Has he gone yet.!!

Let’s be honest people are not queuing around the block to buy the club this Fentys chance to get out get some of his money back and move on.
If Fenty wants 2.5million i would pay it neither would anyone with a brain, just wait in the wings until we go into administration.
Season tickets and match tickets will be down massively if he stays so he won’t be taking out his 150 grand this year.
Maybe putting in another 350 000.+ or even worse going down.

No businessman is going to want him involved in any way or paying him back so much a year.
No one can work with him as has been proven.!

It’s a deal John take it or leave it.!!

John Fenty knew what he was getting himself into when he decided to ‘save’ the club. He must have known that this wasn’t going to be a money-making venture.

If he was never in it for the money, and saved the club out of the goodness of his heart, then I don’t understand why it’s now all about the money (unless he’s gone on record to say he’s not bothered about cutting his losses for the benefit of the club’s future).

It's pretty clear from my time on the fishy that regardless of how good or bad JF has done people just don't like him and his ways.  That's their views which I respect.  

I'm not 100% sure how or what Fenty did and said back when he 'saved the club'... But if he did say its loans and he will just have them back if and when possible then I say he has every right to get every penny back.. Love him or hate him it's the right thing too do.... Ii assume he hasn't paid himself for all the maintenance work he's attempted around the ground etc.. I genuinely think he's a proper town fan and wants what is best for the club but we all are that, doesn't mean we'd be able to run a football club.

Nobody is going to pay him "every penny back" so we would be stuck with the status quo forever, and he would presumably want to take his loans back by instalments as it appears he has been doing.

Nobody can expect to run a professional club in their own image for many years without taking a financial hit, if they have been unable to run it succesfully. Of course the same would be true  in reverse - if he had made a success of it and maybe profited from the sale of BP and business interests connected to a new stadium then he could have walked off with all the profits.

I hope the two parties can come to a sensible agreement, but Mr Shutes will presumably walk away if the deal is not suitable.

I think the Telegraph played a blinder by making it public knowledge and they have backed the club into a corner, the board knows they are under immense pressure to get this takeover over the line and the board will know if this doesn't happen they will be public enemy number one

Just as well most of the work done is of a very poor standard and needs redoing .Fenty could be on that rogue traders show.....

I was sat very near to this, Newport adults encouraged the child. A flag with a stick should never have been allowed in.

You mean like the black and white flags on sticks that the shop sold?  

This takeover/investment has gone very quiet

This takeover/investment has gone very quiet

It was also pretty quiet for the whole year before it was leaked as well...
