Fenty Out

Quoted from rancido

But who would you get in to run the club ie Chief Executive?

Someone better than what we’ve had recently.

Quoted from rancido

But who would you get in to run the club ie Chief Executive?

You pay good money to get an experienced and go getting Chief Executive, who has day to day control of affairs. Someone with charisma, an easy style and the ability to  get things done and bring people on board.

To be honest, we need a whole new boardroom, made up of people with the requsite skills to turn the club around; in turn they would employ people with the drive and energy needed to drag the club out of the doldrums.

However you package it, we need a new start - and pretty quick if we are not to lose a lot of season ticket holders and the few floating fans we do have.

What Fenty tends to do when things are going south is to sack the manager to give a short term lift to the club, but it needs much more than that now.

I totally agree but it still comes down to making a decision which could go either way - success or failure. Then you have the question on who decides who is suitable to make that selection process in the first place?

People point to Fenty being the one constant over the years but so too has Ian Fleming. What is his business background and what does he actually do for the good of the club?

A clean sweep - all the directors swept away with new directors bringing in their own trusted people to run the club, and some new people with fresh ideas and energy. The current lot should not be near any of it, making decisions or otherwise.

It won't happen, but it makes me feel a bit better having a daydream.

In a perfect world, it would take somebody in the mould of Adam Pearson who got Hull moving in the right direction. Somebody of that ilk, who can pull a lot of strings but hasn't necessarily got the funds themselves. I met him once and he was a great communicator, a very likeable guy and most importantly he got things done.

I haven't followed his progress since Hull so I don't know whether he has continued to be a success or not, but he was when I met him and somebody like that would do wonders here.

Wasn’t his dad Chief Exec before him?

I point you to Bolton
In one hell of a mess, has just been sold
Arguably with a lot more potential than ourselves and with a relatively new stadium, etc.
Let's see how long the new owner lasts, he was after Pompey not so long back so not a Bolton fan.
JSF is no ones ideal head but he is solid.

Well if things stay as they are, we are going nowhere, other than at some point, down into non-league.

Yay, we're a solid lower lg2/Non league club!

Ups and downs come with football, don't they? Depends a lot on individual personalities I suppose on how you view our situation, and of course there is always a risk that things could be even worse under a new regime. That is a risk I am prepared to take to get a bit of excitement and ambition back, and see the club become more like its old self. Others might take a more cautious approach, but if they are not careful the club will die of boredom from the paying customers.
