Releasing Davis and Vernam, signing 30 young players that Holloway’s mates had recommended to him, but who he couldn’t be bothered to watch himself.

Fenty, only had 1 plan and that was to make a f**k load of money out of the stadium (that never happened) deal.

He was probably a good fish merchant but knows f**k all about moving a football club forward.

There’ll be an Adam Curtis documentary made about us starting with a scene of Fenty being carried on fans’ shoulders at Bournemouth.

Not doing a ‘Barrow’ and sticking with a manager not achieving what he was brought in to do.

The (alleged) Fenty and Newell ‘Rumble in the Car Park’ would definitely be like this...

All started right back in 2016 when we dismantled the side that got us promotion in the first place. We should have built on that side and PH left only a few games in. I suspect he'd have stayed had we been more ambitious. Bignot was then a disastrous appointment as someone who wanted to change the world just when we needed stability. Since then we have been playing catch-up and it was inevitable we'd spiral back down into the bottom two at some stage. Holloway was the final nail in the coffin.

From Championship to NL, again, via L2 is the achievement of the Fenty years. Failed to invest in the team, failed to invest in the stadium, and failed to have decent training facilities.

His only success is to get all his money back plus the extra £200K of trust shares. What a reward for the failure of Grimsby Town and his lack of care for the club and fans. A load of sh!t.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
