Well done The Trust

i have nothing to do with the Trust but I am delighted that they have agreed a solution with John Fenty that removes the highly worrying gridlock created by Mike Parker which could have ended in administration.

What a relief together with the Bennett money to have our future secure for two years.  How many clubs can say that?

With one or two Wembley appearances we could be in a great position financially.

The tide is turning for GTFC.

Why all the sniping on the sidelines?  If people don't like it, do they have money to buy out JF and takeover?

Cue the idiots claiming that you are John Fenty. Good post!

WHS

If one of us wins the Euromillions tonight, may be we can buy Mr Fenty out - but who's to say that we'd be any more popular, and make the right choices?

We should be grateful to Mr Fenty for the amount of his own money he has put into the club, and of course he should be entitled to a greater share holding in return.

Up the Mariners

Sanity at last well done all above. He is a big fan like the rest of us. It just costs him more!! UTM

IF I won the euro's I'd not buy Fenty out. I'd say here is £1million and at the end of the season a further £1million towards keeping the players and adding 1 or 2 quality additions... all I'd want in return is to go where I like when I like at home games. All I'd do is go in the Main stand with my grandad until kick off then go in the Ponny though

Your basis for that comment is?  To the best of my knowledge investing £1m in a failing business might have just added to the chances of avoiding administration?

I've had this dream countless times but my approach would be slightly different because JF is correct that the burden needs to be spread.  I'd therefore ask him if he would agree to writing down all of his loans in return for a 'gift' to the club of an equal amount from my winnings, with the only caveat being that no share dividend be paid for 5 years, to ensure that the money stayed in the club.  I wouldn't want to run the club because I simply don't have the ability.  Despite his mistakes he has the experience and starting from a 'clean' position and with the right person doing the day to day stuff I think he'd maximise the clubs potential.

The bottom line is that he walked away for no reason other than Mr Furneaux being on the board (and he was leaving at the end of the season anyway). Yes he invested £1 million but his childish and petulant antics have created instability. If it wasn't for the takeover panel then I think this feud between Parker and the board would have continued as he probably wouldn't have gifted the shares to the Trust if it wasn't for the investigation.

Thanks for the £1 million Mr Parker, but in hindsight bringing you to the club was a bad move. He was also the deciding factor in appointing Neil Woods over Russell Slade. That just sums it up for me.

I wasn't present at any of the meetings between JF and MP so I have to form my opinions from official statements.  You clearly were at these meetings so I bow to your superior knowledge.

It must be great to listen to just one side of every story. You are a propagandists dream. None of what you mentioned above has ever been substantiated and most of it is rumour and conjecture.
