Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56
But to be fair from what has been revealed thus far this is what JF’s stance has been throughout and he has never disclosed sale was imminent. Believe he was interviewed Christmas time (?) and he said at that time there had been interest but he had never been satisfied funding was available.

Was told all about the new ground and getting approval for that but why is a mystery to me for all the reasons about paying for the stadium that have been raised on this forum.


Fenty has been waiting on proof of funds from the beginning. Shutes has declined to provide this so the question is why if he has genuine interest in investing in our great club?

Fair play to Fenty who gets plenty of stick from us is not just selling to bail out but is genuinely looking after the clubs best interests by wanting an investor who has ambitions to grow the club not asset strip it. Come on Shutes, put your money where your mouth is!

If I was a betting man I'd say this was Fenty just being difficult and expecting the world, and not really wanting to give up his train set.

Some big assumptions there seen as though JF only stated he was waiting for proof of funds if the club took a downturn. Lots of factors could be in play and JF can be economical with exact truths on occasions to suit his own agenda.

And as for being scared of someone asset stripping GTFC, we haven’t got any assets to speak of just historical debt, and if someone’s looking to sort those debts out, they should be afforded a lot more respect..

Has it been confirmed yet if Shutes has passed the EFL fit and proper person test if the deal has got that far yet.. don't they look into the background and funds available?

We've been waiting on proof of improvement for God knows how long.

Regards the club's best interests, I'm not sure how six years in the non-league were in the club's best interests.

I'd say Team Fenty just bolstered their squad by one.

It looks like the Grim Tel’s report that he had was premature. Normally the club being sold asks the FL to conduct the test when the deal has been done (subject to the test being passed).


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.

Fenty’s primary concern is DEFINITELY Shutes being able to fund the ongoing success of the club, and not getting his £2.5m loans back, no siree!

If Shutes offered him £2.5m cash tomorrow he’d be out of here quicker than you can say “devalued product”.

What I’d like to know about Shutes is, if someone scratched his car, would he feel it important to tell a meeting with supporters  what the car cost him.

This! It’s not an ethical stance it’s about money.
