All we need now is a statement from fenty via day stating he isn't selling his shares and that the clubs not for sale just to make 2020 even more unbearable. I literally hate GTFC as a club at the moment, we are in a bigger pickle than a Haywards factory.


saw what you did there.....

Ollie has gone because he had an agreement to take over from Fenty as the major share holder as I said in a previous post (s ).

So much for being here for the fans anyway best of luck in what you do next Ollie.

I wish I could say you have turned out great club around but I can't you have left us in a bigger mess.

The next appointment has got to be the right man for us..

Did Hollaway know that Fenty was selling his shares to someone else, when he said he wouldn't be investing in the club?

Who are these "new" owners anyway?

i suspect so, but i also think the 'outing' and abandonment of the dodgy May deal was the main reason
The Holy Trinty are Stockwood/Shutes & Pettit

In my opinion, his rhetoric over the past few weeks was he was looking for a way out and it comes as no surprise to me.

Am I disappointed he has gone, not really, I tend not to join in with the "we've got a great manager here" discussions on here when one arrives, as in recent years it usually goes mammaries up. I appreciate we have had a problem with the player Budget and Covid clauses but who decided on which players we would sign as we have signed some crap and apart from a very few games the football has been pretty dreadful as well as the pissing about with team changes.

I don't know who has written the Club statement :-

The board and Ollie had a joint vision, first to improve the league position, secondly to deliver top class training facilities and finally by relocation to a new community stadium.

Did that joint vision include accepting that criminal May's money and how much did Holloway know about May?

If he knew about May's past then he can intercourse off with the rest of them.

Do the new owners have the finances to take us forward? From what we can gather they so far don't seem to have the money for what is needed. They seem to have less money than Fenty. It's one thing to be rid of Fenty, but are we replacing him with more of the same because of a lack of money?

Isn’t Shutes selling his house for more than Fenty sold his business? Anyway it’s not just about the money it’s about the decision making, the ethos of the club and using the revenue that does come into the club sensibly and not having a penny pinching approach. Been said many times that the club is self financed by the fans and other income and no other investment has been forthcoming for quite some time so I’m sure any new owners can improve upon that!!!!

"From what we gather" Please do enlighten us to their available finances, what is it that you know?

You always seem to come on here and support the Fenty regime, are you in that clan?

I am just hoping that JF will sell the club quickly and fairly. At the moment I have a sinking feeling he is going to take as much as he can lay his hands on and leave the club looking like a house vacated by squatters as his parting gift to the supporters.
