I can think of three/four likely scenarios but interested if people see more or which they think most likely.

1) Sale goes through in the next few days. Consortium are ambitious in recruitment and budget to attract manager and things start to look up

2) The sale goes through but the terms Fenty insists on mean limited funds are available. Patience required along with us somehow clinging to league status

3) Fenty holds on. The board continue to claim only a vocal online minority want change. To try and calm things he throws some money in recruits somebody like Hurst or Alexander by giving them a decent budget for January and allowing an increase in coaching staff

4) Fenty stays but things turn nastier. On the back of very poor ifollow numbers he says there is nothing to spend in January and promotes Ben Davies with Woods assisting him. Conference return seems inevitable.

Good summary of possible scenarios. Can’t think of others. For my money, 1 is the most unlikely.

3 or 4 I reckon. Just based on a hunch.


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.

To be honest he could bring Allegri in as manager, the pressure remains. Fenty’s position is untenable and he needs to be gone, if people really care about the club they need to recognise this is beyond just getting a good manager...and when he’s kicked 1 good one in 20 years I’m hardly gonna get excited at the prospect of him picking another...

I agree with you Aldi but I think he holds us in low enough esteem to think we'd be bought by a decent manager and a recognised League 2 striker.

Some fans would be bought...look at the wankfest when Holloway got the job.

In the end it all unravelled but I’d imagine those that were less enthusiastic still recognised that the issues at the club still remained and it was a smokescreen...

His position is untenable now . He knows it . Potential buyers know that. Fans definitely know it .
Unfortunately he owns the club and can keep his grip . Depends on how long he wants to make his life a sh.itshow

I think 3, I hope 1. Knowing Fenty, he’s going to cling on because he’s lost his role as council flag waver.

In order of likeliness to happen I'd guess 3, 2, 4, 1

Good luck with any decent manager wanting to come here under Fenty with the state the clubs in. Same for decent recruits. Throw money? What money? The wage cap? Option three is as about fanciful as it gets..

1).. or 4) but with a desperate manager most likely..

I hate to say it but I really can't see it being anything more than 4. I'm normally a staunch optimist even with Town, but I can't help but feel Fenty will continue and we will get either a manager we arent happy with or we appoint from within.
