Time for JF to put his money where his mouth is!

Quoted from Biccys

Personally I can't see why you're not addressing the questions raised on here Mr Fenty. Surely the public forum is more wide reaching than a face-to-face chat where your words will reach only 1 person. These questions are eating away at the club once again. You can address them once and for all here and now.
Or aren't YOU man enough?

Another game where we played quite well but failed to take chances and the manager looks for "positives".

Meanwhile Jon Parkin signs for Forest Green. I am not saying that Parkin in particular would have been the answer to our prayers but the reason he signed for FG and was willing to make the long trek from the north was money. If PH had been really interested, a player like Parkin might well have come here for a bit less than he will get at FG though apparently still more than PH (really JF) is willing to shell out.

That is the problem with us fans calling for a proper striker signing. The fact is that proven strikers cost money. Where are you going to get a good one with a decent record without spending? Taking on injury prone risks and journeymen front runners is only going to lead us into yet another season where the pressure is on the defence to grind out results whatever formation PH tries.

I don't doubt that some of PH's signings this close season are pretty reasonable but none of them score goals, none of them make a statement of intent to our rivals and none of them enthuse the supporters and make them think "geez this is a good player, he could make our season".

Returning to the topic, I think I speak for most people in saying that fans are relatively happy with what we've got so far. Arguably, as experience shows us is that the difference between a good side that can get into the playoffs and a side that will go onto win promotion is a striker that will get you 20-30 goals in a season. The past two seasons have shown us that, and we've just run out of steam at the final hurdle.

Unfortunately, the past two seasons we've been unlucky as the player that could have been the difference was out injured. No disrespect to Ross Hannah, but imagine if we'd had a fully fit Liam Hearn banging in the goals and creating chances on top of what we'd already had? The point is, we've done well without a goalscoring striker but it hasn't been enough to gain promotion. As I understand, we have one of the bigger budgets in the league and we've built a good side so far. But we need to make this count by having that goalscoring striker.

I don't know the facts regarding the Bogle, some people allege that the gap between what Solihull wanted and what we offered was £7/8000. No one knows for sure, for me personally I don't buy that story. For me the problem has been Hurst's transfer policy approach, which hasn't worked with regard to bringing in a striker. It should have been the first transfer he made, because it was one of our biggest problems last season. Waiting and waiting for a striker to drop his demands and come along doesn't necessarily work with good strikers, as it may do with other players in other positions, because they are difficult to find and are in high demand. What I seem to think has happened, is that Hurst (as he said in the Telegraph at the start of the transfer window), believed there to be a pool of high quality players and was happy to wait and be frugal, only to realise that these players have been snapped up, with some having turned us down. He later comes out and says there aren't enough quality strikers in the market. My point is, is that I think Hurst has been slow to tackle the problem and now only has a limited number of options.

If we managed to bring in that striker, I think this team can push for the title. Otherwise, I think it'll be a similar season to the last couple.

We've still got signings to make and haven't played our strongest yet. I've got a real feeling that the goals will come in the league.

I really don't think Fenty has the time or inclination to debate the budget with saddoes on the internet. Saying "I'm John Fenty" in a post doesn't make it true

I have a flat tummy and a massive schlong.

See, I just checked and I don't.
