The sad thing is that the football has become secondary and seems to have been that way all season.
It's all been talk of budgets and covid clauses and furloughs and financial survival, followed by chaos on and off the pitch, with a crazy manager and his pathetically amateur squad. He then leaves the "best run club in the country", with "the best fans in the country". We move onto manager number fook knows in the last 5 years.
Then there is the whole Alex May fiasco and smiling Phil looking and sounding as gormless as Worzel Gummidge, while the principal funder (TM) is conspicuous by his absence, apart from his regular and expected cockeyed statements. Takeover talks then ensue and drag on far longer than any of us can bear, only to hit a snag as all things seem to do involving this club
.
This club is a sh1t show, season after season and it's no wonder we are about to fall out of the EFL once again. The actual football team, the reason for everything, is almost a secondary issue, when it should be front and centre. I'm sick of it all. It should be fun and exciting following your local team, with the odd times when it's sad and depressing, losing vital games, getting relegated. All we ever get is the latter and none of the former fun and excitement. It's been this way for far too long and it needs to change.
Fenty is not change, Fenty is more of the same.
I think you have summed up everything perfectly. Ownership should be a side issue to pitch performance first. Man U and the Glaziers come to mind. For honest appraisal, a gold star is on its way. |

I would not put my kids lives on the line for such drivel.
This has to work both ways though clearly none of us know that it was 100% Shutes fault (Although what appears to be his reason is not bothering the others) and many are presuming this is all Fenty’s fault. It is a highly public fact that Fenty wants out And so not a lot of incentives for him to crash the deal really
It’s not obvious from Fenty’s behaviour that he wants out. He might have said he does but I don’t trust him. That’s just my opinion based on his actions. All we do know is the official statement says Shutes pulled out for personal reasons. You know, like anyone would pull out of a business venture for personal reasons. What makes you say it’s Shutes’ fault? There could be something serious going on his life that comes before a basket case of a football club. |

Why is he? We don't know the reasons for his backing out. Perhaps he backed out because someone else ruined it. We have no idea at this stage.
We don't even know it is ruined. Talks are ongoing.
As for the poll; it's time for a change and we need new blood at the helm. I've already left in my head and whether I return is down to what happens next.
Ginny...is that the same kind of thing Fenty had going on in his head when he said the loans had been written off so wouldn't be looking for repayment? Though I take it you are more a man of your word..... |

I would not set much store by fentys claims he wants out, his ego and utter lack of a role without being chairman/principal funder/major shateholder/whatever he is calling himself this week means he will cling on if he possibly can. I doubt his personality could cope with being a failed nobody. |

In a nutshell. Shutes has done a runner, Stockwood and Pettit don't know what to do. Phil is still doing whats told and when to do it, using the club website for the use of a private individual, guess who?????????? Fenty is still in charge and saying everything is not my fault, but I will consider a new offer!!!! Basically, if the consortium members don't like what he wants he taking his ball home instead of his cheque. He's continuing to stick 2 fingers up at the fans ably assisted by his hit-man Filipe. So nothing has really changed since January. |

What exactly is the latest? Fenty still getting hammered it seems, but hasn’t the deal stalled because Shutes has pulled out?
i would've thought the thread title and the options might have given you a clue......... |

The latest is that Shutes has pulled out, probably because he was only in it for money and realises he won't be making any. Then everybody makes up stories to blame it on Fenty, and then that becomes fact, so we have a poll on something that isn't even happening.
It might be worth taking a thought about what the consortium think to this constant stream of abuse and how much they want to get involved if they, despite their best efforts, aren't successful on the pitch. Seeing a tirade of abuse at somebody can't fill you with enthusiasm for putting yourself into that position.
Talks are ongoing and the deal is not dead.
and you accuse me of making things up.......... ps still waiting to herar what fenty is going to do with those 200,000 shares he was gifted pps if i was lying how come your mate confirmed in his statement last night that the deal was supposed to be signed,sealed and delivered yesterday? |
