Watch us get relegated and be replaced by Hartlepool, then be invaded by the 'Pool trolls once again. 
To be fair....they are MASSIVE....  |

That season under Jolley where we just stayed up, I wasn’t particularly årsed one way or the other if we went down. And really it was the same this season until we found out the takeover was on - losing didn’t bother me, the thumping at Tranmere was funny more than anything. Wasn’t my club anymore, it was Fenty’s plaything and if he broke it, that’s his problem.
But just as we’re finally free of that albatross, it kills me that his last act is to drag us out of the league AGAIN whilst disappearing off into the sunset with £2.5m of our money. It just feels so unjust, it’s infuriating.

But but but he’s a supporter like the rest of us, he’s done a good job and everything. There’s even people that support him and they’re all waiting in the woodwork to come out and pipe him off one more time...his mate Phil said so... Until the takeover announcement and PH coming back in I’d never never felt so disconnected from the club and the team. I get that Covid and being unable to attend caused some of that but I honestly looked at the players and the flipping idiot manager and it felt like I was watching some attempt at football and not my/our beloved GTFC. Fenty will swan off with his cash like nothings ever gone wrong and holloway will continue to pedal nonsense; Day, Marley et al will probably just disappear in to the background and return to being no marks. Meanwhile, we’ll probably descend in to the footballing abyss once more and probably take another 5/6 years to escape... I think we all predicted the vote would go this way, I guess now we’ll see how competitive the league remains and so forth. An Aldershot supporting mate reckons it could descend in to farce and thinks you’ll see a few more clubs furloughing players and the like. |

I suppose there is another get out of jail card.......someone in L2 could go into agmin and get a points deduction.
Yes, I am THAT desperate.
Let’s face it, the majority of The Fishy lapped up our bizarre pre season in the summer because they thought that exact scenario was going to happen. |

The club did. I’m convinced we planned for the season to be null and void before Christmas. Covid contracts, people still furloughed, unheard of Sunday league players, Holloway lost whatever marbles he had left, the club almost lauding it up because of said Covid contracts...now look. flipping morons. Everyone predicted Southend and their financial woes would be gone by now, it would appear not. Likelihood is that any club feeling the financial strain would probably make it through this season...next year is where it would hit them. Never in my life as a town fan did I expect us to be in a situation where we were begging for other clubs to go under or for a league to curtail early, to be sweating over our place in the league and so forth. Once I can go with, it shouldn’t happen but we know it can, but this is the fourth time now...all under the stewardship of one man... |

Some people on the fishy did also. I remember when Phillip Day did that interview about Charles Vernam leaving for free when we failed to activate the extension and some posters on this forum was saying how it was the right decision and the club has done the right thing. I remember when the Covid clauses cost us players and some posters on this forum were again saying how Covid clauses is a great idea as it stops us going bust. I remember when it was clear signings were being done on the cheap some posters on this forum were saying this was the right way to go assembling a cheap squad as the season will be null and void or 5 or 6 clubs atleast will go bust gaurenteeing our survival and we would be financially be in a better position next season to sign players. The same posters who were praising these decisions are now criticising the club for these decisions. Threads can easily be located for reference if anybody wants to argue against this. |

Spot on. The board spectacularly copulated up in the summer but let’s not pretend they were anything other than backed by the fans for doing so. It’s alright saying now in hindsight that it was wrong, I wish the voices had been that loud in the summer! |

Wouldn't have mattered what the fans felt or said. We are the best run club ever, so the cabal would just do what they were going to do, because they are always right. |

Clap trap I can't recall a majority of posts on here supporting the stance on Vernams contract, as I recall people were saying it was another Patterson, Buutterfield type intercourse up
