Mr Fenty

To save another 50 odd pages of the same stuff regurgitated it could simply be put to an end with:

Time for a new approach. And much needed. Club behind others on and off pitch. Fresh outlook, overhaul on what works/doesn’t, improve on all, re-engage with community,  carry on the recent match day stuff for the youngsters - build your base again (supporters young and old)- work with not against.

You don’t need millions, or have to over spend - or issue threats - people will support if they can see what’s been done. Engagement - effort- community bond.

Quoted from Ipswin

Perhaps you should, then you wouldn't try to be such a clever fornicator.



Please let no one knock Fenty for making sure whoever buys the club is not a rip off merchant. We must not let our club pass into the wrong hands.

Be careful what you wish for, the criticisms and faults of Fenty could look insignificant if the wrong man / men get their hands on GTFC

You will not find a single comment from me criticising anyone for the length of time this is taking. In fact, quite the opposite. I said at the very beginning it would and should be a long process.  And that is rightly occurring.

However, some of JF’s new found allies appear to be using Bury to somehow defend his record.  You pointed out the disgraceful people that took over at Luton. I countered that, by pointing out they now have a VERY successful board and investors.  

A man of your intelligence reduced to slagging me off and swearing tells me I’m getting something right.

Perhaps if I  buy your book you’ll start defending me too 😉

I don't think this thread was really necessary other than Team Fenty trying to score a few points, all this been mentioned in other threads.

Yes I'm grateful Fenty saved us and that he a fan that doesn't want to see us go to the wall, but our record doing anything more than barely scraping by is atrocious.

What's happened at Bury has obviously emboldened some folk into selective amnesia. I know a football club's for life, an aw that, but think of the money you've put into the club over the last twenty years and then ask yourself if you've ever had anything resembling value for money? Could it have been better? because if not then to coin Captain Mainwaring "We're doomed"

Quoted from Civvy at last

No, you queried whether the video link depicted the 'disgraceful people' takeover or the later successful one. It surely must have been clear even to you that the link was posted as a result of a) the Bury disaster and b) what could happen if Fenty didn't ensure Shutes or any other consortium was properly vetted. You knew damn well which of the two I and the video were referring to.

You will get something right eventually and buying the book would be a start

Quoted from MuddyWaters

It beggars belief that Team Fenty appear on a forum thread and use a charlatan owner like Steve Dale to justify 15 years (and I’m being polite) of let downs, underachievement and abandonment of the club’s fans.
The one thing I’ve heard all day from Bury and Bolton fans is how Dale and Anderson have disconnected from their fans. Sound familiar?

So, from the 16 red crosses, I take it that there's 16 people on here that are happy with GTFC's current relationship with the fans? Or proud that we've failed to finish in the top half of League 2 since 2005/6?

recently sat through a "motivational speaker" event at my work........the speakers message seemed to be a similar one to the Fenty Defense League ....."be grateful it could be worse, we could be Bury " ....this speaker in particular had been unfortunate enough in life to have had his mother killed by Peter Sutcliffe.....but his message/ mantra, if you can call it that was very similar...
"when things arent going right just think, it could be worse, your mum wasn't killed by the Yorkshire Ripper" !!

Yay, wooo , go go go...we aren't Bury and my mum wasnt killed by the Yorkshire Ripper.

Suddenly i feel like i am living the dream and have no worries in my life.  

I have been critical of John Fenty in the past but I'm certain he has the club at heart.
I'm also pretty certain that without him, we would be in a much worse situation.
No comparison between him a the Bury owner, that just highlights how fortunate we are to have a genuine fan at the helm. He's stuck with it when many, including myself (town through and through) would have said stuff it all.

Fortunes on the pitch are often kick started by luck...signings...good managerial appointments, etc. Look at Lincoln gambling on 2 teachers and winning.
John may well have done similar now by appointing Jolley (I hope so)
There has been no one else to take over the reigns during his tenure (it's delusional to think otherwise)and since Peter Furneaux past way, he has been almost single handed. A lonely place.
Many on here seem to take it to a very personal level. I feel it coming as I type but objectively, the Bury situation has focused my thoughts toward gratitude and relief that it isn't us and JF has been key to that.

He’s done an interview with Grimsby Independent today. Should be available later this evening.

Fenty nothing but a failure at GTFC 15 years of failure, wrong policy's and poor decisions, wont listen to anyone else, always knows best, believes in Austerity which never ever works...He's a disaster and a nasty Tory too...
