say you won 5 mill on lottery and not wanting to spend /blow it all on town ....... you have family to look after......... so negotiated a 1 mill buy out of Fenty's loans .......would you then ask him to stay on board in an advisory role to just guide you through all the complications /EFL meetings.... as lets face it none of us have a clue on how to actually run a club

Nope. I'd approach Adam Pearson (the guy who used to be at Hull during their move up the leagues) to see if we could tempt him to leave Rugby but stay with the "Black and Whites".

good question - one I have idly pondered in the past! I would prefer he was no longer involved, if he wanted continuing involvement then it would cost him on what I was prepared to offer.
Personally think he is probably pretty good at keeping a tight financial ship, but takes it way too far and ends up costing him more (not coughing up for a conditioning coach and longer contract for Hurst cost way way more than it saved), and hardly needs saying but he is abysmally bad at fan engagement, and has a dreadful track record at managerial and football decisions. I honestly don't think he would want to be involved if he was not in control though.

I would then write off my £1 million immediately and become the non chairman waiting for a new sensible investor to take over......doubt I would have to wait long.

If I win 5mil - I’d buy 250k of shares. And commit to buying further shares each year to fund the club (which you could do from the interest you get on a yearly basis on the remainder).
That sort of money isn’t enough to buy and run a football club on your own I’m afraid.

I have dreamt of this numerous times over the years though I actually win about 80M on the Euro`s and put half into Town. I kept JF on my board but I haven`t dreamt about Town in a long time.Seriously if I had that money today I would go to the Club open minded with a view to working with him.Given his history I would make sure I had the controlling interest.John Fenty gets ALL the blame BUT and this is my opinion the bloke is seriously handicapped by his board they don`t have a pot to
urine in he may as well have you and I sat with him.

And when people with money actually do get onto the board, how long do they last?

It's all well and good buying the loan out but you seem to have forgotten you'd need to buy his shares aswell.
