I would far rather Day be doing it than Marley.
Although I guess that’s not exactly a glowing recommendation 😕


A 69 year old retired solicitor versus a 67 year old retired accountant? Must be a close run thing!

Any solicitor versus any accountant. Age has nothing to do with ability as somebody with your nom de plume should know well.



“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”

Can't anybody give Fenty credit when he does get it right?

He got us Ollie, which for once is a managerial masterstroke, IMHO.m

The other thing he deserves credit for is steadying the club financially and not risking the club as Bury did.

Since financial prudence is his byword, I come to the conclusion that he has thought about financing the stadium and has a plan to deliver it without endangering the club and playing budget. He has been around businesses long enough to know what he is doing and I suspect he knows a thing or two about finance, which is a lot more than the financial experts on the Fishy.

One final point, whatever money we have to borrow, it will need a guarantor to secure it. Now who would that be?


I don’t think anyone is actually having a dig though are they.

I mean, I’d be the first to jump on that train but actually, those accused of being negative are just being realistic.

The questions that have been asked and continue to be asked are valid and show that actually, Honest John isn’t the only person who worries about the future of the club.

Day heading up any of this has rightly caused some anxiety amongst fans and the question of financing such a project will remain until it’s pretty much finished, may be even beyond.

I think far more have praised the appointment of Holloway than have been dismissive or cautious but fact is, we can try and justify that Fenty has been a shrewd businessman or kept the club afloat or anything else but after the previous twenty years, anyone not even slightly concerned or cautious will no doubt be the minority.

We all agree to the fact the club needs a new stadium and we’re all pretty much in agreement that Freemo is the ideal place but people are just not getting too carried away.

One step at a time guys. We dont have to worry about where the funds will come from, the board do.
Lets enjoy the rest of the season as it pans out rather than worry about things beyond our control.

Yeah not heard much negativity, just realism and a lingering doubt after being let down so many times before.

You can understand some quarters being a little but cynical when Fenty goes off on one of his soundbites... And especially laying the blame for the non-progress at phantom investors.

I wasn't aware that the proposed Shute takeover was a "phantom" offer and not legitimate. No wonder they couldn't make the January deadline if it never existed in the first place.

Apparently some of the towns U18 squad caught up with him. They ripped his face mask off and it turns out he was the caretaker from BP.

He would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
