Does the Trust have the acumen to force Fenty out.

Regardless of shareholding Fenty controls the club by dint of his loans.

Quoted from GrimRob

Can we put on hold storming the Bastille until May?

Bit of preparation never hurt anyone.  

Quoted from Cloudy

In theory it could be, but in practice Mike Parker will not involve himself in voting at all and I have no idea about Newman.

Fenty believes he is safe at 43% and he is probably right sadly

The whole thing made Parker ill last time so I doubt he’ll be back , I’m all for the dodgy ticket tout buying us out how much worse could it possibly be  

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Regardless of shareholding Fenty controls the club by dint of his loans.

He does but he has also signed documents that his loans can only be repaid if and when the club can afford to do so.

In theory he could be voted off the board and not get his money back until such time as we had enormous football fortune!!!

Fenty does not want to lose money he’s to tight.
With very low gates he will either have to fund it himself or go into administration either way he loses his money.
The club could start again re AFC Wimbledon they are doing ok and moving back to plough lane.
The ground is worthless to any developers as the demolition costs would overshadow the land value which is only suitable for terraced housing.
The trust need to be more forceful and stop kissing Fentys backside.

The Trust have publicly stated they do not have the will to 'run' the club. The Trust board members mostly work full time. I think the way we remove JF is to pressure him to reveal how much he actually wants for his shares and the 'benign' loan. He has been very vague and will be looking to get as good a return as possible which is fair enough. I'm not sure but I think he owns around £1.1m in shares and has £1.8m in loans so around £3m. That is the noose around the clubs neck. Ideally we need him to name a price instead of vague soundbites about 'no barriers' etc.

In respect of the opening statement I can only guess that The Trust is actually the current board?

If there were a few skilled operators who were elected to the he board then that stance may change.

I am of the opinion that The Trust should always represent its members and if they want the Trust off the board then that must happen, no question no delay.

I reckon £1m cash would make him consider writing off the rest and walking away to enjoy his retirement. Anyone, or any group got that sort of cash?

I too think an offer of around £1 million would make him think very carefully.

This discussion is a bit pointless as the situation is in flux. So much depends on whether we go down. That is what will decide Fenty and even then he is stubborn enough to hang on for a while to see what actually happens to gate numbers. It looks very unlikely that a coalition of plotters could agree a plan to buy or force him out financially so I would repeat that Fenty will go when it suits him and not before, especially if we stay up. He is thick skinned and hard headed when it comes to the money business. He may be prepared to lose some but how much and over what time scale?

Having said that, this situation has reduced his personal credibility to zero and probably ruined any hope of a new ground, certainly in the short term. So it depends on him ..... does he cut his losses and skulk away or does he try and ride it out? History would suggest he will do the latter.

It's more like £975,000 in the 2017 accounts, but your point stands.
