The whole point of crowd funding is you give away money you can afford to lose

I'm not going to let FFS or anyone else with extreme views tell me what I should or should not do with my money.

I don't agree with a single letter of the original post, I think whoever posted it is just a troll trying to stir it up.

If you want to get fans going, then I suggest you go on the scunny site, and rev them up about their next manager, and leave us proper fans alone.

We will only have a black hole if they don’t manage to get us the fans back into the ground. This also needs to be sooner rather than later and for me should be at the expense of no away crowd to allow as many home fans in as possible.

I must admit that I would feel happier about the Club if the one and only director with money came out and declared his stance on things. Is he going to cover any deficit or not? I’m led to believe that he does not want to put any money into the club however I fail to see him letting it go under as he is the major creditor that we have and therefore his own money would be gone!

Whatever you think of that rant...

Shutes and his consortium were/are expected to provide proof of funds incase the club faces hardship, but it seems the current regime aren’t prepared to put any money into the club at this difficult time. You only have to look at recent club accounts to see how much the club has repaid to JSF in the past few years. That’s money that sat in the clubs bank account would make a huge difference to the club right now.

The current board like to paint a picture that the debt to the owner is because of ITV digital and a historic HMRC debt. But 2008/09 and 2009/10 we lost £2m as we spunked cash in a successful and then unsuccessful attempt to stay in the football league whilst paying off manager after manager and useless player after useless player.

To put that in context the £2m that we overspent in those 2 years under Fenty’s watch is greater than the debt which is still owed to him.

Personally I think he doesn’t deserve to be repaid the money as it was his decision to spend it in a desperate attempt to repair his abject running of the club.

One hundred percent this...which is why not any crowd funder will receive a penny of my cash. I haven’t heard or seen a single board member put their own hand in their pocket...perhaps they shouldn’t have to but it might show a sense of solidarity and support for the club. If they have then I’ve missed that one.

People can have their view on the original post but whilst those stank their feet and say they’ll do whatever they want with their cash, same as you can choose your opinion on the running of the club and any potential free money they’ll get...

Everything switches round to JSF bashing - it's about time we started blaming him for the virus - now that could really take off.

I don’t think there has been any Fenty bashing, just a representation of the facts.

There’s plenty to bash him for but simply stating he has taken money out of the club whilst none of it has seemingly contributed to clearing his loans is fact.

Extreme Views ? . Seriously ? . I think you have been watching too many politicians . It's a lazy argument calling someone extreme for having a different view of things to yourself . Here's an extreme thought for you. ...... Don't type anything without thinking it through
