No please! I was just taking the urine after hearing him absolutely torn up for arsepaper on Talksport by the former Palace owner (he's Belgium based anyway thank intercourse)
No idea who it is but just told that there is an interested party who wants to invest but would have a “frontman’ in place to carry out Day to Day running. Whether it will happen is anyone’s guess but information is genuine.

You were, as many do, trying score a point yet again against Fenty by suggesting that he hasn't invested any money in the club this season.
As another poster points out the term 'invest' infers at least a repayment if not a profit which is why I said that no one in his right mind is going to 'invest' in Grimsby Town Football Club
Actually he hasn't 'invested' anything at all in the strictest sense of the word over the years but he has supported the club, as an investor would, by putting a lot of money in, not expecting a profit, but always getting criticism when he simply wants repayment
Wow, You’re easily ‘bought ‘ Swin’. If I buy a copy of your book will you be my mate too ??

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Before JF joined the Board I can't find evidence of any " investor " in GTFC who didn't want his money back.

Exactly but because Fenty wants his money back he gets a hard time. Yes things have been shite under his leadership but thanks to him the club still exists and is capable of being shite

No, but there's one who hasn't after he joined the board. Because it's not happened here isn't the point. There's loads of other clubs that have benefitted from investors not wanting their money back which should be a more appropriate yardstick to measure against..

If we had gone into administration instead like many other clubs have, it could be argued that we may not have fallen so far from grace with better management or someone else stepping up to pick up the reins with the debts written off. On the flip side, we could have fallen further, but let's all not be too happy or grateful about surviving for twenty years..

They're not investors then, silly sods with too much money wanting to own a football club as a plaything maybe but certainly not investors 'An investor is any person or other entity (such as a firm or mutual fund) who commits capital with the expectation of receiving financial returns. Investors utilize investments in order to grow their money and/or provide an income during retirement, such as with an annuity.'

In the strictest meaning of the word, you are correct. But some people invest in football clubs for many reasons other than pecuniary gain, enjoyment, legacy, status, philanthropy, etc etc etc. Still investors if they buy shares..

I wouldn't argue with that but my point was, many posts ago, that the type of person Grimsby Town are looking to attract (and what we were talking about at the beginning) will have to be be a very major money man who wants to invest in the literal sense of the word rather than throwing his money away. Those wishing to put money in for enjoyment, status and pure love of the club are thin on the ground. We've already got one of those and everyone is complaining about him because he wants his money back (without any profit)
