I wonder if Fenty is still planning to increase the price of STs? 😂
Let’s hope he’s walked by then

One thing he could do is offer the players a very large bonus for survival, even if it is his final act before handing over the reins. Most of them know they will not be wanted next year, they are just serving time out. Let's give them something to play for, it means the world to us, but to most of them it's next to nothing.

Yes maybe a pot of £200k should just do it.

I agree. this was suggested by someone (might have been you Rob) a couple of weeks back. If it's successful it'll be cheaper than relegation. If it's unsuccessful, well nothing lost.

In all honesty I do care. Please forgive me as I write this I know I'm drunk. I'm sick of 18 months ago we had a decent group of players and now we have journeymen, loanees and wasters.
Who do I blame? Mangers? yes.
Non-chairmen who have chosen managers? yes. Non-chairmen who have penny pinched? Yes. Non-chairmen wo have made the same mistakes of employing crap managers? yes. The most unforgivable error of all - disbanding a good squad from 18 months ago to employing journeymen, loanees and wasters of so called players due to penny pinching who do I blame for that? Mr Fenty. Thats who. I call it unforgivble because we've been down this road once before. We've employed, in this drunken state I'm in, if I recall correctly, in 2009/10 and look where it got us. Relegated, that where it got us. Make a mistake once yes. Make a second mistake of the same order. Flipping unforgiveable.
I am sick of error after error. I cannot carry on with this. The way I feel we can be relegated and I wouldn't care. To my mind we're down already and I've given up and I'm not intrested anymore. I mean I really couldn't give a excrement anymore.
Mr Fenty. Thank you very much for destroying whatever joy and sense of belonging I got from attending matches. I blame you Mr Fenty for destroying what Grimsby Town FC meant to me. 28 years of attending matches from being a kid to the adult I am now. destroyed.
I am honestly in tears as I write this but go to H.ll mate. The state I'm in I ca nt recall when you came on the board of when you beame chairman so I'll go with best guess. Look at the perm managers you've chosen. (Yes I know this is easy with hindsight...) And yes, this is a very brief review of the managers you've appointeed
2004 - Nicky Law- brought in to save us from relegation after Itv Ditgelal fallout. Failed. Wrong choice 2004 Russell Slade- poor 1st season, almost got us promoted 2nd season. despite the way he left, Good choice. 2006 Graham Roger - dispanded a decent squad, sold Rob Jones, Reddy not player he was due to injury. Backwards step.Cheap choice as manager.Wrong choice 2006 Buckley 3. - Out the game too long and football has changed. Failure. Wrong choice 2008 Newall - One would have expected you to have quiet words on the side with your fellow chairmen to see what thier experiances where. total failure. Wrong choice 2009. Neil Woods. Decent guy, wrong time wrong postion. Netraul on if it was wrong or right to appoint. 2011. Scott and Hurst. Hurst got us promoted, Scott we got rid of after problrms. appointment half right. 2016. Bignot. Has to be wrong choice based on whats happened, unable to control bugdet, lost players. wrong choice 2017. Slade 2. Shipped out remaining decent players. tatics didn't work. wrong choice.
So whats that, 1 and a half good appointments out of the last nine? It's a joke.
The club is a Joke. Destroyed whatever joy that i get from being a supporter. Mr Fenty, I feel my heart has been ripped out. Grimsby Town. The team I love. It's a disgrace. From loving this club as a kid, 28 years later I find I don't give a excrement anymore. I don't want to come anymore.
Mr Fenty. Thank You for Killing the Joy for me. Go to H.ll mate.
In your pi.shed state you make more sense than the regime have.

Wasn't it said that bonus payments must be part of contracts lodged with the EFL/FA before the season starts? Any additional payment COULD be seen as illegal and result in points deduction/automatic relegation? If true we have to relie on the players for survival. Not a great thought

There'll be ways around I mean don't we have an accountant on the board who can find a way of facilitating this 😂

You should be ashamed. I couldnt give a excrement if i get bollocked for this, the one bit of joy ive had in my time supporting town was wembley 16 when we got back to the EFL. You and the board with your penny pinching your cost cutting your hopeless appointment and pesistance with slade and wilkinson. 2 fuckwits who havent a clue. Its over John, we are finished. The fans have gone. Noone NOONE believes we are staying up. The feeble “ stick with us” issued out by the drones each week, we dont want to flipping hear it. We’ve had it, we’ve had enough. No matter if we do stay up, do you really think the fans are gonna come flooding back? You’ve ruined everything we achieved through promotion. And when we go down next month John, believe me, you wont see me or 2000 others back, because you dont deserve us, we are taken for granted, treated like excrement, and for what? For our team to be humiliated week in week out. Had enough. intercourse me i pray we can survive, i really do, but its not happening. This time john, we wont come back.
I couldn't say I always agree with everything you post but you are spot on with this.
