Pompous, maybe. More knowledgeable than Graham Precious, certainly.

Graham remained dignified in the face of strong provocation. Id have handled Butcher rather differently which is why I'm not the communications officer of the Trust

Quoted from psgmariner


I understand and accept the point about the loans making GTFC unattractive to investors but no alternatives other than admininstration or living within our means (easy phrase to band around but wait till we start selling Hearn etc at the first opportunity, increasing ticket prices etc) were put forward in the article.

Like I say, I read the diary every day. It makes me laugh, it makes me think but I rarely agree with it at the moment.



Lets say Fenty decided to do just that. As almost the only creditor, Fenty is left to negotiate with the Administrators. He negotiates a settlement figure of about .00001p in the pound, takes total ownership of the shareholding and therefore all the clubs assets, and wipes all other shareholders in a single swipe. I can't imagine he'd take us into admin and walk away. The club has assets, BP for one.

Isn't this scenario just as likely as a new investor coming in? Is this a better solution for people? Just a thought.

He was clearly undone and failed to offer answers to any of the big issues. He was very calm and polite but had zero answers.

I liked Mr Butcher the Codalmighty bloke because he made Gwilym Lloyd sound even more of a member than usual.
The Trust fella just sounded out of his depth.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Not Mr Butcher's fault it's pure lazy journalism on the BBC's part for giving him the airtime and creating a controversy.


It shows just how poor they are at their profession!


No professional pride!

NB John Tondeur, who often has the inside knowledge and the consensus views of fans, is very quiet!

But he has respect, gravitas and has something about him. (I'm not saying he agrees or disagrees with this post but he never makes something out of nothing!!)

Mr Butcher spoke a lot of truth and Mr Precious seemed to be regurgitating JF spin, sorry.  I think the trust could have got a better deal if they renegotiated.  I never thought I'd say it but give me Burns any day of that annoying interrupting fool Gwilym Lloyd.


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.
