Good By My Fishy Friends
Sorry to be pedantic but its goodbye.
I'd check your facts. Good-by is an acceptable alternative - the only thing he's potentially guilty of there is forgetting a hyphen. Not sure if that is acceptable. [url]http://www.thefreedictionary.com/good-by[/url] |
| To quote - Insanely amazing or amazingly insane. Life as a Town Fan. |

This is so sad.... John, you have fallen out with everyone throughout your 10 years in charge including radio Humberside (like him or loathe him, Dave Burns genuinely believes you are solely responsible for our plight), The Grimsby Telegraph and now the fans themselves.
You are unable to take any kind of difference of opinion, which has cost/is costing us dearly.
What a great partnership you and Mike Parker could have made but you couldn't take it.
For whatever reason, you keep a stranglehold on the control of the club, which I believe has been putting off other potential partners (big or small) and I know several.
I have always backed you but I am beginning to doubt your motives.
I will never, ever boo or abuse a player in a town shirt but to watch some of them just go through the motions, Arnold last game for example, is soul draining. Shake them up, not us, we will be there long after they've gone (I hope)
Hard to argue with anything here. |

I agree with all of this and I think it is obvious an enormous ego is not matched with enormous ability to run a football club. The stranglehold he has at the club permeates through everything unfortunately, and any potential investors (and yes they are out there) will wait till he finally admits defeat and / or gets his benign loans back. Sometimes, even with the best will in the world, things just don't work out. |

absolutely but say fenty reads this and other posts and thinks im off ive had enough off this, which in all honesty looks the case anyway how would the club survive? is there people locally who could take us on ? my question is based on him not wanting anything money wise,just wants out.  |

I think that depends on whether the loans are written off or not. While they hang over the club nobody will take it on. |

From previous conversations i think JF would seriously consider stepping aside for a fraction of the money he is owed BUT subject to him being satisfied that the people taking over have the ability to take the club forward. If he felt the motives were suspect then there is no way he would hand over the club

Thanks for the insight BC. Still worries me that a half (as a fraction) of the loan is still a big price tag for the privilege of taking over a non-league club with a largely out-of-date stadium in a largely poor area of the country. I really hope that we can find a team that will take us out of this league and give us some positive momentum - this would in turn provide a justification for a new stadium which, ultimately, could re-ignite the club's finances. |

I think that the size of that fraction is they key issue for anyone who will want to take the club over. |
