I agree  this is oh dear but and I hope to be quoted on this later on  ,I have some faith in Paul Hurst
This approach is very iterative and step-by-step you improve but the anus predecessor left one of the biggest messesthat we have ever been in
I firmly believe that once we get off the mark we will have a decent run, whether this will be on time or not is debatable but I truly believe the team is improving And I genuinely believe that we will go on a decent run of results. Paul Hurst approach to management was always a bit of a slow burner but we always hit the play-offs which was about where our budget was.
I have not thrown in the towel at all and I also think that in this division the margins between the better and the worst teams are not so great and so playing the better teams is not quite as bad as it sounds

Being bottom of the whole EFL would be hugely symbolic of Fenty's reign at GTFC if the takeover goes through within the next couple of days..

Championship to bottom of the league..Desperate need of a new stadium, desperate need of new training facilities, desperate need of modernisation throughout the club, desperate need to rebuild the brand image of GTFC, desperate need to rebuild the first team squad and desperate need of a decent playing surface at BP..

Bravo John, bravo..

Took us from Championship to non-league. That, by anyone's standards, is an appalling record to have.

But the story doesn't even end there.

After fighting to get out of non-league for six years, we look like going back there again.

Perhaps we should remember John Fenty for these words of wisdom he spoke after Jolley left the club:

"But, when all's said and done, success generally comes very quickly—if it’s going to come."

Like he'd know what football success looks like. Nearly two decades of abject failure. But I do agree that there is some poetry in him leaving us rock bottom. Means the consortium barely need to lift a finger to surpass his achievements.

Or when we appointed Jolley and the club statement ended:

"We are confident the good times are just around the corner"

Still waiting.
