So why is he called a complete waste of time by somebody who is always having a go at him

Possibly because of articles like this?

Quoted from Grim74

I was told that a time period has passed and that section of Freemo with all them boarded up shops is now back in the hands of the Freeman’s, so there will be no issues ripping it down.

That would seem plausible- I think the Freehold on most of the land is owned by the Freemen. Anyone know who they are now?

I would love this to be true.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

It is a complete waste of time Fenty being a relatively rich man, it really is. He hasn't got enough money to be able to do something about a new stadium and he hasn't got the business acumen to be the catalyst for it either.

He is a complete waste of time.

His only hope is that the council pay for it as part of their regeneration plans for Freeman Street, and if that pipe dream ever came about I think we can rule out a league 2 version of the new White Hart Lane.

I take it you're going to step forward and share your all encompassing genius with the club? I assume, since you are clearly a business expert, that you also have great wealth, so I and the rest of the supporters thank you in advance for donating the funds and knowledge required to deliver this stadium.

I know 3 or 4 and you would be very surprised or maybe not.

The point he’s making is that Fenty has achieved naff all in respect of the stadium. I’d add that he’s achieved naff all at the club all round. In fact we’re worse off.

Don't know who the Freemen are these days but I wouldn't expect it to be cheap if they do have the Freehold. My Mum inherited a terrace house in the West Marsh from an elderly relative about 15 or so years ago and had to pay the Freemen an absolute fortune for the freehold before she could sell it. About a third of the value of the house if I remember correctly. When you consider the ground rent was practically pennies, it was an absolute con job. Same with all freehold sales these days, I understand.

Freeholds are complicated and can be expensive regardless of who owns it....the less time left ...the higher the price.

Anything less than 25 yrs and the price shoots up as they know you would struggle to sell the property without it,  as any mortgage lenders wouldn't see it as a secure asset.

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

I think it’s a cracking idea, I’ll probably be in the minority though 🙂.

The area isn’t in great shape at the minute and it’ll give it one heck of a boost.

Might go out and buy the white knight, might be worth it. Anyone used to drink in there?

I was addicted to video games when they first came out. Missile Command was my favourite and I used to go into the White Knight (and other pubs) just to put up the high score!
Sad but true. 🙄

Quoted from LongEatonMariner

I’m disappointed they haven’t issued us with PP GTFC caps as my Conoco Fuelling Dreams one is on its last legs.

If the latest rumours are true we could have caps with "Make Grimsby great again ". Well the conoco  caps were american.
