The company he set up to try and buy Notts County was renamed yesterday from “Meadow Lane Project Linited” to “Blundell Park Project Limited”

🤔 Don't like the fact there a fraudster in their midst, I'd prefer Shutes for his vision and probably Fenty who at least a trustworthy steady hand. Need to know more

AH lets use this one, better title!

The part about the convicted fraudster changing his name and being part of the consortium that tried to be County is erm...interesting.

I assume he would still be connected with this guy?

Slade is involved?  ;D

I'm sure JF will show plenty of diligence before signing the club away as has been shown with the latest Shutes takeover bid.

Might be worth a bit of early fan resistance. Would an online petition actually do any good? Would be nice for the club to come out and make a statement (ideally distancing themselves), but that's probably not gonna happen.

Think he was also involved in the ill-fated Wamdue Project.

Must steer clear.

Maybe this might move things along at a faster pace?  All of a sudden we've potentially got TWO interested parties, and TWO possible stadium sites!  It's scarcely believable, but could we actually be on the brink of this club actually moving forward?!

Indeed. They should have never got rid of Andrew Ridgely

Taxi  :B  :B  :B

I've every faith in Fenty not passing the batton on to a crooked consortium, hopefully it gees up Shutes & Co. knowing there are rival bidders.

Non starter

Absolutely not. The guy obviously keeps bad company. Give me John Sheldon Fenty any day over those types.

It would appear that Mr Fenty knows nothing about a new bid. But he gives a bit more info on the current state of play.

Are you saying he isn't one? Shame on you. Typical Fenty knocker.

Talk about dragging on. I am assuming that Shutes is struggling to raise the funds. The last thing he wants is to be the owner but stuck in the relic that is Blundell Park, I suppose. He needs serious money to build that new ground.

"We have been working with Tom Shutes to acquire the football club."

🤔

Perhaps its more putting together the grand masterplan intertwining the Greater Grimsby Project and the Club et al than simply a struggle to find an extra few hundred K.

Even the vehement among us (me included) regarding GYFR vacating the boardroom and new faces coming in, would be very sceptical of this type of acquisition.

No connection to the club or town, a string of failed club ventures behind them, god knows what business plan, and the use of shady front companies. No thanks.

As much as we're desperate for the Shutes bid to stack up and for JSF/GYFR to move from the Directors' Box back to the terraces, recent troubles with Bury, Bolton and now coming to light at Scunny have left me pleased that GYFR is doing due diligence.  Even more reassuring is the fact that this so-called "Proof of funds" test is not about GYFR holding out for money for his own gain, but to make sure the club has a financial buffer, and presumably also to make sure that things like debt-financing and smoke-and-mirrors stadium leaseback deals aren't part of the plan.

I think we all need to just keep being patient.

Don’t know about everyone else but I’ve just about forgotten about the takeover- enjoying a semi decent season with matters on the pitch being fairly enjoyable 👍👍

Although Fenty has received his fair share of justified criticism on this site, we still need to be wary of predators who know f*ck all about this club. Leyton Orient, Blackpool and Notts County are all recent examples of power-seeking egomaniacs who pi*s a 100 years of history up against the wall.

I don't think anyone has suggested that he does sell it to the first robber-baron that comes along.

Who's red-crossing this? Have we got robber-barons in our midst?
