flipping hell mate, your obsession with Freemo makes Fenty’s obsession with PP look normal…

Freemo was never a goer, other than some conversations between a tyre kicker who ultimately walked away once there was little in it for him to invest in…


If you’re on about Shutes, Freemo was not on his radar.

To be fair, Freemo definitely was a “goer” at one point, unfortunately all the ducks weren’t in a row.

I know, but I suspect, had Freemo ever been a goer he may have hung around.

I guess we’ll never know. He was portrayed as ‘tyre kicker in chief’ though.

Is he still involved in other regeneration in the Town ?

Was it? All that happened is a bunch of local weirdos calling themselves the "Free Men of Grimsby" made a promotional video and the club paid for a drawing to be made but there was zero movement on actual planning. This was just one of Fenty's last attempts at using the club to further his political ambitions before everything blew up in his face. They still haven't done anything with much of the empty space after raising money to have derelict buildings knocked down and failed to do the next bit where the old cinema was which was part of the planning for this whole complex that included a football stadium. In fact the only thing built so far was another homeless shelter to go with the one on Riby Square so all the hookers have another place to stay.

Fenty was out wasting club money on these vanity projects while also having the club pay for him to take it over the club as we struggled towards another relegation into the NL.

In reality, Fenty was never interested in Freemo, why would he be? There was nothing in it for him, hence his obsession with PP. Fenty only routes Freemo to get at the tyre kicker and flex some political muscle.

Sadly, his own greed and egomania cost him everything in the end.

Fenty frittered away thousands upon thousands on nothing more than vanity projects and homosexual packet ideas. Remember when they did those ‘open days’ At BP with the PowerPoints that looked like they’d been done by a yr10 student?

It was all about him and the hours wasted too, fans forums where genuine debate about the state of the club was needed but instead conversation about what food outlets would be in and around the ground, whether or not Derek could take a flask into a non existent stadium that was nothing more than a pipe dream.

All the while, the club fell further into a state of decline, relegations and ultimately relegations out of the league, twice and a club on life support, culminating in the greedy, egocentric, narcissistic owner engaging in conversations with a fraudster who was gonna bring football fortune to BP…
