Fenty Resigns!!!

Quoted from boston fan

Time for Church to get off the bench and into the Boardroom then,  with his degree in Business & finance. If he cant help you ON the pitch he might help OFF it .

Never a truer word was spoken in jest.....!!!

Fenty in the GET :

Trying to run the football club at anytime is difficult, let alone with the controlling shareholder sat outside of the boardroom," he said, talking exclusively to the Grimsby Telegraph.

"I must assure supporters there isn't any immediate financial panic. It's towards the end of the year when the football club requires more money."

"There will be a cry from some the football club is rudderless – that is not going to be the case," he continued.

"I am remaining as a director and there is no intention of anyone to leave that role at this stage.

"I've made sure the club could remain a going concern year in, year out through funding I have provided.

"We had been successively relegated over two seasons and Peter Furneaux decided to call time on his chairmanship.

"I guess I was the last man standing; it wasn't really planned. Nevertheless, it was a privilege to chair the club I love.

"It's harder than you might imagine. You just cannot legislate for what's going to happen in football.

"Sleep, home-life and your existence is affected. Despite all the flak, I don't regret it at all and would take the job on again if in the same position."

I think the club's footing is a lot sounder than it was when I joined the board; at least we only have future debts.

"The position of the football club today is very different to the one I inherited as a majority shareholder back in 2002.

"We don't have a £700,000 tax debt – it's all been paid off.

"We don't have the shortfall each year left by ITV Digital's collapse of £2½-million.

"They were massive problems for the club.

"We had players being paid sums of money equal to those income streams that were lost.

"In all honesty, there was a mercenary attitude from a lot of those players who wouldn't take a pay cut.

"In fact, the only one prepared to take a cut at the time was Steve Croudson.

"We lost 55 per cent of our income overnight; it was a terrible burden.

"There weren't any Jack Lesters or Lee Ashcrofts to sell, they had already gone.

"But that aside, we never had a good enough reason to go into administration.

"There was never a time in those dark early days it was in the best interests of the club to go into administration.

"So we had to grin and bear it and roll our sleeves up.

"We agreed a repayment schedule with the tax man and launched the 'Keep The Mariners Afloat' campaign which was received well by the fans at the time.

"I think the negativity around the club subsided for a while, somehow it manifested itself in acceptance of the situation.

"Ironically, after this we had a good spell on the field.

"Other than that time, we have managed the difficulties outside of the glare of the public eye."
Until the football club comes to terms with where it's at and stops thinking it's a Championship club, and all the anxiety that creates, I don't think there will be an early return to the Football League

FANS?

You can intercourse off right now, the blame for our demise is no way involves the fans of this club. I'm sick to death of the fans being told its our fault when in reality you and the other mugs fall for what Fenty and people involved in the club say.
Unbelievable, Let me guess if GTFC does die over the next few months that will be the fans fault as well will it? for wanting Fenty out Total flipping balderdash

under the circumstances, the fans have been mostly excellent over the 10 years of decline

the constant digs at supporters by fenty over the years has been unforgiveable.  we were there are tranmere.  we were there at burton. we were there at braintree.  we know what division we're in
