Quoted from easypeersy
I do not understand Fenty’s logic.
He is a huge supporter of Grimsby Town and a multi millionaire.
If I was a multi millionaire I would invest like Swan has done at Scunthorpe.
Look where they are now!
Why will Fenty not invest into the club he says he loves!
Instead he is seemingly on a mission to destroy it!
Once again, I just do not understand!


But the word is that Swann puts in a least £300k per year, so simple maths is 10 years at least £3 million, at that rate with no chance of ever seeing that money again you would not be a multi millionaire for to long.

Quoted from Cambs Mariner


The reason is because right from the time he took over the club his vision was to build Fentydome.
He put the money into GTFC in the hope of making money,  building a new stadium was the only way he could make any.
Now that seems to have died a death he has given up and is hanging in the hope somebody will buy the club hoping he can recoup some of his very poor investment.
For a man of his alleged wealth a couple of million pounds isn't that much money not when you compare the average salary of a GTFC supporter who has paid week in, week out to watch games, bought merchandise, food and drinks on Matchdays, operation promotion and much more.


Exactly. He thought he could make money (seems laughable now I know) but my guess is that as he got deeper and deeper into the mire he had no choice but to hang on.He gave the club loans rather than investment in the hope he could get them back. The gamble re the loans has failed, and this should not be a bar to the club being sold.

About ten years ago Fenty was quoted as being the 84th richest in English football, source 4,4,2 magazine so he must have over 100 million. Therefore 3 or 4 million is a sound investment and would be no grea5 loss to him if it became a loss.
If he wasn’t such a twit he would invest like ALL other chairmen do.
I have always supported Fenty until this season but now I have decided enough is enough!
He actually is destroying a club he could choose to invest in.
Therefore it is time for him to go.
I would prefer the chuckle brothers, sooty and sweep or the Krankies to be in charge.
They would do a supremely better job of it!

And by the way much as I rate MKeown, I would like to know what the intercourse he was doing with his goal kicks today?
Four went deep into the side stand and after one of them it led to a goal.
Another went weakly and perilously close to their striker.
Basic stuff!
And... why does no one take a chance and shoot from long range!

I don't think he has anywhere near that amount has he?

Probably only a tenth of that. That's only from hearsay, i have no knowledge, but i doubt he has anywhere near 100 million.

I also very much doubt he is in the same wealth bracket as Swan.

Didn't Fenty's fish Co sell for about £30 million? He wasn't the owner of the whole thing, either, so won't be anywhere near the £100m mark.

I know on RH it was mentioned we rushed him back from his groin injury and he wasn't really fully fit but we were managing his comeback so he could play.  His kicking was the concern they spoke about with it so maybe that's part of the issue?

But we've already got them haven't you seen Fenty and 'Shut up' Marley?

Sadly the days of the local butcher, baker, builder, retired fish filleter running football clubs is the the odd exception, over. The whole business is now more professional (except at BP) and the sooner a consortium from anywhere in the world takes over GTFC the better. I don't care who it is providing they buy John Fenty out it can be IS, the Mafia or The Fourth Reich

10 million is still a lot of money.
If anyone else had 10million they would surely invest 5 million into a football
Club that is a huge part of their lives.
I certainly would!
