Sorry, but this man is responsible for the demise of a once proud football club over a period of nearly 20 years.  He's taking us to depths we have never sunk to before. He's sat smug at the top of the table as we wallowed in misery, he sat there reminding us that he drives a £80,000 car.  

He's insulted and upset countless fans with his attitude.  He's turned many fan away from the club they loved.  He's also going to walk away from the club with money that he doesn't deserve, despite the fact that the fans have put in so much more than him and at no point have ever asked for it back.  He's now dragged the good name of the club through the mud for his own grubby dealings.

His hands are soaked in the blood of this football clubs demise.

Sorry, if you want to just let bygones be bygones with this man.  But I don't.  The post title was a good indication as to the contents.


I never praised the guy at all...

I'm just bored of seeing thread after thread of people moaning about him, it achieves nothing and just fuels negativity around the club

The thing for me is, and always has been, the amount of times this club have shot themselves in the foot. If it wasn't so ruddy frustrating it would be laughable. Instead of building on promotion last time round and investing in the club and brand - what do we do instead spend the money on firefighting our way through - probably spending the same sort of money.
It is incompetence on a grand scale. Thank the Lord (fingers well and truly crossed) we have new and ambitious owners. Its the only thing keeping me going.
He may not be the worse - but his legacy will be one of abject failure on many fronts.

Our new troll will be along in a minute to triumphantly exclaim that only a few people have signed the petition so everything is all ok, and there is nothing to see here.

Everyone involved with the Fenty clan seems to lack any humility or self-awareness.

I am surprised at Philip Day though I must say. Allowing himself to be dragged through all this and ruining his erstwhile decent reputation. If he had stepped away as soon as he became aware of Mr May he could have salvaged something.

He has Been the worse chairman ( non chairman ) of Grimsby Town that's for sure.

With Holloway as the worse manager he has appointed and he has appointed a few.

Mostly on the basis of 'they can't be as bad as the last one'!

Over such a period of time, quite possibly, but at least he has kept us from declaring ourselves bankrupt like other teams. Surely those Chairmen over the last 20 years or so who have let their clubs go bankrupt purposefully are worse than our barmpot

Don’t need to go over all of this again but the loans, as opposed to share purchases, hamstrung the club over a longer period of time. You can also look at other clubs who took the decision to go into administration, and how much better they came out the other side.
