Look at the thread and spot the spelling mistake....

I think that was one of the best interviews JF has given. Very honest and revealed what he could.

I have been/ am a critic of JF but I have never doubted he genuinely has the best interests of GTFC at heart. He has made plenty of mistakes of which i am sure he would say himself.

He realises it is time for him to step aside but wants to ensure he leaves us in good hands. Surely that's we we all want. Owners who can take the club forward. Plenty of clubs have jumped into bed with new owners without due diligence and look whats happened to lots of them. We dont want to become another Bury/Bolton/ Notts Co of recent times or the likes of  Leeds, Sunderland, Coventry and others from a few years ago.

Quoted from mariner91

Says that calling the budget poor is unfair. Claims that the budget for teams from 7-12th spot will be only about £100K difference between them and that we're not far off. So that's Fenty speak for we have a bottom half budget. Aim is always to be 7th or higher.

no he says difference from 7th to 12th is about 100k and we will be in that range, ie 7th to 12th.

he then says we're not far off a side that should have reasonable expectations of success.

He later says he expects to be in the top 10 in budget terms this season and if were managed well for that to be reflected in a good season.

The only thing that gripes with that is... its ok judging every other suitor but he is only taking out at the moment himself, its ok saying he wants to ensure our future is in good hands but the longer he holds the club the weaker it gets, the less attractive it gets, the less competetive we become.
In reality anyone who comes in and underwrites the potential losses as JF does (circa £300k was it ?? ) and doesnt take out £100k - £200k a season would potentially be taking the club forward.

I thought John did a very good job on RH tonight. He too will be feeling hurt and perplexed like most of us. He showed dignity, candour and stoicism.

I was talking to an AFC Wimbledon fan about this on Friday. They clearly understand the perils of such matters and his words, very well meant, were that it was better to have a chairman than no club to have a chairman of.

John Fenty has clearly had enough of people like me who have tended to stick the boot in. I get it. But I’d rather he hang around till we get someone who can take the club forward.

What interested meme was how he explained that the financial fair play rules meant that we could only spend half the money we made from last years cup run this year and the rest next year.

Baffling!!

Didn’t explain why the original statement referred to poor run of form. That isn’t relevant at all to the reasons given in the interview for Jolley’s departure. Who writes that stuff? Is it a club employee going off-piste again like the chief bouncer did?

A classic Fentyism, amongst the many, that tickled me was something along the lines of “that’s the wrong time to take on the local media”. yes, that stuff is best left to a fans forum  .
