He is listed as community coach and chief scout. Find us a striker then Graham.

Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis


Chapman - £500 shares
Day - £2500 shares
Marley - £2000 shares
Wood - £500 shares
Fenty - £975,000 shares

I assume the £2mil director's loans are all to JF and not any of the other board members.

The majority of the Town board have been failing for years and as a closed shop decided by Fenty who comes on board or who he will sell to control over to.

The board is made up of shareholders. The more shares you have the more say you get.  We don't have many people investing in the club so we are stuck with what we have. If a benefactor were to come along and buy up shares they would be voted on to the board. If they want to control the club they would have to buy a majority stake by buying up over 50% of the shares.

Fenty has often said that he would sell his shares to the right person, but,so far nobody with the money has come in with a bid.

I suppose that is Fentys fault as well.

If and when the new stadium becomes a reality, we might become more attractive to investors. Until then there is nothing any one can do but sit and wait.

All the bile that is on this board is because of the dross we have to watch every week. Fenty is a fan like the rest of us, and will be just as angry at Slade as we are. Sooner rather than later he will sack Slade, and the manager merry go round starts again.

If by chance we get a decent manager and our fortunes improve all the bile will disappear and we get back to talking about the game and not the boardroom.

It seems to have missed you that fact that £2 million of bile loans are what are stopping investors, why would any sane person buy controlling shares which also means buying Fentys shares and not own the clubs assets, while the debt is there no one will come in. Mike Parker told Fenty this when he came on board in a press statement.

Don't think changing the manager nor winning a few games ( or scoring a goal) will spare the fans anger towards JF. Just think it has got too far this time.

PS I don't think this is bile, it is genuine anger build up over many years.
