Fenty,

You and Slade are taking this club back to the Conference. Do us all a favour and get rid of Slade and at least give us a fighting chance of staying up.


Up The Mariners!

Thing is appointing Russell slade has made this club go back five years.

For the life of me I can't see why fenty appointed him, he was on a downward spiral and his career was in freefall.

Football has moved on from being the headmaster with a projector in a classroom.

Fenty, what are you about, because all I can see is utter failure, what is going to be your legacy, what will people remember you for, isn't it about time you and the other abject failures brought someone in to make a success out of the club.


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.

This “Fenty out” thing is getting tiresome

Fenty wants to leave, he’s had enough of it all, but NO ONE want to Buy GTFC at this moment in time.

If you had £2 million in The club town would you just happily walk away and say goodbye to that kind of money? no you wouldn’t. What he needs to do is get rid of Russell Slade tonight, invest more money and hopefully he will be able to sell the club


I've said it before and will say it again, decisions by Fenty and the board took this club out of the Football League and cost the club somewhere in the region of £3,000,000. They don't deserve a penny back.

The club is sustainable for now, but nobody can know what will happen in the months and years to come.  I've seen people make the argument that if the board walked tomorrow there'd be 5000 at the next game.  They might be right, but that number would only last until we have another significant dry spell on the pitch, which is inevitable.

We have about 2.5k hardcore who will always be here, but to be competitive we'd rely heavily on attracting casual fans to maintain our budget.  We can never be sure that those casuals will stay around for good.  Having a benefactor like Fenty in place - and I'm certainly no Fenty fan, by the way - at least ensures that losses can be dealt with in the short term.

Also, people should be glad that we paid him £200k back last year.  With every penny he's paid back, the reality of him selling up creeps nearer.

Is he ever likely to get it back?

That money is a major stumbling block in taking the club forward. If he really wants to leave he'd write it off.

Think your right, but John could maybe restore a little faith if he was to get his cheque book out and actually BUY a quality finisher instead of going for freebies. PLEASE!!!

You know what - this club had a quality finisher 2 seasons ago. We loved him and he loved us. He played against us today, and the poor decisions of people who run GTFC allowed him to slip away from us. Our current manager, of course, doesn't think he's the 'type of player he's looking for'. Yeah, why is that? Because he scores goals? For me, this encapsulates every sad aspect of what has happened to us since we returned to the league. A player truly loved, and who did us proud, playing against us, whilst we muddle onwards with a bunch of so called strikers who don't have that relationship with the fans, and who are less of a goal threat as an aggregated group than Podge is on his own.

For me, this absolutely captures how we've gone backwards since our promotion and killed off any momentum we might have had through mismanagement.
