Nothing against the Trust-appointed director but when the other three can only muster £5k of shares between them and one of them has now shown his true colours, then they can only be there to support rather than challenge the major shareholder.

Quoted from grimsby pete
I like that nice little man DAY who is a solicitor I think,

Marley is rude but does the accounts and little else,

The other bloke who is a horse trainer is only there to give the others tips,

The Trust bloke is not allowed to report back to us so what's the point,

As for our non chairman I think I have said enough about him in the past.

So you can guess how I voted .


You know - after 15 years of mostly floundering or failing as a football club - it seems fair to ask: who exactly is/are the footballing brain(s) on the board?

If the answer's a fishmonger we're in trouble......

1. One's a solicitor - How many court cases have we won / lost, how many shares does he have
2. One's an accountant - How many new investors has he won / lost, how many shares does he have
3. One's a horse trainer - So what does he do to improve the club, how many shares does he have
4. Ones a fish merchant who sold his business - his record speaks for itself, how many shares does he have and how much do we owe him in benign loans

What does Flemming actually do?

Why don't we have a chairman?

SACK THE BOARD!


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.

£500 in shares and a director - that does seem very odd, it isnt like he is bringing a skill set we need to the table as far as i can tell. Surely it would need more in shares than that to justify a spot on the board

Well, the result is going to be obvious, and for the record I said “no”

I would like to say I have no axe to grind with JF, I may not agree with him on occasion, but he is probably at his wits end currently and at a really low point.
He has put substantial funds in to the club, and I genuinely believe done what he thinks to be for the best.

What the fans forum showed me is that JF has no credible support on the board to help and guide him in difficult times.
Rude, outdated yes men who offer (in my opinion) little in terms of knowledge, communication skills, business nous, empathy with the fans, or (if reports are true) little or no cash backing

However, I’m not sure what the alternative is currently?

Don't shoot the messenger!

All on the accounts, see link below, I can only assume that I've been red-crossed because someone doesn't like me getting my facts right.

I certainly didnt red cross you, and am not in any way having a go at you. You make a good point.

I do vaguely remember seeing that before and thinking it was odd at the time. Perhaps the hope was that he may, through his occupation, be involved with individuals of high net worth who may be interested in spending some of it on football and he could point them Town's way.
