I think the person who 'outed' May and his connection to Fenty did us a massive favour.
It doesn't bear thinking about if May, Fenty and Runaway plans had gone ahead.

Indeed. Whoever got the news out did the favour.

Maybe the duty to be a whistleblower is higher than the duty to honour a NDA?

I don't know about other posters but I am still trying to get my head round the Holloway situation.

Yes his managerial record was mixed, but we know ourselves how boardroom antics can play a huge part and all of his successes were at a higher level so that held weight. The idea that he was to move here, invest in the club and spoke of leaving a legacy would sway most Town fans to say wow, at last we have a new and exciting future to look forward to.

I could not understand the love in for Fenty, but I told myself he was just being considerate and would perhaps look to others to buy Fenty out in future years as the revolution got underway.

Yet here we are a year on, 23rd in division 4.

Amazingly though, the Holloway / May / Fenty saga has set off a chain of events that actually WILL bring about change, and change far greater that we could have imagined a year ago!

As Mrs LCL says, there is always a reason for everything although we cannot see it at the time.

Wise words from the lady there LCL

At the time of Holloway’s appointment we had just dispensed with the services of another rather younger PR mad manager. I have to admit gullibility here because I felt Holloway was going to be a figurehead on the football side, more a Director of Football than a manager. Last season that appeared to be what happened to a large extent. Limbrick was the coach and Ollie the public face.

It went pear shaped when furloughs began and especially when Limbrick went. Then the targets Ollie wanted in the summer declined his invitations and he was left with the lesser lights who were supposed to be bit part players. That was never going to work and in this Jan window Ollie would have had to do like Hurst, chop out the rot and get some new growth.

What I find hard to understand is Ollie’s part in the Fenty business. Over the past few months he will have seen his plans destroyed by Fenty cuts but has blamed Covid at every opportunity rather than the club’s reaction to it. Only when the Mayhem began did Ollie drift away from loyalty to Fenty and that leaves unanswered questions about how much Ollie knew of the Fenty/May plans and how much he knew about the consortium speaking with Hurst.

It is water under the bridge of course, new era, new start, New Fishy and all that. But sometime in the future I have a feeling a lot more may emerge about Town Centre Development, the new BP and regeneration meetings with officers and councillors.

I actually spoke to him outside a pub in East London about two years ago ( Orient away ) I asked what he was up to since he had left Town.He mentioned that he had left the professional game and ventured into the media  as a writer. He said he still looked out for the Town score as he was interested how we as a club were doing A good guy was very happy to stand and chat Thanked him for being part of the Team that helped  us to regain league status and promotion.

It doesn't matter who it was, if their identity was known they would never have to buy a match ticket or pint again.

think that's as far as Gregor could have gone without crossing the line into liable to be honest.

The thing is with Holloway it' simple he didn't come here for the betterment of the football club he came because he thought he could invest some money and get a return on it when a new owner arrived.

He fell flat because he couldn't get his "so called" £100K in quick enough, as soon as the chance to get a return on investment disappeared he hopped it..

  

He wrote an article previously on his time at Town.  Basically, he said when he signed for us he hated the idea,  We were beneath.  But during his time , he changed his opinion.  He realised how much it all meant to the fans and he by the end he loved pulling on the shirt and wearing those black and white stripes. He had me tearing up.
