We have just lost our only positive hope for investment in the last 10 years, a man who put 1.25 million into the club with no conditions. It is a sad day for Grimsby Town and a clear indication that Parker was unable to work with the current board, this whole torrid affair was orchestrated by one man to try and get his money out of the club.

This is another nail in the coffin of Grimsby Town as Fenty will finish the club off, i would like to think that the trust would be able to have a positive influence on the board but over the years the Trust's most vociferous spokesperson has been a clear supporter of the main reason we are were are.

The trouble is that Fenty's loans distort the value of the club and that to wrestle it from his hands would cost well over 2 million pounds and would see Fenty the architect of our our misery walk away with his money.

Im afraid the club and its fans have lost here and we are probably to be back in the stewardship of the most unsuccessful Chairman in our history.

If Mr Parker wanted to take on the role as chairman then surely this was his opportunity? And he didn't take it...

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 ParkerFenty 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.


Why do you say this as its nor true, Fenty and Parker both agreed to put £350k in loans in to the club which JF did, Parker decided to change his to shares, After quitting he told the club it was shares or nothing so the club had no choice.

Fenty has never said he would not pay what was agreed this year what he was/is asking for is someone to help him share the financial commitment for next year, When he asked Parker this is seems he would rather cut and run.

Don’t see then queuing up to help like some on here said they would and I cant see the trust stumping the cash up either

Wouldn't be so sure - one thing saying saying you're looking to reduce your shareholding, another actually doing it.
Who's gonna buy these shares anyway ?

Could be biding his time ?
If Fenty is forced to take reigns then how long will his money or patience last ?
And why would Parker put in that £500K of cash to walk away later ?

Another option - Parker could be offering reconcilation gesture to Fenty - maybe he's concerned about his investment too !

Of course you may well be right but still think this could go any number of ways...

I could counter-argue but it's all speculation.
Scratch that one off the list then.

The proof is in the pudding, one added ingredients the other took the jam and run off.  Regardless of the amount promised by both at a meeting, that for some strange reason didn't have minutes (how unprofessional) who is telling the truth.

The whole fiasco has been orchestrated, Parker's shares were approved by the board then Fenty jumps overboard crying foul, it stinks.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

He should have given the half million shares to this forum. We could have divided them upon based upon number of posts and reputation  


I'd have given mine to BigChris, everyone else on here talks out of their @rses.
