Mr Fenty's reply to my e-mail

I received an e-mail this morning from the chairman confirming he is okay for me to post this on the fishy:

Dear Jason,

We have an AGM next Thursday coming, which is very important to the club in that the agenda is seeking shareholders to position Mike Parker as a major shareholder in the club.

As far as having a Fans Forum I will ask Dale to consider a suitable date. As you know, I have always been available and answerable.


In the Boards opinion, it would be kneejerk to change manager when we are only 7 points from the top. Should we have won today things would have looked a lot brighter.

There is a desire for longevity and equally success too, after saying that we have signed 13 new players albeit Michael Coulson was here on loan last season.

In real terms, the players have barely been introduced and there have been lots of changes behind the scenes.

I sincerely hope giving reasonable time that we can see the fortunes of Grimsby Town change. I know it has been dire, for which I take personal responsibility for irrespective of the Board making collective decisions.

I am pleased to hear that you are behind Neil, he works terrifically hard and deserves success. I hope we can all wish him the best and the time to turn around our fortunes on the field.

Many thanks for you sterling support

I disagree

I think this reply pretty much affirms that Woodsy's here for the long haul. Now, let's move on.

What?  I am supposed to forget that this bloke has run this club into the ground because he had the decency to tap out an email on his computer in reply to one of his loyal customers???  Are you for real?  It is not whether he replies or not, we need action, starting with him going to get a job that he is capable of doing!

'I know it has been dire, for which I take personal responsibility for irrespective of the Board making collective decisions.'


Understatement of the year there Fenters and what awful grammar - still he is only a fish salesman so ringing a bell as he pushes the handcart is all thats needed I suppose

John gets a lot of stick from the fans but he does come across well. There has been countless ocassions where he responds to emails from the fans and I think we should stick by Woods for a little longer

"personal responsibility" as far as I am concerned is an action as well as words.  Saying you take responsibility is hollow unless you back it up (by walking away without demanding top dollar for an institution you have fu(ked)

You show me a CEO of another company who has halved his customer base and decimated the company's income in ten years. . . . . do they 'get stick'?. . . No, they get relieved of their command!!!!!!!!!!!!!
