Quoted from TownSNAFU5
I am in the ABF camp.  Anyone but Fenty.  I prefer the devil I don’t know than the devil I do know.

The last 17 years have not exactly been a picnic have they?


At this moment in time I would take my chances on the bastárd love child of Owen Oyston and Michael Knighton over the current regime.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche
Has anyone ever stopped to ask themselves the following questions.

1. Have any of you been looking at the three consortium in blind hope? Just because you want John Fenty out at all costs.

2. Do any of you have any real substantiated knowledge about the financial clout behind each of the three? Are they all really knights on shining horses?

3. Prior to this GTFC consortium project, were any or all of the three involved in any other business activity together, with a track record of working together?

4. When it has come to signing on the dotted line, has one of them lost their bottle in parting with their cash? Maybe that person didn’t have the cash and was living in cloud cuckoo land, a tyre kicker, of the Michael Knighton kind.

Before anyone starts crucifying John Fenty once again, remember this. He agreed his price and agreed to sell. The consortium agreed to this too. Now is the acid test I spoke about when all of this started. We now get to see if the three man consortium are what you hope they are. Are they Grimsby Town fans that are prepared to do what John Fenty has done for this club AS A VERY MINIMUM

Interesting times and fingers crossed for a favourable outcome


Do you mean like taking Grimsby Town FC out of the Football League TWICE?

Clearly the irony of me spelling it as Schutes was lost on you


Sadly lost on me too.

Just wondering why having money makes you a knight in shining armour when the current ownership have put intercourse all in for the last few years? A knight in shining armour would be someone who could competently run the club using the budget brought in by fans and sponsorship.

Any truth in the rumour around that Shutes is no longer in the Junta, sorry, consortium and a Mr P still has 20% of the club!

I have given you the benefit of the doubt for some time but this bullshit reply for your spelling error has ended that .

I certainly wouldn’t bother crucifying Fenty anytime this weekend for fear that the cúnt would reappear sometime on Monday.


Ha, ha, brilliant, nearly choked on my hot cross bun, one of the funniest things I've read on here 🤣

I too have heard that all is not as it should be with the takeover. Whispers of deadlines missed, etc etc.

Nothing official of course.

1. Yes
      If we don't get the three Amigos then any would do because if Fenty and his bottom wipers stay we won't have a club in 2 years time.

2. The FA do and that's what counts.

3. Does anyone give a intercourse? NO

4. Who knows?

As for what your mate has done for the club.
I will give you the dictionary definition of what he's done for OUR club

Failure
Lack of success "a policy that is doomed to failure"

As stated this club is dead if he stays
He's been a flipping disaster for OUR club.

As to have the area lickers.



In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
