Seen this????

https://twitter.com/humbersidesport/status/1342902820312403968?s=21

Wow. Completely believable that everything they’ve said is true. Go now Fenty. We don’t want you here!!!!

My good god. Its there in black and white John. You’re a disgrace to this club and this town

I don't think I can watch any more of this unfold.  

So just to clarify...Fenty is a girl private, a lying one at that...

Wow! That is some statement of intent. Fenty needs to take this - there is no other option.
Would love to see what this new trio of owners can do with the club. Please, please, please....

UTM

100% believe them, and 100% believe in them..

Does this mean that Fenty is a lier?

Payment over 3-years in full regardless of league status.  What more do you want John Fenty, take it while you can, you will never ever get a better offer than this.  500K per year, go for it John.

Please don't let us end up dying, I can't bare it.

Confirmed what we knew all along. Fenty is a girl private who just loves to feel powerful. He has played with this club for 16 years making numerous mistakes and taking our standing in the football world down to the lowest it's ever been. Take their offer and get out of our club. And I wouldn't dare enter BP ever again if I were you.

Wow! For once I don’t know what to say...

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Does this mean that Fenty is a lier?

Shock horror.

A clear change in position from Stockwood, Shites and Pettit, re payment of loans. Seems that this is what Honest John wanted....

That’s a good statement and a brilliant offer considering the club are I such shite.

Quoted from Boris Johnson

A clear change in position from Stockwood, Shites and Pettit, re payment of loans. Seems that this is what Honest John wanted....

Then why reject it this morning?

Fenty might have done a clusterfuck with GTFC but he seems to have done a cracking job uniting The Fishy.

They’re literally exposing him for what he is here...

So they’ve even offered him a deal that’s even fairer than the last and he’s still refused it...

Quoted from Boris Johnson

A clear change in position from Stockwood, Shites and Pettit, re payment of loans. Seems that this is what Honest John wanted....

Which one of the Fenty brothers are you?

That's what I was thinking too.

Well  Well Well   There you have it .  Cant stop playing games can you.. Kama will have its moment it alwase does

OMG
Fenty, wriggle out of that.
Now, take the f*ing money and sodomist off to some hole in the ground, never to be seen again.

This once proud club and fantastic fan base must be heard.

Wow! He is fast running out of wriggle room.

Nowhere to hide now John. Take the offer and go.

He'll not get an offer like that when we are in the Conference, beggars belief.

Here’s your libel or whatever it is you whinge about john

You’re a flipping bare faced liar who is playing with the emotions of thousands of people for your own selfish needs. Just intercourse off with your money and never ever come back

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Which one of the Fenty brothers are you?

niether,  you didnt notice the loan will be paid without any reference to league status? Or am I missing something.  Anyway if thats the offer, then I would expect HJ to now take that.

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

OMG
Fenty, wriggle out of that.
Now, take the f*ing money and sodomist off to some hole in the ground, never to be seen again.

This once proud club and fantastic fan base must be heard.

PS take the rest of your ratbag followers too and tell them never to be seen at Blundell Park again

Can the Trust have its shares back though? He doesn’t deserve a penny for them.

Anyone who supports the Fenty position now must be soft in the head.

Serious question John. What the hell are you playing at and why? They are giving you everything you want and the deal you said you had accepted before the 'conditions' you said were added.

Go now before it gets any worse.

My message to our current owner...

Fenty this statement is clear.
Unconditional full repayment has been offered.
Can you please just accept the offer and leave.
Know when your position is untenable.

Only an idiot would turn this offer down.
Further delays will damage the club.
For the sake of the club, go now.

Quoted from Boris Johnson

A clear change in position from Stockwood, Shites and Pettit, re payment of loans. Seems that this is what Honest John wanted....

Or that was always the offer and JSF was being dishonest when he claimed there was a clause where relegation would mean loan repayments ended?

Quoted from GollyGTFC

My message to our current owner...

Fenty this statement is clear.
Unconditional full repayment has been offered.
Can you please just accept the offer and leave.

Or someone who doesn’t want to let go.

He has now been offered the deal he wanted, he HAS to accept and leave now.  GO Fenty and never come back.  #FENTYOUT

This feels like the end game. There’s an offer on the table with the relegation clause removed, he has no more leverage.

Fenty is a man that doesn’t want to sell who has been very cleverly backed into a corner by smarter business men than him.

