Quoted from GrimPol
For a man that "left the building" some time ago JF is still haunting some on this forum.
They're the ones who had such foresight that they knew JF would mess it up before he even joined.
And the ones who are self-flagellating with cat o nine tails and they should have done this or that whilst they could,
Just stop it, you're making my pixels run on my screen.

Now this will start a pile on with oodles of Red X's (Must find out what they actually mean. I'll pretend that they are signes of affection for now  
It could be much much worse, but it wasn't.  Not that long ago people were sighing and pointing to Scunthorpe as a model we should follow. Then there's Macclesfield, Oldham, Bury, Rushden & D, Chester, Aldershot remember them ???
So yes JF ran the management side bizarrely, with more U-turns than the government,  but the financial side was good. Yes, I know you just choked on your coffee, but the fact that the club is paying off its debt earlier means it was a low-debt club. You can't have it both ways.
And there are the media (Poor old Matt Dean and Radio Humberside). They are all over Grimsby now but wait untill we have a few bad runs, and just when you need them most, the knives will be out. Let's not forget RH's  roll in one of our manager's demise. Trust the media? As much as I trust some on this site giving PH a bad time Feb/Mar/April. Short memories eh?

We have a club, a ground, a manager, a squad, a few points wouldn't go amiss, and you are argueing about ancient history.

The reason that Operation Promotion was a terrible thing for Fenty and co is because they couldn't claim the plaudits for it after it worked.


I always thought part of it was it made it very difficult for him to take any money back out of the club to repay himself. Hard to take a £100k donation from fans towards the playing budget  then pay yourself £200k back.

Fenty's legacy in half a sentence, can't we just leave it at that and move on.
Quoted from mariner91


the worst period on the pitch in the club's history.

I'd never join the Trust after the 200k debacle because what would they do next when the pressure on!!!


The Trust didn't make that decision, the Trust members did in a democratic vote, with a bit of arm twisting from he should not be named.

It's easy to save money when you let the stadium and training ground fall into a terrible state because you won't pay for any upkeep. Even easier if you oversee the worst period on the pitch in the club's history.

1878 have already spent a lot of money from their own pockets improving the training ground and the stadium to finally bring them up to the required standard. The only reason Fenty didn't create financial issues was because the tight git allowed stuff to become run down instead.


Quite right.
But we still have a Ground, and Training facilities to bring up to scratch, others, that this forum drooled over, don't. You have a well rehearsed blind spot, I don't.
So when you moan about someone, ie. live in the past, have at least some honesty and gonads to say bits that were ok, if few and far between, but meaningful nevertheless. If your good metric is a guy spends a lot of money, then let's hope a Sheikh buys out 1878 (lets not worry about human rights).
Like someone has said previously, you can't drive a car by just looking in your rearview mirror.
Having said all that all we need is some points on Saturday.
Nobody ever got 3 points moaning about the past!

The Trust allowed the Fenty commentary to become the truth. They were manipulated.

They were drugged and brainwashed, then replaced with replicants.
