Why were none of the other board members/trust/staff saying anything about the (quite obvious) capitulation that club was going through and the
Quite obvious fact that the club was in total free fall
Other board members, excluding the trust, were his men. Trust board members were tied up with company law about what they could say. Staff had mortgages and bills to pay or face unemployment. A bully knows how to manipulate to maintain his position. |

That’s how I see it... I’ve said before, I work with a woman who’s dad worked close with Fenty in the early years of Fivestar, not long until he sold it to be fair...he used the word bully...despises the man and isn’t even a town fan... |

I admit that I sat on the fence regarding Fenty until the day he invited a convicted criminal to Blundell Park last December.
I always knew that he was power hungry and a penny pincher but I told myself "at least we still have a club and he won't demand it all back at once."
Reading these articles makes me feel sick that we allowed this circus to go on for so long.

I’m still awaiting a response from Fenty apologists or those that didn’t think he was that bad...I really am curious as to why they wouldn’t speak out etc. even though the facts clearly pointed to a deluded narcissistic sharp object killing our club...
I’m sure they’ll trot out the usual flimsy defence of ‘we could be like Bury’...funny really, had the May secret gone through we probably would’ve ended up like Bury...
Been trying to get a responses out of them for ages.Maybe they do not provide any justification for him,because there is none. |

Another great piece by CA. Makes for great reading, but also disheartening how he was effectively able to continue unchallenged for so long. He may have been a complete disaster for the club, but he had an uncanny ability to get control and convince people he was always acting for the best interests of the club and Town.
Every paragraph points to a man with a Narcissistic personality disorder, a pattern of self-centred, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Others often describe people with NPD as cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding. Fenty demonstrated all these hallmarks throughout his tenure and the cost of allowing such an individual to run our club has been plain to see.
Said this years ago and got shot down in flames,additionally to having a N.P.D. I also think he had a saviour complex,which led him to get very frustrated when he was not seen as such. |

He managed to oust all of his opponents from the board so there was nobody left to question him as they were replaced by cronies. Quite scary when you read all at once how ruthless he was at getting rid of anyone who could challenge his ownership of the club or his stadium plans. We didn't even get to the manipulation of the trust and effectively forcing a vote in his favour to get shares and any power the trust had to oppose his decisions removed. When they mentioned the tour video Fenty did with how the staff react to him it says it all. The whole video is absolute cringe and nobody in the office looks like they want him near them. |

Pretty clear why the club as been staved of investment nobody would trust him and be able to work with the man. Over the years I forgot all these little issues which resulted in our great club being the laughing stock of football. Looking forward to episode 3 even though it’s hard to read and brings a tear to my eye when I remember the great years before fenty

Just rewatched that cringefest of a video. The man doesn’t even know when the Findus was built.

I dread to think how long it took to research each of these pieces. Again, superbly written and so important that these things are documented.
Like others, I'd forgotten so many of the things that are mentioned.

I honestly thought John was a fan, at the very least

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |
