You, like me have no idea of the level of funding they will bring. You are guessing, and I dont think we will ever know.
Even if its no funding, it's the same level as what we have been getting in recent times. The only difference is they bring a fresh approach and fresh ideas. Three people with three sets of new business contacts. Yes, there are risks but there are with any transaction but at least the club is debt-free and not beholden to one man. What makes you so sure we will ever know Boris?

The bee all and end all is what Ollie wants to do.
He has the choice of backing his 'bezzie mate' JSF, who along with the rest of the Board have put nothing into the club in the last year, therefore leaving him on the breadline with only two thrupenny bits to use for transfers. To continue with this option as is, he will be gone before the end of the season in my eyes
or
He backs a takeover by THREE investment businessmen who may not have an affinity with GTFC, but will bring much needed funding in to be used for the team, the training ground, and even a new ground. They may only want it as a business, but no businessman invests to throw his money away. This is the long term option which could see Ollie firmly encamped in GTFC folklore
Olly’s got a pair of thrupenny bits?? He doesn’t look fat enough for man boobs.

He s probably not happy at some idiot fans shouting he needs to make a statement about this Alex May bloke. Ollie has always said he leaves the business side to the board not including himself.
Maybe he is finding out how bad and fickle some of our fans are after a not ideal start to the season but lets face it no worse than it has been for years. Lets face it we get a win and people scream promotion, get a loss and its relegation.
A complete rebuild of the team and we are struggling, the building blocks are there but not the patience.
FFS pull your head out of your bottom, GTFC fans and the Fishy are no different to every other club Take a peek at the forums of other clubs that are struggling and the reaction is just the same. The Notts County forum was full of vitriol about their directors and hate against the criminal who wanted to be part of their club.

As usual, he speaks very passionately about things he's not happy about.
I am thinking along the lines of being sold a story by Fenty, then finding out he's dealing with convicts, and him finding out via the media like the rest of us.

because I think the Football club is probably a side interest that has to fit into there other plans, I worry long term. I think the salary cap makes funding for players irrelevant, and that it will be an astute manager who can get the best out of that budget. We certainly need to become more attractive, that I dont dispute...and I still thnk we are years away from any new ground, as obstacles will be put in the way.

Why? Are we negotiating with the EU. Sorry just had to put that.

Boris, Boris, Boris, Up until 4 days ago GTFC was a side interest of JF's so don't give me that. More obstacles will be in place with a figurehead that has been known to deal with crooks that hasn't made any headway since 2004. ** EDIT** Time to shite or get off the pot.

https://twitter.com/jstockwood?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorJason Stockwood Twitter bio.. Forever GTFC with three fishes and regularly attends matches.. Is it the Grimsby fear of the unknown that makes people contradict what they can easily find out with a couple of clicks of a button? And then make swathing assumptions about their motives? FFS, the only evidence we've seen is an artist's impression of a new stadium on a rejuvenated run down dockland area, so we can safely assume it's the centrepiece of their plans for GTFC and they've already got an existing local project underway. Can't we just be happy with that for now until we hear from the horse's mouth so to speak. And the "no businessman throws his money away" line.. ever heard of charity, investment in positive PR, doing things for the greater good, philanthropy or legacy?

Even if the "Golden Triumvirate" are not GTFC fans, they are or were local, so will understand what GTFC means to the people of Grimsby.
