So in plain speaking you want him and other Board members to subsidise the club ? If they don't then your view is that they should be replaced by moneyed people who are.?


How about board members that attract outside investment. That come up with ideas to generate more income. That look to take the club forward.

Because quite frankly I could do the job they are doing at the moment. Apart from rimming John Fenty when he demands it.


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'

Fingers crossed that when the season ends something will change for the better.

It needs to else the ST sales will plummet.

New investments and quality signings would do the trick but we live in hope 🙏🤞

It’s all gone quiet on the rumour mill which isn’t a bad thing at all, or is it? 🤔

Let’s stick together fellow fans and show MJ and the Board what they could be missing next season 💪

You nailed it till the final sentence. I can’t think of a single positive generated by this calamitous cacophony of cockends

The owner of a football club has a lot of things going for him, at least potentially. He can select a board that brings other things to the table and get things done. He could work with others from in and around the community for the good of the club. He could and should be able to bring people together and get people around him that can attract investment.

Most of us would like a dynamic board with a vision for the club, and the plan to achieve it. It is really not too much to ask.

As for money, it is indeed extremely important and it should be a central plank of why the owner is there. Becoming some sort of insurance policy in case of a bad set of financial results is commendable, but it hardly sets the pulse racing. Football clubs live on excitement, a sense of purpose and the hope that next season will be better, but there simply has to be a plan; ticking over isn't an option as slowly but surely you will get pulled towards the trapdoor. Other clubs we are competing against, will readjust, will find ways of finishing above clubs that are static and unresponsive to changing circumstances. Some clubs who we have never heard of are about to overtake us.

I don't suppose you can be happy with the board? I'm not and I want change. Not change for the sake of it, not just to have a moan. The club has been in the doldrums for years, and the current board, or members of it, have presided over the demise and show no signs whatever of stopping the slide.

Perhaps there are talks going on behind the scenes, lets hope so, but the club is the lifeblood of the fans, and those fans no longer with us, and they deserve better than nearly two decades of thin gruel.

The club needs a shake up from to bottom; it needs access to new people with new ideas and new money and it needs a sense of purpose to give the fans something to believe in. It is not too much to ask for the owner to start that train of events.

We had pretty much the same conversation this time last year, and nothing has changed:

And nothing will change until he is somehow forced out.

It's another year of waiting for football fortune, another year of a 'competitive budget' and another year of finishing in the bottom half of League 2.

Mr Fenty is overseeing the agonisingly slow death of our club.
From the very start of his watch he's had no ambition or clear vision of how to take the club forward.
Fenty out


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

It's a green tick from me.



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

Tell me when we last showed any scrag end of ambition at board level? Fenty is very reluctant to even back Estadio del  Freemo so there’s buggerall hope of signing ‘hairs on the back of your neck’ signings, football fortune or the tide coming in or any of the other tired metaphors that he trolls out when he even bothers to address the fans.

If John Fenty and the other board members aren't funding the club then surely anybody without money could replace them.
