up hopes.
Jarmo isn’t building up our hopes up DB it’s the fact the consortium is willing to do the 2 things you’ve listed. Being without the so called fan Fenty is enough to get most of us excited. Even if we stood still we’d be better off than with him. I’ve heard it said these guys cud be worse. How? We’re heading to the abyss AGAIN through the consistent and abject failure achieved under fenty’s watch. I’ve said it before but I’ll repeat it, they give us hope and optimism rather than the shite we’ve been accustomed to. That’s enough for me right now.

I believe my post was timed earlier.

I would have thought it would be unprofessional and bad business etiquette to say what you are going to do with someone's else is business before you actually own it...
