We never had one for the Brexit vote! We still don't arguably!


And look were we are with that

Quoted from Pontooner
Totally get the point that JF is responsible for the long term demise, but I do think MJ (most peoples choice from a seemingly weak shortlist) has to bear responsibility for the team he has put in place.

Slade's team was poor, but Jolley managed to get enough out of it to keep us up. In my view, the main problem with last season side (apart from being dire to watch) was it's inability to create and score goals. So whenever we conceded a goal, it was invariably game over.

With that in mind, with his limited budget, Jolley's absolute priority surely had to be rectifying that particular problem.

Instead, he chose to basically rip it up and start again with an almost new side, but unfortunately, one which failed to address that number 1 priority (lack of goals.

We can only assume reasons why the club couldn't / didn't recruit to improve that weakness, but if the worst happens, I just hope those making the decisions can look themselves in the mirror, as the consequences are likely to be dire.

Enlighten me with the plan that's been so successful for the past 16 years!

The Poll question could be, should GTFC officially and publicly be put up for sale YES or NO?

Or

Should John Fenty step down as non chairman of GTFC YES or NO?

We aren't talking about the past though,this is about a change of ownership.
So what would be your ideas and thoughts on that??

It’s all to do with the one careful choice of poll question and not expecting an individual to have the answer to our clubs future.

One question is all that’s needed from the fans.

The problem is if we had a poll and say 80% said we wanted Fenty out,

He could just ignore it or say I will sell my shares and want my loans back and I will go,

So we really need a multi millionaire to step in,

Apart from David Ross who do you know fits the bill.

I think you all know I want Fenty out but how do we do it. ?

I imagine it will be like the first day of any departure.
At first there will be euphoria.
And then a bit more euphoria,
Then we will have a cup of tea or a beer depending on what time of day it is.
Then there will be a bit of trepidation.
Then the club will carry on as usual because unless John Fenty, who is a Grimsby Town fan throws his dummy out and demands his money back everything will carry on.
There is one problem and that is if the management follow him out.
But that isn't an insurmountable problem.

Lets face it.. Fenty would not sell if someone came up with the money as this is his little toy. He only says he wants out to shut people up . He sits in his little box in full view of everyone looking smug  and no one says a word to him. His 2 million is back pocket money in football terms and was put in years ago.

Who on earth stated that?
As others have said gauge the mood of all the support and not just make assumptions.
You seem to have an issue with all supporters having the same view as your own.


It's called "bullying on the forum"  If these same people lost a vote they would want another and then another until they got their way-reminds me of another vote we had.
