It was blackmail but why didn't the Trust have a choice....? They should have stood firm. It wasn't in the best interests of the club for Fenty to be given those shares. What has happened since that time and the decisions made have proved that. FFS we're back in the National League.


Leave it. It was a democratic vote by the members of the trust. Unfortunately I don’t think we will get a say anymore.

I won't leave it at all. As a fan for 40 plus years I have every right to be disgruntled with the Trust's decision to fold. You're right though, it was a democratic decision. It was just the wrong one and everyone knows it.

Should have done something about it at the time then. 9 YEARS AGO.

If you’re that ársed, feel free to go & collect the money from John Fenty.

It wasn’t just dealing with a bullŷ.  He did threaten to sell Liam Hearn.  Was he mad enough to this out of spite if he did not get his own way?  Think May and flag-snapping etc.  Yes he is.

Could the Trust have taken the risk?

The Trust could not win.

Who cares if it was 9 years ago. It's contributed in Fenty taking money out of the club he didn't deserve now. Stop trying to defend it you clown.

How has it? From where I’m standing, one group of people decided to sell THEIR shares to someone else, and 9 years later 2 other people bought them with their money.

Your position in this is what? Some bore moaning 9 years too late, who didn’t do anything at the time?

They gave away shares that ultimately gave Fenty money now he doesn't deserve and more control of the club at the time....look how that's worked out FFS. Shares that were donated to them.

Condoning it makes you nothing more than an idiot.

Yep, you’re right. But Fenty was an illegitimate there, he knew the trust were worried that he’d hurt their club on purpose. God, the signs were there years ago with hindsight.

Great interview.

The 200k thing is absolutely disgusting. I don't blame the Trust at all. Fenty's argument at the time made some sense - he wasn't willing to be the sole funder of the club but not have majority share. But upon leaving the only honourable thing to do is to hand those shares over for free as he no longer needed them to retain control. To charge full whack for those shares is fcuking unforgiveable.
