Fenty on proposed Shutes takover

I still don't understand where the initial £30-£40 million is going to come from. People keep coming up with hair brained suggestions and can't possibly live in the real world. If the council put money in the rates go up,-regeneration wont create anywhere enough, ABP are a private company only do things for profit. Can't get a bank loan. ????

Exactly this. no one is going to throw this ammount of money at a bottom of the run football club un less ther is clear proffit to be made at the end of the day . The club cannot get the funds them selves either. We need much more than just a new stadium so we can invest in better players without relying on gate money

Totally agree with previous posts , ABP don’t give a toss about gtfc Grimsby the town or anything unless it makes them money. The council are skint and poorly run and have been for decades so where does the money come from ? Regarding shutes I think he’s had a look and thought it’s to big a job and pulled out or just couldn’t raise the money either way means it’s not happening.

So where is this new money coming from to invest in players? You imply that the club is unsaleable. JF wants out and won't throw more money into the club and the club can't generate more funds themselves. It's all a Catch 22 situation and can only get worse , especially if fans stop going. I'm not being simplistic or sarcastic but what is the answer , especially knowing that JF wants out and there appears to be nobody able to replace him?

To be honest i think we are stuck where we are and will just tread water as best we can,, IF and it is a big IF , we do move to a new ground we need a bigger plot than freemo to have the space to put everything we need to go forward, Now i am no big bussiness man , but i do come from being a buisseness man , but i know that to move forward there has to be an advantage and to make more money from the move or you may as well just stay where you are

For what it's worth I read your post and understood it as you say mate.

Cheers.. i was beginning to think i was speaking a different language lol.

ABP Grimsby docks land is worthless at the moment no one will buy it.
But with a stadium project marina extension bars and possible apartments it starts to look more sellable.

Mr Corbyn says if you vote Labour he will build us a new ground then nationalise it then make it free to all that attend.

I agree with this, i recently spent a day/night in Hull and the fruit market area was really good, nice bars and restaurants and very well designed. I thought how good Grimsby Docks to become with proper investment and a forward thinking council. The only thing probably stopping it is there's still quite a few working fish merchants down there who probably have to be moved.
