Quoted Text
The club was left in a very sound financial position with 1878 not having to provide one single penny of investment into the club to date. Funds left on account enabled the club to continue its investment of the past regime in ground and facility improvements at Blundell Park, Cheapside and the Wintringham Academy, with major items such as new flood lighting, Led lighting in various stands, new heating systems and showers in the main stand, new disabled facilities and toilets, a new ladies toilet block, four changing rooms at Oasis Wintringham school, new heart and GPS monitors, Gym equipment, new ticketing system, pitch renovations at BP & WOS and the list goes on and on.


So are you implying that if the deal didn’t go ahead yourself and the board would have implemented the changes.

You say you want to take the dignified silent route but her you are trying to get the last word in

I find some of the replies a bit pathetic. There are constant snipes at JF on here and his name was being sung at BP yesterday & people on here pretend they don’t know he’s thin skinned and pretend to not understand why he’s come on here to defend himself. It’s time to move on. Leave him alone to support GTFC in peace.

It’s pathetic. It’s like the bloke with a lovely new girlfriend who spends most of his time constantly slagging off his ex rather than appreciating his new partner.

If I bump into JF at BP I’ll happily ignore him and not speak to him like I do to the huge majority of other Town fans. And anyone who verbally or physically abuses anyone at BP should be banned for life. BP should be a safe and happy place for all law abiding Town fans to enjoy their free time.

Well John now you have chosen to break cover,please have the courtesy to inform us plebeians if you knew of Alex May's convictions or that you failed to undertake due diligence No I thought not, you inane ramblings only go so far as serving your own interests.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Your arrogance amazes me John. You probably think that the 6000 + crowd, the smiles on the faces of both crowd and players etc is something that would  have happened anyway.
IT WOULDN’T.   Don’t think for even one second that 1878 are carrying on what you started. THEY HAVE DONE IT THEMSELVES. There is a breath of fresh air around  BP nowadays. That’s because the rotten egg has gone. And the rotten egg John is. YOU.
Getting your money back is one thing. Getting more than your money back stinks.
For legal reasons I won’t comment on the alleged financial mismanagement, but they certainly wouldn’t surprise me if true.
If you enjoy any success this club has, it should be as a Town fan. But NOT for personal reasons thinking you have helped. YOU HAVEN’T.  You held this club back for years. Your way forward was to have a disgusting criminal onboard !!!!!  Was your mate Mr May (if that’s still his name) with you yesterday ????  
Did you enjoy the last line of the new song.
AND WE DONT HAVE FENTY ANYMORE.  That’s to celebrate you going. (Just in case your twisted mind thinks it’s some sort of praise)
If you really are the fan you claim to be. Just be very very grateful that 1878 are digging us out of the hole that YOU got us into.

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

None of the other directors have left us in non league. Shouldn’t be getting a penny back.

I thought we’d gotten rid of the middle of the night statements.

Do you know what, I started writing this long critical post about all the things you did wrong and how you nearly killed our club.

Then i thought why? I realised, you're gone… we’ve got rid of you and you ain’t worth the energy. After 16 years, we’ve got our club back and when the history books of GTFC are written, your reign will be remembered for the failure it was.

One thing I will say though. The arrogance and ridiculousness of some of the things you say above just demonstrates beautifully why everyone is glad you’re gone.

Anyway, see ya John, even you can’t ruin my mood at the minute 👍

P.S - can the trust have that 200k back please, thanks!


All Town aren’t we

Dear Mr Facts.

You have done a lot of things for Town over the years. Some good, many less so.

The biggest positive thing you did, leaving. And even then you did it kicking and screaming and demanding those "benign loans" be fully repaid in such a way that nearly scuppered the very change in ownership that has resulted in the most positive atmosphere experienced since before you were involved with the club.  

Please continue to do a good thing by leaving the club well alone and enjoying the millions you are getting back. I don't even mind your final act of bleeding the club by getting all transfer money generated to repay your "benign" loans if you just leave us alone.  

Bye.

Leave it be lads. A narcissistic worm looking to get himself off by trying to be relevant. We all know that half of what he’s posted is absolute guff. We all know that the articles from Codalmighty which show what a bad’un he is are completely true or they’d have been summoned to court by now or at least made to take them down.

Let him think what he wants. Let him write what he wants. He may not have enough self awareness to realise it but the history books will remember him as the worst custodian in the club’s long history who nearly destroyed the club with his inept management and ended up being reviled by the vast majority of the fanbase and his hometown.

The cancer of the club trying to have one more moment.
John. The club is a million miles away from where you left it in a massively short space of time.

We have new owners who are excellent, who act with integrity and honesty. Owners that not actually say they want the best for the club but actually show they want the best for the club.
The summer transfer budget, the upgrades at Cheapside, the fanzone areas, the food and the ticket system.

You say money was available to do this previously? Weird as to why you didn’t implement any the above.

Finish off your bottle of red.
Take your ‘benign loans’
And ride off into the sunset for a lovely game of snooker at your house.

You might be a fan of the club. But you’re not a fan in the minds of any of us. You almost ruined us.

1878 are the future and intercourse me. It’s exciting.
