What happened with Aswad's flat?


Fenty has earmarked it as an enabling development.

It is well known that people have tried to invest in GTFC, but won't, or can't if Fenty remains involved.  He has dragged this club as low as he could and absolutely needs to walk away before the good times can return.  Any business that had performed as we have over the last 10 years would, without doubt demand a change of control.  Time to get the Fenty Out signs dusted down, he might go round snapping them though!
  Scunny's new ground plan is moving fast, as someone else said, they have a dynamic chairman who it seems is respected by the local council.  We have a stubborn & childish chairman, who with his politics, is not helping the club get its support from the council and never will whilst he is involved.


I repeat what I said yesterday...Everything you read suggests that this time the NELC are fully behind the scheme. Politics have little or nothing to do with it. Mind you I don't know how many Socialist millionaires there are financially backing football clubs.....

Don't know about now but Robert Maxwell did!

I'm not sure if Fenty has been a club saviour or villain. Until recently, i only cared about what happened on the pitch and never thought much about the financial running of the club. None of us have the benefit of hindsight and under a different owner/chairman/CEO whatever, we may have been better off and we may have been worse off, who knows?

I do know that i have never been more disillusioned with my club and football in general than i am right now. Something aint been right for a long time and more and more supporters are getting past the stage of caring. Is that the Chairmans fault, the managers fault, the players, the fans, the economic climate, our location, the Prem hoovering all the talent and money........................ the list is endless.

Perhaps the way forward is more fan ownership or full fan ownership ala Wrexham. At least it would bring the fans back closer to the club, if nothing else. Expanding the role of the trust may be the way to go?

I would be prepared to throw in a few hundred quid if it was invested wisely by people with more knowledge than myself. Would a share drive do any good?

Just throwing out ideas. I'm self employed but i'm no businessman and i'm sure someone will be along shortly to take a big dump on my post.

And the other options are ???


Far too practical a suggestion. Nobody ever has a Plan B other than some vague pipe dream that the glory days will come back in we are suddenly plunged into poverty.

I suspect, but I may be entirely wrong, that he isn't a Socialist despite coming from the cradle of Communism...
