Nobody is coming up with any sensible solutions. How to get rid of a manager without breaking the bank and how to get a new investor in without having to pay our debts to the present investor. We all seem like keyboard bankers who don't have any real inventive ideas '  On paper 2+2 =4  but in real life it is not. How can we come up with a sensible solution without knowing the relevant facts of contracts etc. Of course we all have our own wishes and ideas but if we knew the real facts our [sensible] ideas would surely change. At the moment JSF is our only chance of survival unless some rich [insane] money slinger awayer comes along

So we carry on hoping that we might pick up a few points to avoid sleepwalking back into the Conference? Give me strength.

We need Fenty to come up with the plan! He holds all the cards, but can make public that he is quite prepared to take a big hit for the good of the club he says he loves.The money he has wasted is his responsibility and it is quite unrealistic to expect somebody to pick up the tab for his mistakes. Had he made a success of it, then that would be a different matter, but he hasn't, sadly.

There is a compromise to every situation and it is up to the present board to start the ball rolling, and start actively looking for a way out that is a compromise on their part, which presumably will encourage other potential investors to make enquires.

We are absolutely doomed if Fenty thinks he can sit there till somebody comes up with the money he feels he is owed as that simply won't happen.

After nearly 2 decades of excrement I think fenty as got away pretty leniently tbh but here's what I'd do ...
, sack Slade today and appoint Dave Moore and Ben Davies , not ideal but we need to move fast . If they won't do it advertise it but act quickly within 7 days none of the due process excrement that never worked anyway, we have nothing to lose

Like I said in another post if he really wanted out and wasn't worried about getting his loans back at the same time he'd have appointed a paid MD to take the heat on a week by week basis. The potential fan base at GTFC is large enough for us to be sustainable at EFL level without putting millions in each year you just need the right figure at the helm.

Even if someone else took over they'd still have to get over the hurdle of paying Slade off. It's unforgivable that we made someone who had been sacked three times in rapid succession a contract that made him unsackable! Neil Woods was a rubbish choice but at least he was cheap! This latest appointment has to be the worst ever.

Rob, you like a number or two so cost of sacking Slade versus the cost of dropping into the National League?

Both Fenty and Slade need to answer that question especially after the players are over priced quote from Slade during the January transfer window.


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.

There must be a clause in the contract in the event of a dismissal that we don't have to pay the full wack surely? That is standard practice isn't it? I don't even believe he would be on that long a contract anyway - it would be suicidal for a league 2 club to offer a lengthy contract without seeing how the first year or two went.
