Quoted from Squarkus


of course he would, why would he put money into somthing that he has no control over


Good point. Except the bit where he actually did have control, because the trust had already done a secret deal with him on voting rights, before the share transfer was even proposed. Otherwise, excellent reasoning again, keep it up.

Quoted from cod.gtfc
without Fenty's money we probably won't even have a club


When will people get it through their thick skulls that John Fenty is the reason we need this additional income??

We 'need' this money to pay for a budget that he chooses and knows is way above our means and his general mismanagement.

He could quite easily decide to have a playing budget of 10 million quid next season and then at the end of the season come riding in on his horse to 'pay off' this 10 million deficit.  Of course what he won't say is that the reason we owe 10 million is because he decided to spend 10 million, nor will he mention that the club continues to grow ever deeper in debt to him.

Bad day for GTFC but not unexpected considering that so many cretins on here continue to worship at the altar of a man who has taken us from the Championship to non-league and has saddled us with millions of pounds of (ever increasing) 'benign' debt.

The only solace I can take is that there are 39 Trust members plus myself that voted 'no' who at least appear to have their eyes open.

Still, at least Honest John can add the names of another 170 yes men to the likes of Furneaux, Chapman & Elsom.

I love this post because its true. Great Post.


So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride
Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday

WHS with knobs, bells & whistles! The club that beat Liverpool & Tottenham less than a decade ago now up in arms over a penalty against the might Fleetwood, why are we in this mess? Cue the ITV Digital, tax debt argument........

fenty will keep the squad together


FFS you don't actually believe that do you? Hearn and anyone else Fenty can raise a few quid on will be gone in June

'Don't worry it doesn't taste of anything'
and now:
'I'll keep the squad together'

Jeez!

You would have been if you had sold Fenty the shares instead of giving them to him but of course you folded under his veiled threats about withdrawing finance and selling Hearn so he got your shares for absolutely nowt and spent his £200000 on another lot



You? I'm not a member of the Trust Board but the rest of that post is spot on!

Quoted from Marinerz93


That's right because the countless other clubs who have gone into administration are miles bigger than us.  

We didn't go into admin because JF would have lost everything, he didn't have the clubs asests at the time, now he does and all is good.


yep Boston, Chester, Darlington, Kettering, Halifax, Scarborough......... are all so much better than us.

If you want we can take a gamble, go into admin and hope someone with more money than Fenty comes in and saves us, like these bigger clubs you speak off. If not we can rely on a trust that has no money to save us and we may eventually end up like some trust run clubs, or we could just re-form and start off lower down, or even worse cease to exist.

Me personally would rather not gamble with our clubs future and let fenty carry on throwing his own money away. Until he stops then maybe we will have no choice, but right now I'd rather not gamble and lose.

Remember the grass is always greener on the other side.

It's a bit like turkeys voting for Christmas really. Oh yes, we love what you've done to GTFC John, carry on regardless.
