Just listened to it, overall John came across well I thought but I wasn't impressed by Terry Rudrum calling people who had asked questions as "Keyboard Warriors"

a case of 'compare and contrast' if ever there was one, in respect of last years car crash. can't fault a lot of Fenty's logic and hopefully this spirit of co operation can continue.
think that bigdog's post above puts forward some interesting ideas

I can confirm that the 7 year old girl that had her goalie gloves signed at the Xmas party has indeed now started playing junior football. Just not in goal though - sorry Macca.

Just watched it and credit to all for a very informative and constructive evening.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I have just watched the whole of the  Q+A   and was pleased with the openness of everything that was said,

John Fenty came over very well and even took the micky out of himself regarding his dress sense,

I have been one of his biggest critics in the past so I would like to say ( again ) I apologise for some of my posts in the past. As most on here know I do suffer with depression and while I am in a dark place I have come on here and go on and on about Fenty, I try to stay off here now when I feel a depression coming on.  .So  sorry  again to John and to the fishy people on here for boring you from time to time.

We are in good hands and until some Town fan with loads of money comes in and takes over John will have my full support

Micheal Jolley is special was said a few times and I agree we should enjoy him while he is here and support him the best we can like the board promise to do.


Takes a big man to apologise and to admit he suffers with depression etc Pete. Hats off to you for that. It's not a nice place to be in at times. UTM

Quoted from 1mickylyons


There was talk several years ago of I think Adam Pearson (formerly Hull City) getting involved to a degree I think on or around the time Great Coates was the preffered site of a stadium. Somebody of his type and his experience would be a great asset for us and I am only assuming he is fairly local? John Fenty has had a lot of flak over the years for many things but he can never be accused of hiding and I genuinely hope he gets this right and gets some plaudits. You are right he does need to listen and maybe just maybe he now realises that himself?


It has taken him long enough to listen. I put this same point on here many years ago I think in the days of Woods, that the board needed an Adam Pearson. The amount of actual football knowledge on the board was and remains very low indeed. Equally the acquisition of investment is a specialist business. That is what Pearson did at Hull and we still need it here, a proper executive with contacts and experience. Trouble is that it costs money and the lesson JF has never learned is that you must speculate to accumulate. You cannot just sit there constantly saying that nobody suitable has approached the club. You need someone to hunt them out. Someone of Pearson’s standing working with Jolley would be a formidable combination.

On the subject of OP, I listened to the Hurst podcast as I had insomnia last night. Correct me if I’m wrong but i did not hear  mention of OP once. I objected to his attitude towards OP far more than JF’s. Hurst always seemed to regard it as the fans getting at him and a burden of expectation ..... and he was right. That was why I donated - to give him a shove into being positive. That was only partially successful with a manager who would see an unbeaten run of 6 draws as better that 3 wins and 3 losses.  But without OP and the enthusiasm it engendered we would not have got promoted.

Nothing has changed and nothing is likely to change. The only thing that has happened recently is that the Board have stumbled upon Michael Jolley who currently has given the club some pride back on and off the field. Had it not been for that stroke of luck we would have been in the National League again.

Fenty has an appalling record in every respect, and the quicker he leaves the better.

Nothing could be more embarrassing than last years fans forum so congratulations to him for improving on that, but really if he can deflect criticisms of two decades of failure with some vague answers with no definite proposals on how to improve the clubs fortunes, then he is getting off very lightly.
