It's not " Our " club ...........It is his !! To do with what he wants . When AFC Grimsby start up then it will be OUR club
Clubs belong to no individual, they belong to the fans. Without the fans a club is nothing. |

Can't accept appalling - he has clearly tried (but failed) to do his best for the club and, as a fan, it must hurt like hell to see where the club stands at present.
Personally, I would like to see some humility, maybe an acceptance that it has gone wrong under his leadership. Maybe he should provide a clear, unequivocal statement of what he means by benign. Are these loans preventing others from coming to take over? I guess we'll never know.
What he must now accept is that he has lost the trust of many fans - even some who have been supportive in the past realise that he has overstepped the mark by criticising the very people who have kept his club, no, our club, afloat. I guess many watched AFC Wimbledon last night and were reminiscing of nights like that at BP where we had the place rocking and I wonder whether we'll ever see that again.
I pray we do but fear we won't.
Well we agree on some things...I'd say fans of Darlington, Hereford etc. have a much better understanding of the word appalling |

Thias is ridiculous, If "get your facts right" is John Fenty them I'm a dutchman.
Has anybody thought why he would choose a pseudonym like that and post on The Fishy ?
And do you think he would really address this post using all capital letters for each word, and then spelling "goodbye" as "Good By"
If people believe that then they will believe anything.

Sorry Tom but he is John Fenty, Grim Rob has confirmed that John joined the fishy under that name, Also I have spoken to John about the fishy at a couple of away games,. John like me is a little dyslextic so his spelling and grammar like mine is not always right. |

I'd like it not to be!!! My worry is about the decisions made at the club over the last 10+ years, you have to wonder what sort of quality debate went into making them. Criticism is a powerful tool to improve things that have not gone quite to plan. |

Add in Phoenix clubs like Wimbledon and halifax, they have managed to start again and still be at the same or a higher level than us. |

I mentioned on here a number of years ago that the way forward would be fan ownership. We now have representation of fans on the board by the Trust, so here's a question for you John. If you really passionately believe in the club why don't you forego your loans that you've made to the club and help the fans set up a body that can take over the club by having 51% of the shares, and starting from a sound financial basis? You're a businessman, and if this was a business you'd have either got rid of it long time since, or restructured it from top to bottom to help sustain it. We could even make you a life president in recognition of your services to the club. You could even go in the Main Stand at games and eff and blind at the players to your heart's content.  |

That's stretching it a bit! |
