Quoted from lew chaterleys lover
Why does Mr. Fenty always talk in a language that seems to make sense only to him? There is never a straightforward sentence in answer to simple questions.

I have just read "consummate the facts" in the Telegraph interview. We all have our own ways of speaking obviously, but it intrigues me why he always searches for a difficult word when a simple one would suffice. To me, he always sounds like he is trying too hard.


Maybe it's his way of telling us there is still the potential for him to consummately F**k this up?

No slight intended, but I wonder what word he actually meant?

Quoted from Croxton


Wood will hide behind his source a la Matt Dean. If Shutes is spooked by untimely publicity our thirst for info will have been counterproductive. Keep your powder dry Liam!



So either his source is wrong or John Fenty is wrong.

I tend to the ‘member up’ rather than the conspiracy theory in most things. Think there’s a mathematical thing (Occam’s Razor?) which is sort of along these lines. So I wouldn’t be surprised if LW has misinterpreted or been given garbled information or got it from a misinformed source. Either way he should clarify with the source then either clarify the situation in the Grim Tel or confirm belief in the original claim.

Matt Dean did the latter in the infamous Woodhousegate.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The take over will never happen if they have been talking for a year and not sorted a deal out, somebody maybe wants to much money for it.!!

Quoted from RonMariner


Yes. At a shareholders meeting a couple of years ago. It was something along the lines of 'no previous owner has had to write off loans so why should I?'.  


Didn't Dudley Ramsden gift his loans to the club?

Think it was the opposite. In fairness to JF I don’t think anyone has written off loans of the absolute amount he has outstanding

Typical Fenty speak. Using a longer word to make him sound more intelligent, but selecting the wrong one indicating the opposite.

Every time ’fentyspeak, in public there is a new word or phrase, that I imagine he’s been practising in the bath.

Pilloried was my favourite.


you can take the boy out of grimsby......but you can't take grimsby out of his soul, his blood, his semen!

Bit like Del Boy 👍😂


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.
