We can talk about this till we’re blue in the face but there’s absolutely no hope till one man swallows his pride and accepts that there’s no prospect of winning over an increasingly cynical fan base. The John Fenty regime is past it, and was a long time ago.
A board made up of retired old fogeys with little or no grasp of real feelings for what gets the fans going, an increased dependence on fan loyalty rather than quality of product and a seemingly decreasing pot to iss in.
The fans are GTFC, Mr Fenty, not you or your nodding yay sayers. You’ve lost the fans and you’ve lost the club.

Nice speech but nothing new to what we already know and has been discussed numerous times. The question is what is the way forward or action required to facilitate change??

Ignoring the 6 years we spent as tinpot, 12 of the last 13 Football League seasons we've finished, or going to finish, in the bottom half of the League table. I make it 7 out of 13 that we've finished in the bottom quarter.
Is that success or failure?
Name any single part of GTFC that hasn't been reduced to tinpot over the past two decades other than maybe the matchday programme? We are a laughing stock and a football club that sadly very few people in the football industry respect anymore..

We had pretty much the same conversation this time last year, and nothing has changed: https://forum.thefishy.co.uk/Blah.pl?m-1523203521/s-110/And nothing will change until he is somehow forced out.
Sadly it`s my opinion now that only a boycott of Season tickets will force him out.

I totally agree but who ? I want this current Board to go as much as you but where are these mythical investors that are so interested in coming to the club? There is a general consensus on here to JF's presence is putting off possible investors but JF has clearly stated he wants out so that surely can't be an obstacle. If there is so much potential to have a successful league team here then surely even paying JF his " benign loan " would be a small price to pay for a current Football League team? Admittedly I'm no financial expert but surely the potential that is talked about greatly exceeds the cost of someone ( or consortium ) buying out JF completely , shares and all.
His mismanagement cost us 6 years in non league in monetary terms that had to be at least £3M . If he is the massive fan he claims and if someobody comes forward he should write off his benign loans which he says he already has in his head. The sad reality is there is no mythical figure wanting to buy the Club with or without JF involved at present . We have a rapidly ageing and fast dwindling support base if nothing changes their will be nothing at all left this Club is in a massive tailspin once again and the blame once again rests with Mr Fenty. HE MUST GO

Always the same. Plenty of Whingers. "Sack the Board" "Fenty Out"... So buy him out then, there's enough of you constantly carping. If it wasn't for Fenty, GTFC would have folded long ago. And I'm no fan of him either!
