Quoted from oldun
Please explain how Fenty leaving will increase the amount of chances being created and the ability of players to hit the target?


Obviously, it wouldn't in the immediate term, but it is the bigger picture we are looking at.

Can I just clarify the following in layman's language? The fans buy the tickets, then that accumulated amount is to be used for the playing budget. Fenty then decides how much of that money can be used on players / staff wages to make sure he doesn't have to make up a shortfall, thereby incurring no risk?

In the unfortunate event that he does have to cover a shortfall, he lends us the money so he still doesn't suffer any losses - at least in theory?

If I am wrong about that no doubt someone will be along shortly to put me right, but for the value of having an insurance policy (Mr Fenty) we have had next to no investment in the club for years (bar the fans ticket money) and all that on the back of investing some money in the club some 17 years ago.

In that time he has enjoyed full and total control and all the trappings that go with it, very little risk and has overseen a dramatic decline in all aspects of the clubs fortunes on and off the pitch in all the years he has been in charge.

If this is the sum total of it all, I think it is justifiable for fans to be calling for change.

Brilliantly put Lew. Even the hard of thinking shouldn't struggle with that.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