It’s now or never John, for god sake get off the pot and let someone else have a excrement.


(Also how refreshing to see statements that are well written, sincere and not an absolute embarrassment)

Its all getting rather stupid It was blatantly obvious that the Shutes syndicate would come back with another offer despite any deadline being set by Fenty.

The offer is now without any 'relegation clause' which is just as well for Fenty as we sure as intercourse are headed that way

A continued refusal therefore can surely only be that he wants it in one lump not three payments

Bluff duly called...it’s Blackpool / Oyston v fans full on now if he doesn’t go...

Wouldn’t surprise me if the offer was refused on the basis that it’s passed the 4pm deadline...

Fenty , you’re the laughing stock of the area . You’ve f.ucked your political ambitions up and embarrassed yourself in front of the local business community .
Now you’ve embarrassed yourself by completely fu.cking up the proud club that is GTFC and being shown up for being a liar .... because you can’t handle losing control of the club .
What a pathetic individual you are . You should be ashamed of yourself.

To be honest I’m shocked at easing a statement like that.

It’s sincere, proof read, grammatically correct and even formatted on the page correctly...

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Wow! For once I don’t know what to say...

That sentiment didn’t last long, I think that statement has just beaten Fenty at his own game.

We NEED to create pressure over this statement and force him to take it

'The best interests of OUR club at heart'

Thats in the statement!, OUR CLUB!!!

Do the right thing please John, please.

With this statement JF position has become untenable, he has two options, take the deal and leave in good faith head held high and whatever our fellings as fans we can wish him well as we part ways or he can hold out and face the inevitable  backlash and consequences, trying to carry on his fight with his empire crumbling around him and his support gone, an ever more pathetic figure in a utterly hopeless situation.

I expect he will now accept. First thing Monday morning.FFS leave him alone until then

Imagine if the new consortium take over and it’s a massive success. That’s what Fenty is frightened of.

It’s over. Time to go. Game set and match.

Quoted from Azimuth

Nah bollocks to him. I hope he loses every penny and ends up cottaging for cash.

Quoted from Ipswin

I expect him to try to put some weasel words together as an excuse to refuse.

Bashing away on his keyboard as we speak...like a drunk Plug from the Bash Street kids...

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I think so too, then we can start to ask some serious questions to the 3 wise men, in terms of log term planning, the new ground, training facilities etc..

Am I the only one who think this statement is a fake?

Quoted from Sussexmariner

Am I the only one who think this statement is a fake?

Jeez, don't.

I really can’t imagine how he can refuse this offer

His position is weakening by the second. His “assets” or our precious club we call it are reducing drip by drip, lost game by lost game.

What a boost to the players when he goes.

Quoted from Sussexmariner

Am I the only one who think this statement is a fake?

Are you cynical because it’s a statement regarding GTFC that’s not presented in a way that looks like a drunk toddler put it together?

No “faffing about” then ....

Presumably the only reason he can have for not selling now is that he is a control freak for whom being chairman of GTFC is his only means of acting the 'big man' in the local community now that he doesn't have five star fish or deputy leader of the council positions? If he leaves he will simply be a rich nobody and that, for someone of his ego, seems to be unbearable for him.
What i reckon will be eating him up inside is the thought of the new owners being successful and the thought that deep even in his deluded psyche he will have to admit to being an epic failure.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

The clever one 😂

Herein lies the problem.

The intelligent well thought out and coherent statement of the consortium is a pleasant change from the moronic self pitying ramblings that we have had to endure over the last few years. Being paid the loans back over 3 years instead of 1 is not a valid reason to hang on to power particularly when you have stated publicly that you want to sell.  My advice for Fenty would be to intercourse off now before it gets worse.

Quoted from Sussexmariner

Am I the only one who think this statement is a fake?

I’d be amazed if Humberside hadn’t checked it out, Matt Dean did say they’d tried to reach out to the consortium.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

I expect him to try to put some weasel words together as an excuse to refuse.

No, If the statement is genuine and not a cruel fake, I expect a very painful excuse-ridden statement accepting the offer and stating (quite honestly on his part) how he has been proud to be associated with the club he loves. It will be signed UTM.

