Dear Mr Fenty

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I think the Trust undersells itself Ian - most of the most sensible stuff I've seen from the club in the last 5 years has come from members of the Trust and I genuinely believe that, given the opportunity, the Trust could & would recruit the skills needed to run the club.

I know I rattle on about Newport but, according to my friend on Newport's board, this was one of the things that scared them. But now, they've all found their own little niche and are making a success of it because they have a passion for their club.

Quoted from Shoeless Joe Jackson

If you build it, he will come...

Quoted from barralad

Wondered how long it would be..As someone who spent a lifetime working in the public sector I can assure you that I possess none of the business acumen, experience or indeed the skills needed to run a professional football club. I would be quite happy to work for whoever took on the role if my services were requested. There's a difference between putting your head above the parapet and walking into no-mans land.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

PS and where has the ‘business acumen’ and private sector experience of the club’s directors got us Barra? You could hardly do worse.

PPS a community owned football club would have more in common with a publicly accountable public service organisation than a fish merchant business anyway.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

More than that, a club run by the fans for the fans would bring hundreds if not thousands back through the turnstiles.

Quoted from Ipswin

Not if the team is once again relegated from the football league due to crap players and manager being signed on the cheap

It matters not who owns or runs the club  if it fails on the pitch, and it will continue to fail unless a large amount of money is injected and however great the increased attendances are because the Trust in in charge will still not do that

Better to ask Fenty to double his benign loan

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Have a bit of vision Swin - I accept it might be a pipe dream but our club in a new stadium run by people who want success rather than a return on investment, engaging with the community - even an old curmudgeon like you might forgive the odd wrong decision here & there.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I was saying what you normally say and hinting that that’s regrettable. Why are you so touchy about that?

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

I am surprised, no amazed, no gobsmacked there has not been a concerted "Fenty out" chant at home games. I cannot believe the majority of home fans are happy with his regime, and its running of the club.

I must be wrong though, as bar pockets of Fenty out chants there has been a deafening silence from the majority.

I thought the tide would change when Woods had his ridiculous run and the board kept him on; I thought the tide would turn when we went down; I thought the tide would turn when we spent 6 years in non-league but still the majority at home games seem to sit there unmoved.  

I don't know what the answer is, perhaps people have been fed the idea so often that if it wasn't for Fenty we would not have a club at all.
