In a recent interview Macca mentioned something around Debbie and the new owners brining "standards" to the club, I think the kind of thing we've seen in the Twitter clips illustrates that as well as a bit of overdue minor investment.

Even though it's a pre season friendly I can't wait to get back to BP on Saturday.

Quoted from pen penfras


Pretty sure the tyre kicker was primarily Shutes. It's pretty obvious that he only wanted to be involved to make money and was trying to amplify the bad will against Fenty to push him out and lower the price. When that didn't happen, he backs out at the last minute having contributed to a whole load of chaos that left the 2 people who actually care about the town and club to pick up the pieces. JS comments about Shutes suggest they're unhappy with him.


Based on what evidence? There are a lot easier ways of making money than taking over decrepit football clubs, and trying to turn dockside industrial facilities into arts centres.

JS only made noises to the effect he was drunk off with Shutes. The obvious reason for that is because he pulled out at the last minute causing JS and AP to bear a bigger financial risk.


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.

Who knows what the truth is, but one unequivocal fact is that Fenty was the architect of his own demise when he went into business with a serially convicted criminal (and not petty crime, either). That one act transcended all of the bad will he had generated over the years (whether you believe that to be fairly or unfairly), and made hanging on to his control of the club completely and utterly untenable.

Let's not make him out to be the victim of subterfuge here.

I think without Shutes we may not  have got Jason and Andrew and been stuck with Fenty. If that what a 'tyre kicker' does then I am very happy with Shutes doing the kicking.

And to claim Shutes was only in it to make money in the same sentence mentioning Fenty takes the biscuit.

I'm surprised that anybody believes a word the Principle Funder says, evidence of his bullsh*t is clearly documented in Cod Almighty's Fenty Years pieces.

'Pen penfras' is Welsh for 'cod head'. Learn something new every day. Slow day at work etc.

I hope those transparent panels are fixed securely, or someone in the lower tier could be injured.

The Findus Stand was a poor design 39 years ago. Most upper tier seating is accessed via aisle vomitories, with a refreshment concourse and toilets on the same level.