And once all the whooping and cheering and crowing is over I hope we can, having got what we wanted, accept it and move on

This is all about power and spite for Fenty now. He gets £1m up front here and then guaranteed £1.5m within 3 years. So in 3 years time he’ll be £2.5m richer. Whether we agree that he deserves it or not is irrelevant, but he gets what he believes is “due” to him in 3 years. If he holds onto the club he can tax maximum £100k a year realistically. So to get his £2.5m he says he’s owed it’d take him 25 years. He gets it in 3 here. PLUS he’s taking on the risk of relegation to non league and then god knows what. He might not get any money at all!


So in summary; take the offer and intercourse off you narcissistic Tory twit.

In my opinion its all about money and being top dog with Mr Fenty, so I assume he will be very very irritated that the consortium will be able to get the regeneration and relocation going, making money in the process and he will be sat on the sidelines, envious.

That is what will be eating away at him, unable to accept that someone else can do it, and make the money he could have earned, had he been able to deliver the new stadium.

He will never get a better offer, and he will never be able to make his dreams come true, so like we all have to do at times, accept the reality of the situation.

He should snap their hand off. Not literally obviously.

Get some beers chilled my friends and get ready for the JF drunk midnight statement.

Quoted from Boris Johnson

I wouldn’t worry, I’d imagine honest John using a post it note...

A photocopy of a lettter written on a piece of A4 paper?

All Radio Humberside has done is retweeted a copy of a picture?,

Don’t you think if it was legitimate there would be some sort “official” release direct to the media ie the GY telegraph and Radio Humberside etc?

No late Christmas present for us fans I’m afraid

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

What a boost to the players when he goes.

I doubt very much it will turn them into Div 4 standard professional footballers overnight unfortunately

There are currently 6 directors at the club. The other 5 (even his 3 loyal acolytes) probably need to phone him 1 after the other and tell him clearly that his time is up and that they will resign in 7 days if he hasn't concluded a deal by then. I think Philip Day is his friend, if i was in that position I would be a friend and tell him he needs to sell the club as it's for the best of the club, the community and for John Fenty himself. Sometimes people in leadership positions who have surrounded themselves with Yes-men and have been detached from people giving them their honest opinion for a long time need those closest to them to spell it out to them and tell them IT'S OVER!

Quoted from Ipswin

Are you sure you're not Ian Holloway, what's the matter didn't he bung you enough?

Quoted from Sussexmariner

100% sure the consortium would of contacted Humberside first to release their statement

Why? They released their last one through social media.

Regardless of this statement being legit or not, the original offer that Fenty told us had been tabled was more than
Fair and acceptable...

It hasnt been tweeted or reported by Gy Live yet who are normally very quick to spread the word

I bloody hope its not a fake

Quoted from GrimRob

He should snap their hand off. Not literally obviously.

you're in daily contact with him at the moment Rob.Perhaps you could tell him yourself, when he's next on trying to bully you ;)

Quoted from Ipswin

This to the man who gave them til 4 pm on Christmas Eve..

Thought Lloyd was spot on on the radio today.
Humberside were cringing at what he said, but well done Lloyd.
Truth is out.....I think.....I hope

Quoted from Incognito

Please John, just accept it!

IF it's genuine I expect John Fenty to take tomorrow to think it through realise his position and accept first thing Monday, I would consider that reasonable

I think it's going to be a Fight Club style twist where it turns out the consortium don't actually exist but are actually the fictional creation of Fenty's mind representing the decent, competent owner he would really like to be.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Zero way he’d understand that plot and structure...

Quoted from Sussexmariner

100% sure the consortium would of contacted Humberside first to release their statement

Considering the emotion on show from the callers on tonight’s Football Forum on RH they would be the perfect vehicle for getting this out.

Radio Free Europe closed donkeys years ago didn’t it?

If Radio Humberside could tell us how the statement arrived with them, that might prove whether it's genuine ?  

Quoted from RexFannies

This to the man who gave them til 4 pm on Christmas Eve..

That was always balderdash, swallowed by some idiots on here

It was simply brinksmanship on Fenty's part (which Shutes side would have seen through immediately) and, if the statement from Shutes & Co is genuine appears to have resulted in a change of their position

If it’s not a genuine letter from the consortium Radio Humberside better get their tin hats and flack jackets ready.

If it’s not genuine I would expect heads to roll at Radio Ull

Wriggle out of that you worm Fenty it's in black and white for all to see.

Go now and make all fans of our great club happy and don't dare show yourself at a game because you know what reception you will get.

It's our club so just get out now.

