Im sorry, and don’t take this the wrong way, but you are living in a strange world if you genuinely believe that. Certainly not the business world.

In this day and age, the word “Club” really isn’t appropriate any longer in football. No longer is Football a member based environment. It’s now, moreso than ever before, a very tough and difficult business world.

Supporters are merely that, people that will love their club, live their club and worship their heroes and legends when they come and go. Their non attendance and low morale may even influence an owner to fire a manager. But that’s as far as it goes

To keep a business going like GTFC takes a huge amount of finance and passion to part with that cash. It’s a business transaction though. Owners have every right to protect their loan, to expect to get it back.

Without a high net worth individual like Mr Fenty, you wouldn’t be having an emotive conversation about your beloved football team, because frankly it would be dead and gone years ago.



Like Mike Parker you mean Mr Marley.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Jesus’ disciple Peter, picked up a fish to get the tribute money from it, Jesus left his thumb print on the fish, bless'ed is the Haddock.

And you sound like you have nothing more of substance to offer the discussion.

Thanks for the amusement



And here's all of us thinking it's a lecture..

I said my piece earlier, and in many other threads so I am not interested in what you think.

What does interest me at the moment though is your pomposity.

1878 GTFC were formed. With or without Fenty and his cronies we will be here for many, many, many more years yet.

Huh, maybe not. Football is a fragile business at our level. Ask the Hartlepools

Without the fans there is no club. Without fenty, there will still be a club in whatever guise


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Sorry do not understand what you imply in high net worth individual,if by that you mean some one who has acquired their wealth by exploiting the disempowered then you may be correct. Saying that a football club is a business is just the same as saying the Health Service is a business .Monetarism has long been discredited and we can all see where the Health Service is going to being run like a business.

No longer  is acquisitive capitalism acceptable but a sense of community benifit is growing,may take a long time to reach Grimsby but it is coming Perhaps we may have unearthed J.F's Achilles heel,he may be a very astute business man but lacks emotional intelligence .


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Please can you explain a dignified exit? I assume you mean one where JF walks away with none of the money he has invested/ urinated against the wall?  Why should he do that?

If you don't mean that, please explain exactly what you do mean?


Yes, because he's had a go at it for 15 years and hasn't done very well. He's saddled the club with loads of debt and in that time the club has been an almost total failure. He's said he's fed up of it, nobody will take the club on while the benign loans exist, so why prolong his time in charge?

High net worth individual... I suggest you google it.

What the hell has the NHS got to do with the football business.

You are beginning to sound like a trade unionist
