Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle


Let's keep some perspective, Gadaffi and Saddam were effectively mass murderers who ruled entire countries through fear. Fenty was a really sh*t football club chairman (and a bit of a c*nt, it would appear).


I never said he killed anybody, but according to reports he did rule by fear, which was the point I was making.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

There was also the comment that “he’s not ideal but what would happen if he wasn’t here”. Obviously in our case 1878 have got a more effective plan to fill the gap than the Coalition did in 2003.


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.

What a superbly researched piece. The incompetence really is breathtaking.

The independent ofcom conclusions into his spats with humberside really do show him up as having little attachment to reality when it comes to his thin skin. A toy town trump.

The amount of club money burnt through in repeated and woefully disorganised attempts trying to secure the stadium move is eye watering.

I hope the Newell era is covered in all the gory details including red faced encounters and tie-pulling. The whole thing would be a hilarious tale of a narcissist ballsing up everything he touches if it wasn't so tragic.

This is what I took away from it too. It appears that most of the money that ended up being paid back to him was money spunked on rubbish plans to get a new stadium. Why was he so desperate to chuck money at it to try and make it reality? Was he hoping to make money from it himself? Town Centre Living Ltd and Alex May would probably give some indication as to what his real intentions were.

The galling bit is that the prick has had every penny paid back, money wasted out of the club because he's incompetent.

Funny isn’t it, whenever he spoke about things that caused the clubs demise; ITV, relegation, Covid, loss of income streams, the fans, player wages etc...he never ever mentions the thousands he spunked on a project designed only to make him cash or gain him some kudos...in all the thousands spent we are no nearer to a stadium ever being built...

It’s astounding people ever supported him, none of this is fictional or unknown, it’s all been out there and yet the naysayers, the Fenty out folk were the ones ridiculed at times, shot down and told to keep their fictional and cruel views to themselves...the man was being pilloried...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Yes, why was he so desperate to chuck GTFCs money at it?

One thing was for certain. If you were a good player worth keeping at GTFC during Fenty's reign, you could guarantee your next contract offer would be a pisstake.

You have to wonder what kind of reputation the club has built up among players during Fenty’s reign, and how many signings we lost because of it.
