John Fenty - The worst chairman in EFL history?

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God

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

I don't think anyone has suggested you praised him.

But asking people to just let it be with Fenty is quite frankly like pissing into a gale with everything he's done.

Even this lunchtime we get the news that the club have absolutely shat on everyone once again by disregarding social distance rules and in turn have picked up a fine, even more expensive legal and investigation costs and then associated costs for the 3 clubs affected. From Matt Dean's report we're £18,000 down before we pick up the costs.    To put that into perspective, that's a big chunk of someone's salary in the GTFC office.  That's staff who were put on furlough and told they HAD to take a pay cut.  

Nah, I'll moan about him as long as I want.  The guy is a flipping stain on this football club and it pisses me off that he's going to walk away smelling of roses.  The thread title was a give away as to what the content would be, just don't open it if you're bored of it surely?

I won’t make any more comments about my views about Fenty...I’ve said plenty in other posts....but as far as other clubs despicable chairman then the bloke Oyston at Blackpool not only did massive damage to the club but was an absolutely dispicable person in his business as well. Think he would certainly be high on the list. His son wasn’t much better in recent times either.

He has to be top 3 and I refuse to believe otherwise

agree its a shambnles. but shouidnt players take some sort of responsibilty?

I would like to think he is the worst, but the club survives.....just.  I think any chairman that has overseen the club completely wiped out must be the worst. My earliest recollection is Bradford Park Avenue and there have been quite a few since

Stephen Dale @ bury has to rank as one of the worst club owners ever, absolute moron of a human being

I’m sure he is but he hasn’t had 16 years practice.

I always think of JF as the reluctant Chairman. I think he sort of inherited it by default as the last man standing and never really threw his heart and soul into it. Chose to run it as he would a business, which is ok from a financial point of view, but doesn't really get the blood pumping round the veins.

I think he tried his best, and there's no doubt he's a fan, but he never truly invested in the playing and coaching staff enough to make us anything more than functional. Was too old school and didn't embrace the changing game to any great degree. The ledgers instead of computerisation, the lack of belief in fitness coaches and analysts. His penny pinching on contracts to key players was fatal and he never endeared himself to the fans in any way.

I think he was just too prosaic and treated players as employees, just like the rest of the staff. There was never any great bond between the club and the fans, and there was just too much emphasis on the bottom line, which leads to a joyless and uninspiring time for all concerned.

Ultimately, entertainment was forgotten in pursuit of financial stability, and where's the romance in that?

Vaughan at Chester would take some beating. that was a horror show and they've never really recovered
