Was he baulking personal attacks or disagreement with what he's done/not done?
To quote one I read, ' stop posting articles on the guardian you flipping fanny and appoint a manager ' |

This isn’t meant as an attack on you but how can we move on when a (increasing?) section of our fan base can’t identify that these changes have happened:
In late 2020:
- Town were a laughing stock in the industry (people in football, including other club owners, thought Fenty was an absolute joke!)
- Fenty and Holloway sought investment from Alex May and god only knows who else
Now:
- We have an improved reputation in the industry
- As far as we are aware, JS and AP are not about to sell the club to a convicted fraudster
Just those points alone are a huge, positive change.
All of us will have our own thoughts about what JS and AP have done right or wrong but those two key points are surely the most important.
We will win matches. We will lose matches. We might get promoted. We might get relegated. But the fundamental point is that the club exists and is something we can be proud of.
I’m very proud to be a Town fan. Much more so than I was in late 2020.
I don't post a lot but I agree with every word. 100% there are fans but not on here anyway that have forgotten what Fenty and Holloway was "allegedly" doing as a last throw of the dice. Alex May was a convicted fraudster and was only sat in the upper with Fenty. if the rumours was true that idiot was trying to buy the club and would of took us to the cleaners Obviously its all hersay and rumours but if any of it was true then how can Fenty ever call himself a true fan. Like you said JS and AP may have done things wrong here and there but They're a massive improvement on the last custodian of the club. |

Seems to me JS is loosing his mojo for running a football club.
He is probably putting in more money than he wants to and sees no end to it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he steps down at the end of the season and takes a back seat.

He will be anyway because they said they’re doing fixed 3 year terms as chairman so don’t be coming back with smart arsed comments when he does step down. |

Loosely linked to this with comments about social media at the FF:
I’ve seen on Twitter that JS has blocked a few of the, shall we say, less positive Town fans. Not sure I can agree with that stance personally. When you can mute people. It just doesn’t seem a good look to be blocking dissenting voices and also creates a bit of an echo chamber.

Just because he's chairman doesn't mean he should be forced to subject himself to abuse. Perhaps those "less than positive" fans should find a way of airing their opinions that doesn't involve tagging people on twitter |

So mute them and not see it or turn your phone off 🤪 |

Why would blocking people on his personal twitter account create an echo chamber? Like he's said many a time before he's happy to hear other opinions even if they are on the other end of the spectrum as his. What he doesn't agree with is certain individuals taking it that step further and tagging him and directing abuse at him and there's certainly been a few of those. |

If JS decided to go can anyone blame him
If had not had a 65 year addiction to the club, would I still support them…..probably not.
Might as well support Manchester Arabia City…..
But I won’t. I could never enjoy so much stolen success

I don’t remember him saying anything about going, he’s frustrated, we’re frustrated. He’s not daft, walking away would be a massive admission of failure and I don’t think for a minute that he’s that kind of person. |
