What a stupid programme, it’s more about Burns than Town. He wants to be a political pundit. James Wahtsit dare not say anything and ummed and ahhed and then there’s some twit trying to turn it into a mental health issue.

I'm sure Burnsey is thoroughly enjoying poking the hornets nest, but he's right, this is an issue wider than GTFC. Just wish he could get someone more knowledgeable and erudite on the show to discuss the implications.

Burns is Radio Humberside's version of Talksport's Jim White, just loves the drama. This is the best thing that has ever happened to his show. Revelling in it.

We’re like an episode of The Simpsons - ‘Marge vs The Monorail’
Fenty is Mayor Quimby Mr Burns is Mr Burns Gally is Barney Gumble
Alick May is Lyle Lanley - the fast-talking salesman leads a song-and-dance routine that convinces the townspeople to build a monorail rather than using the Town’s regeneration money for sensible causes

Yes, there may well be implications but without some better facts nobody can truly say what. So far it is a bloke we don’t like who has a crim record going to BP and pleading he’s a good bloke really, here’s some cash to prove it. Then there’s an apparent connection between Fenty the shareholder and Fenty the Chair of Regeneration. And who is going to be daft enough to give an interview to an idiot like Burns? They really would be fools to go within a Humber Bridge of that clown. One fool is going to do it after 12 so I gather. He clearly doesn’t know Burns and he won’t say anything he hasn’t already said in his statement even under the 3rd Degree.

My thought on May investing in our great club is.
Where did he get the money from.?
I would insist he proved he obtained all his money honestly before we except a penny.

Burnsy struggled to develop the story. Its telling that Fenty, the board and the council are saying the bare minimum. Beware fishies, after the bluster has subsided the charm offensive and bu!!sh!t will begin!
To be honest its already begun with May's statement and his Radio Humberside interview later.

We haven’t really seen any bluster apart from Burns desperation to stay relevant. May is not relevant, though he may eventually prove to be the weak link. He’s a pawn in the business that I’m interested in which is the JF Property Supermarket . He had one go with the Parkway and it looks as though he was preparing another attempt but got stymied by COVID. May can say what he likes, he just gets out of town anytime he fancies having spent nothing. JF on the other hand lives here and he will issue his usual unfathomable statement while Day and the Council will issue their measured and legally checked responses. If anything comes of this it will be back room politics that affects the outcome more than the club.
