a succinct, devastating condemnation of Fenty & Holloway from Tondeur
Add that to the series of DN35 podcast tweets and it's incredible that the reaction has been so restrained

Good. A pity he waited so long to use his platform to criticise these two. One is long gone and the other will be out the door in days.

Probably because Fenty would have banned him, and Crofty, from BP. As Fillipe has woken up I would like to hear his defence of Fenty against what JT has said.

He wouldn’t have been allowed in the ground again if he had.

And Tondeur knows the Principle Funder far better than the vast majority of us on here, he'll have seen it first hand and 'in the building'.

I also love that he just said 'Ian Holloway' and that was enough to tell us what he meant was 'flat cap wearing bullsh*t merchant and all round f*cking gobsh*te'

The glorious irony being that it’s now Fenty that will never be allowed in the ground again.

I was told several years ago by a horse, not JT, that Fenty had banned refreshments ( tea and sandwiches ) for the press to save money. Truth.

He missed a money making opportunity there. He could have got that young player to make it and sold it as Starbuck’s


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Good idea my friend but I understand he's deaf to any form of improvement by investment.

Pretty accurate description .... shame he didn’t have the balls to question all of the things he mentioned on air when the relevant people were here, most of the time he swerved big questions. Personally I don’t rate his commentary another case of we’ve got comfortable with mediocre so just accept it ... change needed that’s if we have radio coverage of course

Then that horse is taking bullshit

I am not defending JSF, but make sure the facts are correct, first before, making incorrect statements.

Refreshments have never been banned in the Press Room, during my tenure.

I have been serving refreshemnts to the media, since 2015 upto the last game before Covid 19 in March 2020.

I have spent five years building up a good repuatation amongst the media attending BP. Not many clubs in the lower reaches of the fooball pyamid provide refreshments to the media, some clubs you are lucky to get a drink and that can be limited, through a voucher system.

At Grimsby you are greeted and welcomed with a choice of unilimited beverages, along with several platters of sandwiches, sausage rolls, pork pie and a selection of cakes.

FACT

Can wait to get back in there.

Good point
Where is Fillipe??
Would love to hear him sum up Fenty time as principal funder.


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.

Frankly I believe my horse who walk all the corridors of BP and other clubs. He cannot stand Fenty or what he stood for at BP and for speaking his mind, I believe was banned (this is the impression he gave me). Not only does he have reputation for speaking the truth but is well respected in all the clubs he's served.

You may like buttering up to Fenty but my informant told me to my face and I rather believe him than you or Fenty. Now in the twilight of his years, I do not want him pestered by you or Fentyites so I have no intention of naming him. Once he has passed away I have no problem with repeating what he told me and naming him, but until then you will have to wait.

PS  You're not a friend of FN are you because you defend Fenty just like him.

Just before the Harrogate match, JT came under a lot of criticism about his commentaries who more or less said what you have said. After the Harrogate match, many realised what an excellent commentator JT is and reversed their comments.

If you had the misfortune, as I had, to listen to the commentator at the Harrogate and Exeter games you then realise that JT is pretty good, not without faults though. You also have to remember that although JT is the mouthpiece he also has others in the background who tells him what he can't say!

My main complaint about the BBC is that when JT has not been allowed to travel, and why didn't they send him to Exeter? Then the commentators, whose wages we pay, are very biased unprofessional, and mostly very poor quality. The bus's at Harrogate, constant referrals to Torquay at Exeter are just 2 examples that come to mind.

As I said he's not perfect, but who is?

Then he has never been in the Press Room at BP, maybe this horse is a ghost that haunts you. The fact you use this is the IMPRESSION he gave me, says it all.
I am telling the truth, which is the FACT, not IMPRESSION, your mate is feeding you.

Could not give a toss who you informant is, I like people to know when people are posting bullshit, thats all.

Whether I am a friend of JSFor not, has no bearing on the fact, that your informant has given you INCORRECT information on this matter, I am just make it clear that on this occasion you are wrong.

I have been looking after the Press Room for over 5 years, on a voluntary basis, building a good reputation through the media circle that attend BP on match days.

Shall we cut out the insults and throwing pork pies at each other, we are both right. You have been there 5 years and my man is way before this time, but in the Fenty era. So let's agree that we're both right.