Quoted from Boris Johnson

Perhaps John wrote it himself

Have you read it? It looks like someone who can put a statement together without misusing words, and contradicting himself. No way was it written by John Fenty.

Time to go Fenty and take the rest of the board with you...

Your time here has been a disaster you have taken the club once into non league very nearly twice had it not been for other team point deductions and looks like were heading back there again!

You will never get a better deal, we the fans near a new start under new owners so we can get back to supporting our proud club.

intercourse off with your money you don't deserve it!

Don’t forget as well that this week that Day said that only a very fans were against John Fenty.  

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

If it’s not a genuine letter from the consortium Radio Humberside better get their tin hats and flack jackets ready.

If it’s not genuine I would expect heads to roll at Radio Ull

Exactly this is what it says on the tweet...

BBC Humberside Sport
@HumbersideSport
A statement has been released by Tom Shutes, Jason Stockwood and Andrew Pettit

My only concern is it appears Fenty knew this today and has still decided not to sell. This has to push this over the line...... doesn’t it?

Quoted from Ipswin

Are you sure you're not Ian Holloway, what's the matter didn't he bung you enough?

Nope and I'll tell him when I see him.

It's on other news organisations too.

Just imagine being John Fenty and residing over GTFC for a full 16 years, finishing higher than 14th place in League 2 on just two occasions, one of which was in being relegated from League 1, and someone comes in and offers you £2.5m (all you've invested/wasted and more) to walk away. You'd be squealing with glee all the way to the bank. I thank him for his hard work in the early days and his efforts to 'balance the books' but please now walk away whilst there is even a modicum of goodwill.

Its legit- contacted A telegraph employee who has confirmed

Quoted from Mikey_345

My only concern is it appears Fenty knew this today and has still decided not to sell. This has to push this over the line...... doesn’t it?

If its true yes, Monday I would expect

I’m not really sure how he could turn this down now the main blocker appears to have been removed ....:.:  can someone just check with the ducks 🦆 so that they know that this depends upon their ability to line up in a row ...... no pressure but if this falls down John will blame them for sure.

It's pretty obvious it was brinksmanship from Fenty. You don't give people a deadline for the full asking price. You give people a deadline when you're offering some sort of discount/deal.

Quoted from RexFannies

It was obvious to anyone

Deadlines are set in all negotiations but no one expects them to be kept (look at the Brexit farce)

Folk latched onto that 4pm deadline from Fenty for some reason probably because they wanted to use it as something else to aim at Fenty, Shutes was always going to come back.

I am surprised the '4pm deadline' statement was issued publicly it could just have been passed between the parties but that's GTFC for you!

But they didn't come back. According to their statement, it was offered Christmas Eve and put to bed while they spent the festivities with their families. Then JF rejects it again this morning very publicly. They seem as confused as we are as to why.

Has to go now, this is an amazing offer, although the suggestion that he has already turned it down is as disturbing as it is disappointing.

Let's hope he finally wakes up and smells the coffee

Fenty has nowhere to go now. If he clings on to power the backlash from the fans would be horrendous and unbearable. Imagine what it will be like at the first game fans are allowed back. I wouldn't like to be Fenty that's for sure. When football fans unite against their clubs owners it gets very nasty and personal. Surely he must realise this and know the game is up.

Quoted from Sussexmariner

So your mate has read and seen a photo copy of a piece of A4 paper on social media then...I take it all back, I look forward to seeing it headlining on BBC news tonight and maybe Gary having a chat to Alan Shearer on MOTD congratulating the Town fans on the “Fenty Out” campaign

Hope I have to eat my words and it is true, but....

It's been a couple of hours, they'd be aware and have refuted it by now.

Quoted from GollyGTFC

It's pretty obvious it was brinksmanship from Fenty. You don't give people a deadline for the full asking price. You give people a deadline when you're offering some sort of discount/deal.

Spot on Golly. Brinksmanship plays a massive part in all negotiations, the issue of tonights statement from Shutes & Co could be seen as another example. They have made a public statement disclosing they have changed (improved) the terms of their offer to Fenty knowing the furore it would produce amongst the fans and the extra pressure that would be beought to bear on Fenty to accept

All normal stuff, it's who plays the last card that counts and I think its Shutes

The only reason I can see for JF to refuse, is his moving of the goalposts from a 3 year repayment to wanting it all by seasons end in his late night statement.

