Mr fentys regime is coming to an end.Little bird tells me that someone is taken fenty to court and all will come out.If what comes out is true He is finished.
Whilst I hope you are correct and would love to know more, I would advise caution on a public domain. !! |

I’m all up for criticism and the waving of pitchforks when required - but that’s just patently bullsht, isn’t it?
Not much of a secret club when they publish their minutes on a monthly basis and people are welcomed to come down and sit in to view the discussions before deciding whether or not they fancy joining in. I’m sure a prominent member of this forum plus an esteemed local journalist can attest to that happening within the last month.
And I’ve no idea where you’ve come to the conclusion that membership is limited when almost every single official (and most non-official) utterings from the Trust or their members has included a plea for other people to get involved at all levels. As for the “boys club” comment, it would appear 3 of the 11 people around the table at the last meeting were women - not a perfect gender balance by any stretch but certainly better than the one at Fenty Towers!
Yes I can. I’ve been looking at going down for a meeting since the infamous fans forum and managed to sit in on a meeting a few weeks back. I can say that I did not see anything that would constitute a boys club whilst there. |

If you’re going to make a point - or raise something - at least post under a name, or be known by others - posing under these stupid alias’/quotes whatever is bloody stupid. In my humble opinion.
Personally I’m more liable to take note/listen to those who have the interest/passion/talk sense, a forum is for debate,raise topics etc - if you’ve nothing to hide or say anything libellous then what’s the problem?
Apologies, but it does my nut in.

Surely by now we know that Fenty is Fenty; There is no chance of any proper investment in the players or the facilities or spectator comfort
Perhaps he should put some money in and simply increase the 'benign' loan - oh no I forgot, that's not what we want is it? |

All we are asking for is a team that can compete at this level, I think fenty has had enough of it all a bit like the chef who no longer loves to cook, it shows in the end product, sadly it will be the club that suffers in the end and therefore us.
At Lincoln I bumped in a few old faces from the pontoon and it hit home to me just what this club means to people.
It massively frustrates me what is being allowed to happen right now, we won't go down this year but do we really want to put up with this excrement year on year, the fans deserve better. End of rant.

It is OK former Trust board members coming on here calling for change at the top, removal of Fenty, but what put Fenty in such a powerful position in the first place? That's right, the Trust's decision to gift Fenty all those shares. Who was on the Trust board at the time? They should have canvassed their members to make the correct decision (ie hold onto the shares!), unless the carrot of a place on the board was too much of a temptation for those who were "self-serving" (not my words...).
Either the Trust board at the time:
1. Welcomed the hand-over of shares in return for the much coveted seat on the board.
or...
2. Lacked the foresight to see what the consequences of the hand-over would be. This should have been made clear to their membership.
Whilst I vehemently disagreed at the time, and still point out from time to time what a strategic error this was by the Trust, the Trust did canvass its members. They voted by quite a large majority to support the motion to give Fenty the shares. |

In the time JF has been at the Club he has put in £2-3M and that`s great. In that time though just on home ticket sales the fans have probably put in somewhere in excess of £10M+ so who really bankrolls the Club?T
JF loaned the club c£2m. And put £8-900k in in shares. He hasn't put £2-3m in. He is still owed c £2m and holds the ground in security against that debt. |

The trust running the club would be worse than what we have now. A secretive boys club with limited membership whose board members resign at the slightest disagreement. At least Fenty had hung in there.
We need to wipe the slate clean and form a new group which is properly run with the support of all the fans without any of the existing trust board members.
That's so factually inaccurate as to be almost libellous. It is open to anyone to join and participate. It is a regulated company with publicly declared articles of association and a written constitution. The fact you, or I for that matter, don't agree with all its decisions and strategy doesn't mean its a secretive boys club. In time honoured fashion: GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. |
