But do you trust Fenty to get it right this time, his record on appointing managers isn't great?


I don't think we can ever trust Fenty to get it right TBH, (I thought Newell was a great appointment!)  if its possible to fcuk it up he will but surely sooner or later he will strike lucky .Please!

Absolutely the correct decision in my eyes.

A bit of a marmite character, even those who supported him didn't seem to understand what the end game was, if there was one.

It is one of the strangest episodes Iv'e witnessed after all these years - appoint an up and coming manager who by and large the fans approve of, who then seems to go into meltdown before really getting his feet under the table.

I too understand a delegation of players had a meeting with the non chairman to show their concerns, and if a manager doesn't command the respect of the players then he has to go.

He will be kicking himself for making such a pigs ear of it. If only he had felt his way into the job before changing everything.


I think that last line is apt. I generally agreed with what he was doing but he did go at it like a kid in a sweet shop and it seems his reach exceeded his grasp.

Donney team selection and result probably raised the hammer to knock the nail in the coffin.  Must be cumulative issues though.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56


How do you know the contract does not allow for the employee i.e. MB, to be placed on garden leave or dismissed with full payment of notice?

Football manager's contracts are I am sure very different to the ordinary guy in the street and I would still guess contact has not been breached but without the paperwork we will not know for sure so academic argument!!


I was working from the claim that he was on a 6 month rolling contract. I assume that's the case, although you're right - I've never seen his contract so none of us know for sure.

Significantly he's not even got past the first six months - he was in post for 5 months and 3 days. For all we know he might have had to get past the first six months to trigger the rolling element?

Anyway - he's gone so it's a question of who comes next.

I'll wait until the full verdict is in the air before making comment.


It's a football related topic not a crown court trial.

Shocked. If it's just a football decision I wish all the best for the future.

Quoted from MuddyWaters
The conspiracy theories will start. Myself, I still think there was more to Henderson leaving than was said at the time.


I agree something was not right there. Problem is as with all GTFC matters we will never be told the truth by Fenty and co. so conspiracy theories will not surprisingly abound

Come on John break the habit of a lifetime and tell the paying fans. Perhaps (hopefully) Bignot will spill the beans once the cheque has cleared.

I'm disappointed, personally.  I've always wanted clubs to trust a manager and give him the authority to pick and command players how he chooses, and I think our new approach of hiring young, ambitious managers was our best hope of climbing the leagues.

But I'm not privy to the crucial information surrounding this and the board may have been justified in its actions.

It will take at least a season with a new manager in charge to see if it was the correct decision.  Here's hoping that it is.

Looks like it has come about hastily, so they just wanted to get it out there before it emerged through other means. I think they will explain it more when the dust settles.


Betcha they don't - they will just feed us more bullshit and half truths.as usual
