No - the biggest snag is that this may effectively hand back the club to JF and he may re-assume the chair.


That's surely the best possible thing that could happen! Otherwise the club as a going concern would be insolvent and we wouldn't be able to afford players of the quality we have now. We'd be joining Southport, Gateshead and the other bottom feeders in this division at best.

Put the ball back in Parkers court. If the shares are indeed offered to GTST, REFUSE THEM.

Not sure if you were being ironic, but aren't both those teams above us in the league?

What would that achieve?

You can't force someone to take responsibity for the company they own. Obviously, his investment is of no significance to him and his motives are not financially driven.

Nobody disputes that he is a GTFC fan.  Unfortunately, despite being a fan and working hard he has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is incapable of running a football club and based upon what has happened since he became major string puller in 2002 the club are only liable to go one way with him running the club.

We've gone from a relatively solvent Championship club to a team in the lower reaches of non-league who lose a million quid each year under his 'stewardship'.

Nobody can really argue that he doesn't have the best interests of the club at heart but he is patently incapable of running the club.

People bang on about the money he has put in but the vast majority of that money has been used to pay for his mistakes and general mismanagement.

I struggle to see how people can continue to support him.

Whilst John Fenty is involved with GTFC we will continue to slide.

Medicority has become acceptable to too many on here and in the stands.

It is totally unacceptable that this club is playing Alfreton today and it is totally unacceptable that the man who has brought us to this point continues to be involved with the club.

RIP GTFC whilst John Fenty is involved in any way, shape, or form.

They might be now but their playing budgets are way below ours. With our current playing budget we will eventually get promoted and generally you'd expect us to be swimming near the surface. With theirs they might have one good year when everything clicks but most of the time they'll be bottom feeders.

Parker is making Fenty look a bigger twit now than when Fenty resigned his Chairmanship.

Parker put into the club what they both agreed on at the start of the season.  Fenty has reneged on that agreement to the tune of £350K and then tried to off load the bones of the club to Parker.

Fenty calls out for financial help but when it turns up in the form of someone who is richer than him he does what he can to alienate him.  Parker has invested more money in 20 months than JF did in 5 years.

Some time ago I said that Fenty could end up being the best or the worst Chairman we have ever had.   I was really hoping for the best but you can't always call what side the coin will land on.
