When Fenty was seen as the saviour and people were saying about the money he’d put in to save us etc . Several of us posted it was loans which he has or will get paid back in full. In real financial terms during his reign of terror the average 2.5k season ticket holders paid the way and never asked or got a penny back.
When Stockwood comes out and says every penny from ST sales will be invested in the squad I believe him. 5K or so just WOW what a war chest it gives PH and what an opportunity it gives the Club to keep moving forward.

What was more terrifying when you think of it is how easily people were hoodwinked by Fenty when the evidence literally exposed him as a liar…several of us maintained the same stance throughout and few followed us, then when the evidence finally became so overwhelming people finally realised.

I know there’s a few that still think he saved us and believe his nonsense, that’s their choice, sadly, you can lead a horse to water…

Fenty and his acolytes lacked anything, vision, desire, ideas, cash, effort or a genuine care. They were clueless and more importantly, Fenty lied. Lied throughout the whole thing and still believes he did nothing wrong. Clueless.

They’re gone and the club is now everything they claimed it couldn’t be. Perhaps culture and that change is a factor in our promotion at the first time of asking.

I think, for many, aside from all those things, when we saw that amazing hand painted picture that Fenty ‘won’ at a high jacked auction which became a male private swinging event between him and Mullins, just casually lent against the wall with zero care or probably highlighted how little he really thought of the club.

His new ventures will fail, it may take a while, but they will…

Fenty was utterly delusional so I doubt the fact his failures have been fully exposed within 12 months by 1878 will get through to him.

Quoted from Bogtrotter
The supporters club share situation demonstrates his poor judgement; he loses nothing in the grand scheme of things if he were to gift them back and would gain a modicum of good will, but he seems incapable of making that leap for some reason.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; I encountered him professionally when he was FSF owner and before his GTFC term. I came away with the impression he was smalltime then, and nothing subsequently has changed my opinion.


As that guy phoned in and said on RH in the midst of the many festive statements "Fenty was a prat then and he's still a prat now."

“The club is now everything they claimed it couldn’t be”

That’s a brilliant line and absolutely flipping bang on.

Did CodAlmighty ever finish the series of articles on Fenty up to the present day?

Seem to think they stopped just after our first relegation into non-league.

Did Fillipe ever come and join the celebrations on here. This would be the decent thing to do. Possibly I missed his messages, any real supporter cannot fail to be ecstatic at this season. I am still milking it now , it really was that good. Utm

The culture seems to be the biggest change at the club so far. The impression I get is that it's become a really good place to work and that bodes well for future recruitment. From the squad, coaches to the office, boardroom, chefs, kitchen staff and so on they all seem to speak highly of the club. Nothing is ever perfect but it seems to have become a much better place for everyone it takes to run a football club and players who left have nothing but good things to say about everyone working there.

In the past it often seemed negative and a lot of people had some not nice things to say about how difficult Fenty was to work with. The new regime wanted to bring in their own people and it seems like they bought in competent people on merit and not random friends and associates that put nothing into the club and have no idea how to run a football club or a business. He didn't want competent people on the board he just wanted people who wouldn't challenge him on anything. He handed out board positions to his solicitor and accountant for free and said there were there to provide expertise...I'm still not sure what their contributions actually were beyond trying to protect his bubble and going after all detractors legally.

I think this video sums up Fenty's reign, looking very proud of himself while stroking his own ego as he parades around looking proud of a rusty old fridge and how little he's spent modernising anything. Then everybody shown on camera looks super uncomfortable around him and tense. The part that kills me is the Bill Shankly memorial picture that just looks like a print out that was cut out and stuck up there. Buy a frame at least...  https://youtu.be/ZpaLKe9vFPk

It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction knowing that Fenty and his appeasers read these comments daily and now not a single damned thing he can do about it. The days of midnight wine fuelled rants are over and the turtle neck is once again consigned to yesteryear . 1878 doing things right since day one and those beastly car scratching pyro smuggling nobodies are loving it.
