Yippee. Another JF bashing thread.


No it isn’t, most of it is constructive discussion .

Things have been pretty shite the past 15 years as we all know . Before JF took over the club was in a excrement position and he stood up and took it on . Although I don't know him personally I do know he's spent countless hours of toil at this club and yes made mistakes on the way but he deserves people's respect for the effort hes put in when no other was willing to take it on.Maybe the dice is finally rolling in our favour ,who knows ,but I for one appreciate he's tried his best for our club even if it didn't work out.

He’s been involved nearly 2 decades much of that sole owner  in which time we’ve had zero success ( non league doesn’t count ,absolute embarrassment we sunk that low ) I personally want him gone ASAP.  I don’t hate him but find it hard to respect someone whose been a total failure at running my club , from the Monday announcements to deconstructing flags the list goes on and on we desperately need change imo

Just want rid now. Understand those saying he deserves his loans back but sure he’s said himself that he wouldn’t look to retrieve the cash only to syphon it out of the club over the last few years leaving us going nowhere. It would also be easier to forgive the bad decisions if he hadn’t shown such distain for the fan base. All town aren’t we?

Just to clear up the deconstruction of the flag episode.
I was sat very close to that incident.  (And no I wasn’t with ‘Butty)😉

Said child was asked repeatedly to stop waving it so aggressively.
It was getting in the faces of the people around him and was extremely annoying and he knew it.
If JF hadn’t done something it genuinely could have been worse.  Had I deconstructed it, the child concerned would have spent the night with a rectal surgeon removing it bit  by bit.
I don’t stick up for JF too often, but was one of quite a few that applauded him for that.


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'

Interesting to hear another view of that story, if that is the case fair play, reminds me of that little excrement the Swansea ball boy who was "kicked" by Hazard that time. Must be something in South Wales.

I've never been a business man so have no experience to call on but lets hypothesise for a moment. Obviously it would be better if the club had current momentum on the pitch a la Lincoln a couple of years ago but do business men only look at the current situation? What about potential? If as "Big Dog" and others suggest the main problems are fan engagement/technical development etc. surely these would be easily remedied by someone with  vision?
I suspect anyone coming in would conduct their own "due diligence" and see that whatever problems are associated with a League Two football team in the case of GTFC a financially well run club in terms of balancing the books etc provides a good foundation.
This may be entirely wishful thinking but I'm not getting any younger and I would really love to see some lasting progression and to be able to watch MY club play again at a higher level preferably in a fit for purpose 21st. Century stadium...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Imagine if Shutes came in, negotiated a deal where a £600k loan became £2.5m of debt which rolled on for 15 years, oversaw 2 back-to-back relegations, sat and watched the longest winless run in the club’s history, took us into non-league for 6 years, allowed the stadium to fall into absolute disrepair, spent over a decade giving grief to fans, local press partners and other key stakeholders (the council, the police, local public), voted for the introduction of B-teams against the express interest of fans...twice, all whilst serving up gaffes and PR disasters on an almost monthly basis.

Wonder how much patience the bootlickers would have with him?
