So the talks havn't stalled due to Fenty actually wanting LESS money ?  


The delay  / lack of progress is NOT to do with the personal payment to Fenty please lets leave it at that

Rob, to be consistent, you should ban this post because Swin said he’d got facts from someone in the know.

Somehow I don’t think the same rule applied to Forza will be applied here.


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.

I have spoken to John about the talks and how they are going. I am happy, as a supporter (and a very small shareholder), with the approach he is taking, but it's something that can't obviously be publicised until a conclusion is reached. Much as I would like to see a change of ownership it has to be to the right person and with the club's future assured for the short to medium term.

This to me is a massive problem, we are pinning or hopes on the wrong man with a terrible record dictating who he thinks is the right man! I do not trust him to make the right decision for the club only himself.

That's a bit simplistic. Quite a lot of other people are involved. While the final decision may well rest largely with John (as it always would in organisation, him being the man who owns most of it) others will have their say on the process.

Times have not been great over the last couple of decades but there are plenty of teams for whom it has been even worse. I think the club would benefit from some fresh leadership as I think a fresh look at how the club operates would be beneficial. But that doesn't mean literally anyone is acceptable.

Stop talking sense and facts on here Rob, you will have to bar yourself from posting.

Whatever next?

Delete my post(s) if you wish Rob after all no fornicator will believe it isn't down to John Fenty anyway, everyone wants it to be his fault for holding things up

And therein lies the problem Swin. Because of Johns relationship with the fans he will be assumed guilty until proven innocent.  My own opinion (and I don’ t claim to be ‘in the know’), is that this whole deal is far more than just buying GTFC. I reckon it’s far more complicated than that. I think it’s pretty obvious I’m not on ‘Team Fenty’. But on this occasion I believe he’s getting rough justice from what we actually KNOW.
I still think there’s a fair way to go before we hear anything concrete one way or the other. And I suspect that when we do there will be plans involved regarding new ground, regeneration etc etc. It’s a shame John has bitten about comments on a forum, buts that’s how he is.
For me, I still wait in hope, but it’s hope more than expectation I’m afraid.


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'

Concur with this and also the GET reporting of this before it's got to its' final stages. But then that begs the question as to where GET got their information from.

As for the outcome, I'm hoping not expecting!
