It's damning of his reign when people are literally queuing up to take shots at him at the minute.

People still technically employed by him are taking swipes and digs, understandably they couldn't do this before.  But there isn't a single respected word coming out that puts him in a decent light.


I’ve met plenty of non town fans who are queueing up too...I work with a woman who’s old man worked very closely to Fenty...she hates him almost as much as me and she thinks we’re called Grimsby Rovers...

Agreed...some of the folk that sit around me at BP literally couldn’t see he’d  done anything wrong, ever.

I’m still yet to find a Fenty follower that can provide a substantial answer as to why he isn’t that bad and why he’s not regarded an absolute disaster by them. Simpym trotting out the ‘it could be worse, we could be bury’ excuse is just futile and irrelevant...


You have to remember people were not exactly queueing up to buy the club then. Everyone had seen the Parker fiasco and were fighting shy. In fact it was only when a takeover became linked to other possibilities of redevelopment that things began to move and those who were in the status quo camp started to believe that what you’re proposing was actually possible even if it still meant down, down.

When the takeover goes through there will be stories coming out of BP that will make your eyes water. It will be a mixture of disbelief and incredulous laughter and although it will be great to look towards a better future, I think it is important for people to vent their spleen for a few days and settle some scores.

I was thinking about Matt Dean's tweet and I know it was designed to be an example of how low we had gone....but we were asking professional footballers to train with balls that were knackered! The penny pinching and small mindedness had got to such a point that we weren't providing the players with the most basic tool of their jobs. It's absolutely f*cking disgraceful.

Up to a couple of years ago I wasn’t that opinionated either way about JSF, could see good and bad. However after certain indirect dealings I’ve had and other stuff that has come out, I now know quite how poisonous he is. The more you look the more you see too. The weight that will be lifted from the club when he goes will be immense.


Literally my feelings. I didn't dig deap until the last few months and never reallly had much for or against him. Now I know and see more, although I'm not a 'basher' or keyboard warrior, he has to go.

This is exactly the type of reaction you get from people freed of a dictatorship.

When someone who is simply incompetent leaves a post, the swiping tends to stop. Let bygones be bygones. We move on.

When a dictator is finally overthrown, people queue up to have a pop in among street celebrations.

Still sick to death of Fenty blaming our demise on the ITV Digital collapse like no other club also went through the same excrement. There has been 1 consistency throughout all of this excrement we've been through and it's Fenty. Can't wait for him to just pack up and get lost. Town won't miss you whatsoever Tory brown-nosed male masturbator.

The whole lot should come out. Reveal what has been dragging us down all these years. Only then can we make a proper balanced assessment of his tenure. It’s hard to accept the good points, and give any credit due when people can’t see the bad.


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.

The players were training with misshapen balls whilst their manager told anyone who would listen that we were the best run club he had ever been at.

Makes me wonder what shape the balls were at some of his other employers.
