Stockwood interview: debt to be cleared early

Quoted from gtfc98

How did you say you and John are related again?

Now you're hearing things, time to see a specialist.

"Now this will start a pile on with oodles of Red X's  (Must find out what they actually mean...."

If we reach 30 you have to delete your account.

Ooo ooo I am salivating. St. HTH.
But wait a minute, are you "following" me? Bit weird. Something happened to you when you were young?

Quoted from GrimPol

Mariner91 Aldi_01 the bile coming through is horrendous. (You'll have to enlighten me on how the Telegraph (Grimsby?) and Lloyd Griffiths saved Our Town. Always wanting to learn)

You remind me of some Charlton Athletic fans years ago, the same toxic bile put upon Curbishley whose crime was keeping CA in the Premier League , but just in never top 4.
So the pile on. Arguments to the contrary as "you know Charlton fans you are punching above your weight just being in the PL" never made any dents in their "we have been so wronged!" cries. Curbishley left year earlier thean he should have. Just remind me where Charlton is right now?
To follow the herd and never see any upsides is your thing, I think individually. You see things Black or White (no pun intended) I see the shades in between. You accuse me of, what exactly? Saying the truth that we have a Ground and Small debt when other clubs are going to the wall.
What I say is that you are wallowing in a historic cesspit whilst turning on yourselves, whilst I'm smelling newly mown grass of BP which we own and watch the lads go through their paces at Cheapy even with one dartboard.
I think I know where I'd rather be.

Because the reporter, who's name escapes me, and Lloyd Griffiths reported and raised awareness of Fenty's shady dealings trying to get a convicted conman involved in the club. Subsequently uproar from a previously largely complicit and apathetic fanbase led to Fenty's downfall. The club needed it too. Without that I doubt 1878 would have been moved to come in because Fenty would never have relinquished control. You think we'd have got promoted with him still in charge last season? You reckon we'd have got average attendances of 5600? Not a chance. It would have been worse than the first relegation because people wouldn't have forgiven him this time around.

It's absolutely nothing like Charlton. Curbishley got them in the Premier league and punching above their weight for many years. Fenty oversaw the worst period in the club's history. £1.5million is not a small debt for a club our size, particularly when the club's infrastructure and reputation had been ruined through years of mismanagement. Nobody is turning on anybody. I'm over the moon that we've got great new owners and a professional club again, as are most on here. But I'll always respond when people try to whitewash what a shitshow Fenty's management was and what a turd of a bloke he is.

Quoted from It Bites

Ahaaaaaa . Alan Partridge is back . Missed you Alan 💖💖

One accuses me of being John, the other of Alan Partridge. Make your minds up.
But then that's all you have, derogatory remarks, no substance.

Big overlap on the Fenty/Partridge venn diagram to be fair.

Not whitewash at all. But you quote LG's tweets as the absolute truth.
In business when you columnize Pros and Cons the hardest is to give them weighting.
Is low debt (1.5 mill is low in this industry) V perceived reputation? Owning one's ground V position in the league. My weighting is not your weighting, that is for sure.
Not knowing on which rung of the ladder 1878 found GTFC because your interpretation would be GTFC was on the bottom rung, other clubs (Scunny) haven't got a ladder, they are in a hole. You don't want to see any positives, I acknowledge any positives.
I'm glad 1878 bought GTFC, but I'm sticking to my opinion which I think is more balanced, and I'm not wallowing in historical cesspits.
You lash out at anyone that doesn't have groupthink or follows the herd, well that's fine.

Claims not to be a Fenty bit uses the phrase 'columnize pros and cons'.....

You do have a point there, I have to admit.

I tried to keep the 12-year-olds happy.
You happy?
