More to this appointment than we think?

That's definatley fake news 100%

You may be right but, like I said, it was suggested to me by someone who would know so I believe it true.

Again a big difference in Holloway's appointment here..
He's bought into the club, he wants to be part of a project so IF he did have approaches from other clubs maybe it was the fact we offered him more of what he wanted and there's weren't prepared to accept him for that ...
Really don't think it matters one jot, he's here with us, that's all that matters...

All I was trying to say was to back up what IH had said publicly with a conversation I'd had with a good friend.

I believe IH is genuinely delighted to have the opportunity to take us forward and on this basis I'm not expecting any curveballs within the bigger picture of ownership etc. coming though IH. [my opinion].

Seemingly there are plenty of clubs at our level looking for the young modern thinking manager opposed to the guy who has had his chances...even if he's been successful. Recruitments have been done on fitting a profile which IH may not fit.  

Can't remember the last time I was this excited to be a town fan - probably not since Bonetti. UTM.

Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis

Fenty 43%
Mike Parker has £500,000 (22%)
The Trust has £320,550 (14%)
The Mullens have £130,000 (6%) shares
John Elsom £75,500 (3%)
Andrew Newman has £25,000 (1%) worth of shares. (dodgy ticket tout?)

Me being a bit slow here but, it’s always said on here that Mr Fenty “forced” the trust to hand over their shares, so just wondering how the trust still has 14% and if the trust had not passed some shares to Mr Fenty what would their total be now?

So this is what I think happened but please correct if wrong.

Mike Parker bough £1m shares which took him above Fenty's % and Parker became the major shareholder so had to offer to buy everyone else shares including Fenty's.

Parker then gave £500k to the Trust taking Parker to his current level of £500k and the Trust to £520k. Fenty then did his thing and threatened the Trust with selling players and the trust gifted Fenty with £200k and not the full £500k it received of Parker.

Slight correction. The Trust donated £250k worth to Fenty.

It was "only" around £200,000.

A drop of £200,950.

The accounts up to May 2012 show Fenty's shareholding going up £400,000. Half that he bought (turned loan into shares) and half he extorted was gifted by the Trust,

Maybe the trust saw the transfer of shares another way, one Mr Fenty would understand, they said they would loan him these shares for the good of the club at that time but eventually would expect them to be returned, I think the actual description was that they were a “ benign loan”.
