Perhaps some people won't be aware of things in the article so it's good to look at how we ended up in the places we did and the toxic environment the boardroom became. Plus how many things Fenty did at the club with hostile and aggressive actions like his takeover in itself. He was ruthless in forcing his will with threats and got rid of his opponents to replace them with cronies.

Yes a very well researched article, very comprehensive.
We shouldn't ignore the past, we need to learn from it, so in future the likes of fenty never get as close to destroying the club as he did

Agreed although there were a few at the time that knew these things, they were all in the public but people believed his nonsense that without him there would be no club. I can hand in heart say that the pro Fenty morons that sit near me will still think that article is all nonsense...they used to argue with the actual facts. Fenty himself would argue with those things. We can move on but it’s a story that needs telling, fans deserve to know. If they then still choose to ignore it then more fool them... |

There are a few on here given the number of red cross's people get for any criticism of Fenty & Co.  |

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
A very good piece of writing, incredibly well researched. It really puts to bed the myth that has been cultivated around Fenty, that he was some benevolent philanthropist who stepped in only when the club were staring extinction in the face. The article lays bare what may be seen as the intimidation, the bullying and the machinations which led him taking a stranglehold over he club over the course of a number of years. This is the most comprehensive and accessible summary of Fenty’s shenanigans I’ve ever read, and it’s only Part 1. Parts 2 and (I imagine) 3 will be illuminating as the wheels come off and the behaviour becomes more and more erratic.

What I’ve never heard before are the machinations that went on before he stepped up his involvement in what was it 2004? |

There were always the stories doing the rounds of the bullying and his nonsense diatribe against anyone that dared challenge him... Are those who see he can do no wrong or think he did well the bury their head sorts or is it a blind love? Like the bloke near me at the match, he literally never blames the club or players for anything. It’s always the Referees fault, the weather, the manager, the physio...anyone really, except the club or players which is odd. He once blamed the ref for great through ball for the oppo and good finish Becauee the ref obscured the view of the centre half apparently...is it these types that believe the Fenty nonsense? Is is these people that ignore hard facts Becauee they genuinely think the club would’ve gone to the great football graveyard in the sky? |
