I bet your mental arithmetic is better than most Maths graduates though.

I've not properly read through the thread, so sorry if I repeating others.

But I feel the EFL will be extremely thorough when checking potential owners at the moment, as they've cleared copulated up in the past.

Having said that, whilst Fenty comes across well, and I like what he is trying to do for the club (make sure it goes the right way), we are only hearing what he is saying...

Shutes could come out and say, no, Fenty won't budge as blah blah blah....

I don’t think Tom Shutes needs to say anything- the deal is clearly dependent on several factors and I think Mr Fenty has made that clear (in a good way, by the way).
This isn’t just a bloke buying a football club, it’s a bloke buying a football club with a significant back story behind it.

Haha really?
Why would they start now after numerous misjudgements.
Considering we have no idea of the actual proposals I don't see any reason why either party need to comment.

It would be unfair for Shutes to comment and the gentlemanly thing to do to not do so, hats of to him for that. If it goes through we'll hear plenty of course, not so much of the talks - but the bright future he envisages.

I've no faith in the EFL to sort their act out suddenly so I'm hoping the 'out and out fan' in Fenty showing genuine concern for GTFC's future welfare is the actual reason for the requested assurances... And its not some other hidden storyline less honourable.

I don't know Rik. I'd be happier if I knew more about him and his plans. We've heard of so many takeovers of other clubs that have ended in tears. I want to know who is going to take over our club. I don't want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.

But what if the plans don’t come together and they rely on confidential agreements between several parties?

Tom Shutes is seemingly trying to tie various things together and I wouldn’t be inclined to jeopardise them just for the sake of satisfying the inquisitive fans.

Now then Kingston...

Seriously though, if any of the reports in the Tellywag are anywhere near true about the philanthropic side of Mr Shutes' personality are correct then it is much more likely to be a sympathetic takeover than some venture capitalists / foreign owner scenario.

It's not just being inquisitve though. I take what you say about the need for confidentiality at certain times. But don't you think fans have a stake in the future of their club? Collectively through the Trust and individual shareholdings, fans literally are stock holders.  Fans are the future and the present.

I'd want to know that whoever owns the club does have a robust plan and isn't going to turn out like the Bury mob or the Italian guy who owned Orient, or any of the countless other owners of football clubs who wrecked them. I'd like to know that someone on our behalf is doing this sort of due diligence because we know we can't rely on the football authorities.
