Certainly sounds like a populist way of beginning to bail out by MP. Can't really blame him too much, but my worry is that JF is planning to bail out as well.

Which would leave us up shite creek without the proverbial paddle.

He could donate all his shares to GTST?

Quoted from gtfc98
Given the statement by the trust the other week that they basically haven't had a meeting in the last few years and they've all had better things to do is this really a good idea? We need a trust that has the time to give to the board, and the potential resources. It all smells a bit fishy to me...


So surely the answer is for YOU to find you haven't got anything better to do and attend/hold a meeting.

Typical Grimsby.

Quoted from DJ Mera
Why does this news fill me with dread and leave me fearing for the future of the club? (This in no way reflects on the GTST board but more on MP, it feels like he has pulled the rug from under our beloved Club and I now fear for it's future)


Why don't people take this for an opportunity it could be TURNED INTO instead of taking the usual "woe is me" approach?

JF was trying to get MP to either buy out his shares (forced by takeover panel) or sell/dump shares to drop control allowing JF to be in total control again, win-win for JF you'd think. This is a very clever move by MP because JF said the shareholding of MP was the ONLY reason he stepped down, so now if that reason becomes void he has no excuse for not being Chairman again does he? We'll soon find out if he was bluffing or not if GTST accept this offer...

They both have too much to lose to (both) walk away, I hope

Todays event has proved a real eye opener - it proves GTST can't or won't do anything of real value of for the supporters (sorry "their paying members" ) without getting JF's stamp of approval first !

How ironic a "supporters club" is ultimately overseen by the board of directors !  

On the subject of GTST "membership", I suggest people don't need to pay £15 or even a single penny to be a "member" to make it as accessible as possible.

Instead, they should rely on donations of what supporters can afford or think it's worth.

If anyone wants to ask that at the meeting then be my guest.

Its like a game of chess, seems that both are worried to take total control of a failing, massively loss making club, they can no longer work together, so both are making their exits seem as if they have done all they can.
Id like to believe this is a good thing for the club,i desperately hope it is ,but the cynic in me tells me we could be witnessing two  egos pressing their  ejector seat buttons and leaving us with no club.
God i pray i'm wrong.

So Mr Parker has no agenda(his words).This act is clearly designed to mix it for the existing board members.Nobody puts the amount of cash he did into a club without some return-finacial or position.Something caused him to rethink his position and the amount of abuse against John Fenty by so called supporters would surelly have been a factor.The position of chairman is the poison chalice at GTFC