However, they have compromised and removed the relegation condition, so he should now also compromise and accept the 3 year deal, which he said he had accepted originally.

No reason why this shouldn't go ahead now given he will never get a better deal and if he stays, he'll lose most of the remaining fans. His family and friends should be having a word in his ear and telling him his time is up.

I would love the "New Stadium" to be on the docks, I never really liked the Freemo idea.

Just got a good feeling this takeover is going to happen now.

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-news/tom-shutes-reveals-stunning-plan-4110684

JF was driving the Freeman St idea after the failure of the Peaks Parkway project.

My gut feeling is Fenty still won't sell.

Of course he should do I flipping hope he does but I don't think he will.

Hopefully I am wrong.

I’m am a hundred percent sure everyone one of you feels like I do now. And it’s horrible. During the summer I was genuinely concerned Covid could cause me not to have a club to love anymore. Six months later, I had no idea that the literal future of our club lies in the hands of an individual who lacks so much class, empathy, shame, morales and non alcoholic late night statements.

When Holloway slammed the premier league for their project big picture, he went on sky sports and said they are selfish, how every community deserves a football club. Well Holloway, your boy fenty is fast tracking our community to be club less. The premier league top four had more consideration for our clubs future than what our own majority shareholder currently has.

Shutes and co are everything that fenty is not. He feels threatened by this. And this worries me. He is so egotistical, that he wears turtle necks and tan leather jackets to agms; he tries to bridge the gap with supporters by releasing an interview whilst sat on a snooker table in his house with no shame at all.  This is clearly a guy can’t be reasoned with

This is so painful. I watched every game this season on a laptop rather that via iptv on an actual tv, at the expense of a TENNER! cos I wanted to support the club. I couldn’t even face listening to it today.

Fenty. Please find some human emotion in that soulless heart of yours. Your getting your cash, the one thing that really makes you hard after all. Grimsby need a club. We need a club. Take your millions and leave. Don’t be forever known as the man who killed GTFC.

I bet you if he does sell up he'll kick himself in a few months time not for doing it years ago

Doubt it. Holloway told us “he’s a very clever man”.

Quoted from Stadium

???
That was the proposed plan by the consortium.

JF was driving the Freeman St idea after the failure of the Peaks Parkway project.

He was also driving Great Coates after the smart people were saying out of town retail is dead. And after the landowner said he wasn’t selling to the football club

Docks is perfect for a new ground and the spiritual home of the town.

If this consortium believe its do-able on the docks or freeman street or wherever, I'd be more inclined to believe what they say. They have a track record of making things happen, multiple successsful businesses (not just a one-hit wonder to make their millions) and appear to know what they're talking about.

Bit of a different proposition to the group that hired Extreme Leisure.

Quoted from ginnywings

Agree completely!

Personally I think the Docks seems a mouth more expensive option but when it comes to a question of confidence, I’d rather trust the Shute’s [sic] Consortium than the crook’s friend.

After all this shite that Fenty has got HIMSELF into too much will stick. Can’t see his role as councillor lasting much longer. I firmly believe in karma and bloody hell he’s got a big juicy dollop of it coming his way!

Having read and re-read the statement two or three times, the impression that I get is that the only tyre kicker here is John Fenty.

All I want is a fresh start and some renewed hope for my football club. Couldn't care less about karma, just desserts or who gets what or when. Just a fresh start as soon as possible, everyone 100% behind the club and a fighting chance of staying in this league before pushing onto greater things..

Things are dire to say the least.  Will the situation have to get worse before everything’ gets better?  This is often the order of things.

Well well well John,

John,

The more I read the statement the more I think it may not be legitimate unfortunately. It's not like Schutes, Stockwood and Petit to sling personal insults in their statements and there's quite a few if you read through it.
Hope I'm wrong but I'm thinking some very educated and clever anti-Fenty(whom I'm one but no where near sharp enough to write that) individual may have penned it.

So BBC Radio Humberside and the Telegraph would publish it if it was sent in by a random person?

Why do people think the SSP statement is a hoax? ;D

I don’t think there’s any personal insults in it, what it does is call out the childish barbs that Fenty has used or the things he’s implied.

Whether it’s legit or not, Fenty can call people all he wants but he is now the only one who is wasting time, is a tyre kicker and so forth and it’s nothing to do with GTFC and all to do with him and his cash.

