I'm just guessing. Just because my guess doesn't conform to the hysteria that you are seemingly trying to create, doesn't make it any less valid. Obviously, you do know what's gone on, so if you could enlighten people eloquently, then maybe this thread would be over.

Although my point still stands, what did JW put forward other than the fans don't want RS here? Because the board already knew that. For JW to have been overlooked, you must have had some other convincing points that you put forward. I don't think publicising those goes against any NDA as long as you're not disclosing what came directly from the club.

You just happen to be guessing using the same argument and near identical wording as a member of the board. Must be a huge, huge coincidence I'm sure.

To be fair, the board are very much in touch with the fans and haven't at any point, let alone recently, completely misjudged the feelings and opinions of the majority of the fanbase and written them off as a "vocal minority".


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

How ironic.

He’s saying he is an excile.

And the vast vast majority of fans wish he really was one.

Perhaps he’s just practicing for next season. We live in hope !!



The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Also, for someone who is definitely an exile and not connected to the board, that's a really odd way of phrasing it. You're making a lot of assumptions about a meeting that you definitely didn't attend but seem to know a lot about.

Can't the Trust just resign from the board and put their energies elsewhere? You cannot reason with them, it is one man who thinks he owns everything to do with GTFC surrounded by his acolytes and they will never listen in any meaningful way.

I understand why the trust did it. People are starting to turn on them and they want to deflect that pressure. It's an easy escape to say something like that which will then turn the anger back on the club because they're the most reviled entity.

I also think there have been other things done and said by people with an ulterior motive of wanting regime change and trying to force the situation at any cost. Now with the downturn in form, it's a much easier target to get people on the bandwagon. The only problem is, there isn't anybody proposing a realistic solution, just a foot stomping of wanting the man out.


A realistic and sensible post with all that's going around.
