Not true, but it's anti Fenty, so I guess it's a fact as far as this place is concerned.


Only repeating what I've been told. And in what way is it anti Fenty? I stated that (as I'm led to believe) the money was there but JF wanted to remain on the board. His decision. No criticism. It's his club and he can do what he likes.

He can do what he likes. Very soon though he could be like the kid who’s got all the nice toys but won’t play nicely with other kids. Alone.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That two word phrase rolled out as if JF is victimised personally without just cause..

Forget all of the off field embarrassments over the years, forget the dilapidation of the club, forget the millions lost under his tenure, forget the complete lack of progress with the new stadium, forget the complete lack of footballing nous, forget his complete disregard for other human beings and forget all of the appalling current shenanigans..

I would like JF to leave our club as soon as possible for one simple thing. It's the most important thing at a football club. The goddam awful record on the pitch throughout his tenure. That alone is enough to make me anti Fenty without even taking into account his sorry looking charge sheet for off field matters..

If anyone's "anti Fenty" then de facto they're "pro GTFC", and that's good enough for me..

Obviously agree. And it's not just recent, is it? The treatment of club legend John McDermott set the tone.

I thought the deal with Shutes was agreed but the board did not get the prove of funds so took the club off the market when Ollie agreed to come and put 100,000 pounds in .

It's water under the bridge now so Mr Fenty  please go and let's see if Mr Shutes can do a better job.

if we was to get relegated i cant see holloway sticking with us he would go to another league club rather than non league


If we were anywhere near to getting relegated come February I would hope IH wouldn't still be here.

Anyone out there know if this Stockwood is any relation to the Stockwood
who was on the Board during the 1960's.

I seem to remember he was Bill Stockwood and by profession an accountant.

Genuine question, what happened with Danny Coyne? From memory, we went down and he became Kasey Keller's back-up at Leicester in the prem. I don't remember any mistreatment but I may have simply forgotten.
