Fenty vote - 82% in favour

Quoted from cod.gtfc

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.

well that's an embarrassing post

Quoted from Quagmire

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.

If anyone who voted yes is a Fenty "yes man" then does it  follow that anyone who voted no is a "no man" who objects to absolutely anything Fenty does? I suggest you consider the merits of each decision or action rather than base everything on personalities - i suspect it's how most voters made their opinion. It's how people with "their eyes open" should operate in my opinion. Using terms like "cretins", "get it through their thick skulls" etc is, without question, the worst possible way to bring people over to your side of the argument.

No clamour, but why would there be when he has immersed the club in so much debt - TO HIM! He was/is the only option and all this vote does is to perpetuate that situation.

Quoted from Ipswin

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

'The cheque's in the post'
'You can't get pregnant doing it standing up'
'Don't worry it doesn't taste of anything'
and now:
'I'll keep the squad together'

Jeez!

So we bring another player in then, Fenty has had the misfortune of previouse managers that carnt manage or no what a good player is, surly even you can see that these two have somthing that we havent seen since we got SIR BUCKLEY from kettering, what wonderfull times lay ahead after that,ITS HAPPENING AGAIN SO STOP BEING NEGATIVE if you havent got anything constructive SHUT the F.U.

ok john.

This seems the ideal result for the moaners on here. Most knew that the Trust would have a majority voting "Yes" so the Trust Board, Trust Members and Fenty could be criticised in equal measure without the worry that funding might disappear this season. The club could then go on funding new players (Soares and Winn) in an attempt to get out of this god-forsaken division but the moaners would still have the moral high ground claiming that 82% of voters had been duped and apparently they are "cretins".

I voted late on to hear the arguments and I voted "Yes". I don't know the Trust Board members and I don't know Fenty. I know that Fenty's debts make our club an unattractive proposition to potential investors and I have been very critical of his decisions and communications to fans as Chairman. However, I do think he's a fan and I'm certain that there is no-one else likely to fund this club until the end of next season. I also think that next season is the most critical season we face as I think we'll fall short this year. So, as the least worst option, I'll give my support to the Trust Board to negotiate with Fenty and hopefully help to keep my club afloat. If he doesn't negotiate properly or the Trust Board aren't up to it I'd either withdraw my support for the Trust - or even put myself forward to get more involved. I wouldn't snipe on the sidelines/messageboards.

So carry on moaning on here and then you will have the satisfaction to be able to say "I told you so" next season if it doesn't work out. Alternatively you could join the Trust and give it a proper mandate to represent the fans. Rant over.

Sums it up perfectly in my opinion. You should post more often
