Can’t even relax on holiday being a Town fan, why do we worry so much? The world is full of rich people who want to spend their dosh, I’m certain there will be a formidable queue when JF let’s us go.
I’ve had the runs all day, the wife said I’ve had too much to drink but I’m sure it’s because i’ve been reading the fishy all day and watching Town last night.
Good night from the Indian Ocean UTM❤️

Wow, I bet some keyboards are going to be sore in the morning!
This guy can't possibly be involved in running a football club, his conviction precludes that.
Nobody on here knows him, knows how repentant or reformed he is. He has paid his dues as convicted and everybody deserves a 2nd chance. Obviously Fenty has been involved with his associates for a number of years, and maybe he approached Fenty with good business opportunities and Fenty feels he is a reformed character and deserves an opportunity to make something legitimately.
Don't get me wrong, I in no way approve of his past, and what he did is despicable. But in terms of fairness, everybody should be given an opportunity to put right their mistakes.
Thanks for the update and justification John! Most of us with morales wouldn’t go into business with someone who systematically defrauded huge sums of money out of a manipulation of property owned by elderly people. He would have continued had he not been caught and has he even paid back everything that he stole? Doing something once is a mistake, repeatedly and systematically is not a mistake, it’s a horror and someone that I would not want within a million miles of me or my family. I’m sure had it been you at the sharpe end of this con you wouldn’t feel so forgiving?? And this is absolutely what’s wrong with John Fenty being involved with our club, he sees the business opportunities before moral fibre kicks in. Maybe it’s time to look in the mirror John and find some of your own moral fibre, grow a pair and start acting with a little bit more humility and respect for the fans and what we have done to keep the is club going.

Surprise surprise. pen penfras defends JF. I don't care how repentant he is. He swindled vulnerable people out of millions, both in Manchester and Sleaford. Had chauffer driven cars, lived in 5 star hotels and gambled huge amounts at casinos. This wasn't a "mistake". This was a concerted effort over many years to defraud honest people and line his pockets, so he could live a jet set life style. He doesn't deserve any leeway.

Given Fenty's history whilst running this club, I wouldn't trust his judgement on anything. Judge a man by the company he keeps. A decent bloke doesn't need a second chance from conning the elderly out of their savings and homes.

The author is a town fan to be fair, he writes about us a bit.
As for if Mr May is a reformed character and has paid his dues...maybe. But where has his money come from? He’s barely out of prison. If he’s hired for his expertise...well I highly doubt there’s any legitimate skills he has someone more suitable doesn’t.

In my opnion, people who con and swindle unsuspecting elderly people do not deserve a second chance.

Fenty just sees an opportunity for someone else’s money to be spent that he can kick into touch like he did with the Mullen’s. He does not care where the money comes from, whom it hurts just as long as it’s not his money being spent.

As far as I’m concerned, John Fenty can go into business with whoever he likes. When he invites that person into Blundell Park, when the fans can’t attend, and there’s a link to a company called Blundell Park Project, then that needs calling out. Under the name of Alex May, he’s already registered several companies under several addresses - hardly the actions of a man going straight.

Maybe he is a reformed character, but wouldn't the way to go about it be to present him to the fans/trust and let them see him for themselves and make their own minds up? I realise it probably wasn't meant to happen the way it has panned out, but Notts County had a look at him and turned him away. He's been condemned now because of the way it has come out and it will be almost impossible to persuade people that he is a reformed character when perhaps there was a slim chance he might have brought at least some supporters on board.

Pleased to hear from you. We were about to send a search party. What time will you be releasing the statement?
