I think he was having a dig at the club in his normal fashion.


I quite clearly said the league had to agree. That's not against the club in any way, nor am I against them.

I only point out that they basically do a lot of things Fenty did but get praised for it. Of course they have improved the food and facilities with better PR, but it isn't really what I care most about in a football team.

I'll bite. What are all the things Fenty did that they get praised for?

Yea, because the football authorities would never call off a game like Aston Villa vs Burnley with 2 hours to kick off.


Things change. My understanding is that Aston Villa v Burnley was called off late because of multiple positive COVID tests from those take on the morning of the game.

Games get called off late all the time. I don’t see how it’s different to our game v Boreham Wood being called of late because of storm damage or Burnley v Spurs being called off late because of snow. We don’t live in a perfect world.

Interestingly then, what are your feelings on how the footballing fortunes (to paraphrase Fenty himself) have gone in the last 15-20 years then?

Back to the new owners:   They are developing a wide-ranging support base at the Club.  Like a pyramid. This will enable future growth, “a high point” in the longer-term.  The best option for sustained success.

Boy, you are bitterness personified. Why didn’t you just go with JF?

You were still wrong. Out by a country mile.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The best option for sustained success is a manager and players that can get the club back in the EFL.

I suspect the support base would dwindle the longer we are out of the EFL.
