Quoted from Rik e B
Isn't he married to ross's sister or something.

Hopefully the delay so he can make an entrance with a big bang. "This is what we are going to do and this is how we'll do it".


David Ross's sister was mudered in 2006 when her ex husband stabbed her and her new boyfriend in her house near Market Harborough, then he set fire to her house, they both perished!

Regarding Mr Fenty talking about the new palm sculpture, at least we now know what happened to the part of the floodlights taken down.

Quoted from drbell
Im always so split on the 'Fenty' debates. I strongly believe he has always tried to do the right thing for Town. Without him (given the lack of alternatives) we would be in a much worse situation.
However, its hard to argue with the people complaining about a lack of PR and Media saviness when we hear the surprisingly interesting news that he and Shutes agreed up on a price months ago. If this is information we are allowed to know, then why wasn't it revealed more widely some time ago? That would have got rid of so much mumbling and blaming of Fenty for what is always going to be a long drawn out process.


why? It does not take much to understand that long term funding of the club is the issue here.....fine it you want him to sell for selling's sake fine

dont come back here i 2 years time when we are still in L2 questioning the player budget...and the general upkeep of the club

I would like to see Shutes actually come out and say something. Why is he buying the club? What are his ambitions and goals for GTFC? Instead of having a pop at Fenty maybe we should be asking the question, why has Shutes not come out and said a single thing about this proposed take over????


He can't until he takes charge. You cannot give your ambition for a club until you own it, that would be most disrespectful.

Quoted from heppy88
The most alarming statement for me was Fenty still proposes Peakes Parkway would be the best location for the new stadium. He mentioned it twice and sounded dismissive of all other options. The problem is as head of regeneration he will have sway in this area.


I agree. As a so-called head of regeneration, it is a disgrace that Fenty still favours PP. I don't know how the guy sleeps at night.

It would not surprise me if the club officially pursued the docks until Freeman Street is lost to housing. It will then be announced that infilling is too expensive.

Another possible location is the western edge of town, but that is reliant on the A180-A46 link road being built. Future generations will wonder why the club didn't secure the logical Freemo site as soon as work started to demolish the flats.

If it happens, Peaks Parkway will forever be known as Fenty's Folly.

I dunno. Could be part of his pitch to win people over. I’d like to understand what the vision is before he buys. Know next to nothing about the guy.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Come on Kingston - ANY vision is better than what we have now!

It is not up to us who can or cannot take over - we will judge the new regime on their decisions and progess, or lack of, in due course.

Give it sixteen years to form an opinion, should be long enough.