In truth I’d imagine Fenty has seen his bottom hence why yes now dragging his heels. He’d been cosying up to the crook for a sustained period of time, the alleged deal from him was idle for Fenty and he was nursing a semi on over it.

Someone rightfully exposed the whole thing and the fact he’s lost is position (hopefully his entire council role eventually) and his role at the club is untenable has drunk him off. He’s not disappointed the deal didn’t go through, he’s annoyed he got caught.

He has nobody to blame but himself; greed, arrogance, egotism and self obsessive behaviour has caused his downfall, like all good despotic leaders, he’s caused his own collapse...

I think they've just carefully chosen their moment to crank up the pressure a bit.

It's not the media have been caught out with hoaxes before is it?..like I said, I sincerely hope I'm wrong but something just isn't adding up to me, just my opinion that's all.

Even if it’s fake, the pressure needs to remain and I’m sure that a club desperate to release statements would be benn out by now and told us that’s not legit...

Christ, they openly called Shutes and the consortium tyre kickers, wannabes and time wasters...they happily tell us they’re bullshitters...

Quoted from Marinerz93

Well well well John,

I desperately hope this letter is genuine. The thought of indefinite Fenty control doesn’t bear thinking about.
However if it’s a fake we must keep up the pressure on Fenty to go irrespective of how long it takes

This has been in the public domain long enough that if it was a fake it would have been flagged as such by the consortium.

It’s hardly the Zinoviev letter is it? Can we stay within the realms of common sense.

FFS the consortium have sent it to all the local media who will have verified it with those who wrote it.

Only issue will be if Fenty doesn’t accept

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

I desperately hope this letter is genuine. The thought of indefinite Fenty control doesn’t bear thinking about.

So as of this morning.
Statement hosted both on the GT and Gi Grimsby News websites/social media.
Humberside sport,retweeted by John Tondeur and Matt Dean.
No response by the consortium or the club around its authenticity.
It's a very high probability thats its genuine.

If it wasn’t legit you’d imagine the consortium would’ve alerted us to the fact it’s fake already...

"The statement could be fake"

Jesus wept. Get a grip..

The only way this is going to be resolved is if the consortium work with the current board, inject their cash to oust JF within three seasons!

Only problem is, I cannot think that this would happen?

Therefor, personally I think we are stuck in the doldrums until someone knocks sense into all at the club, and those that say they could be better at running it.

I've got a very broad taste in music and Andrea Bocelli is one of my favourite Tenors, and there is a football related story as part of his biography which is sadly quite interesting.

It's the only move that makes sense. Fenty said the relegation clause around his loans was the problem. The consortium have removed that condition. For the good of the club, get on with it. :-/

I read that and was slightly worried that it says Fenty has set a deadline for Friday. He has set the deadline?? They have given him an incredibly generous offer, so what is the Friday deadline all about? Just take the offer John.

It could be he has thrown something else into the mix, or he wants to try to be top dog to the bitter end, but the quicker this is resolved the better for all our nerves.

I think you are getting worried about nothing here There is no indication at all that anyone has set any 'deadlines' as such

I suspect Fenty means he wants it all signed and sealed (possibly including payment but thats not unreasonable) by New Years Day, all finished in 2020 in other words, nice and tidy.

The quoted report from @TVFTL states:

"The takeover is back on, all parties are back in touch, Fenty has given a deadline of Friday the 1st of Jan."

He should have accepted the previous offer. He’s done well screwing £200,000 out of the trust as it is. He should give that money back if he gets paid in full for all his shares.

Its a figure of speech, he wants it sorted and done (quite understandably perhaps after the bile and hatred thrown at him this week) It does not mean 'Friday or I'm out' and even if there was an element of that its just more brinksmanship (which both parties have amply demonstrated and I think it's Fenty's turn again after the last Shutes statement)


Don't panic Captain Mainwaring!

Believe nothing till something is signed, sealed and delivered

By Friday we will have lost yet another game with another likely on Saturday

Well if bile and hatred has had a positive effect he can have plenty more until he’s prised completely out of the club, and hopefully the council.

I thought the same, LCL. It's a negotiation. Who does he think he is to be setting deadlines?

It wants It done by Friday ?

I want it done yesterday.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Well we sure as hell aren't going to win on Tuesday or saturday just because the deal is done

Has he told you?

Just to be sure until he’s actually no longer ‘in the building’ I’m happy to see the bike continue.
