Defending Mr Fenty

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

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.

I've never bought into this long ,well paid contract theory , especially after only 6 month rolling contracts were offered to the 2 previous managers.

Completely wrong information mate

Is it? Which bit?      

Quoted from GrimRob

if we can't afford to sack him then get him doing some other job and put someone else in charge of the team. We don't need to worry about new signings until the summer, we just need a few more points from the remaining games.

Great idea, the Upper hasn't been swept properly for ages.

I think some of the managerial appointments on paper you wouldn't think they would have turned out like they did.  Yed he made some cheap options like Nicky Law.  Then when Newell came got promoted with Hartlepool and i thought he was a good appointment how wrong was i but then you cant blame JF for how it turned out.  Now it might seem im defending John...im just trying to remember at that time why the appointments were made.  I know the buck stops at the top but really i dont blame him for Newell.

So for me to really understand why fans think JF is a disease we need to first list all his managerial appointments and on paper were these good ones...compared to how it turned out.  My criticism of John is lack of direction with investment.   I think its all gone pear shaped since bra gate, chuca trophy fans forum and possibly RS...that the fans after all these years have had enough.  I also think Lincolns success hasn't made it any easier and has added fuel to the fire.

At Hartlepool he inherited a team that was already in an automatic promotion spot and almost cocked it up I believe it was the same at Luton, there can't have been any vetting of Neweeel because if there was they would have found out that Neweel never built a promotion chasing squad.

It’s about decision making and planning to make as sure as possible the Decisions are good ones
Good..
Hurst & Scott
Good..
Hurst to continue on his own
Bad..
Letting Hurst make to Many changes to squad after promotion (rocks of the team etc)
Unfortunate..
Hurst Going To Shrewsbury
JF didn’t want Hurst to go but Hurst had to take opportunity and fall out with fans (cupped ear etc) was not mendable
Brave..
Bignot, come on we all loved him at first
Good..
Bignot Going
Bad..
Slade
Very Bad..
Backing Slade
Dreadful..
Slade still having the backing?
These decisions cost JF and the club money and JF will feel that more than anyone as he is a fan
It’s time for another couple of decisions
Slade & Wilko Out (Good)..
Who to turn to (Nervous)..

What about Woods, Rodger, Newell, Buckley mk 3. Slade mk 1?

Wasnt it someone else that voted for NW i.e MP?

Buckley mk3 even i welcomed.  But unfortunately it wasnt to be an appointment i think was based on experience.  You have to adk yourself how you felt about the appointments at that time rather than just look at the outcome and think shite appointments.

Gardening leave. There's your answer. Not only will it keep him away from team duties but also my garden is in a shocking state.

Win win.
