Proof? And no he didn't. Just give over it was agreed to put loans in which changed on leaving of the board and that's the individual's choice. Ie he chose to get something (shares for his investment).
It makes no difference in any event so your point.
If Mr Fenty had purchased shares instead of loans you would say those champing at the he bit to put countless millions in the club were being put off by his overwhelming shareholding.
Facts are in any form shares and or loans he is deemed in Finacial terms to control the club.
Put up or shut up. This is very boring and achieving zilch!!!
Facts are we have a competitive budget which is backed by one individual a fantastic commercial support and some great fans who actually back the club and who want the best and don't trawl over the past for no good reason.
Listen sunshine I was just pointing out that what you said in your comment was not what Mr Parker said in a radio interview, I heard it from the man himself not some jumped up internet warrior. |

But we're not obscure in non-league. We're one of the giants because we have the resources to challenge at the top every season. Every year has arguably also been an improvement on the previous one.
If our funding was suddenly taken away we'd struggle to even finish in the top half, which would mean crowds would drop, and the chances of even making the-offs would be pretty remote.
Er actually we are, I don't live or work in Grimsby and in my job meet all sorts of football fans from around the country and when we talk about football and who I support many don't even know what league we are in. And if my memory is correct didn't JF mention something about a shortfall of £500,000 a season by not being in the Football League. |

No we won't. We will just finish in the top five. Look at the play-off games we have had Rob and you will see that we came up short on class each time. That's the pattern that will continue. We grind our way into the play-offs and then fall short in the knock-out, losing a bit more credibility each time.
The rules of football are the same whether it's a league game or a play-off. To get into the top 5 you have to have a good winning record over 46 games. After that it boils down to a one-off game. Nothing is pre-determined in any football game, either team can win, especially when there is such a close record between the two sides as in a play-off game. We simple have too small a sample size to say Grimsby can't win a play-off in this division. |

Come off it Rob, I'd love it but we would have to be the luckiest side alive to do it with the strategy we have had. "Hard to beat" isn't quite the same as "likely to win" and the law of averages just doesn't make up for a lack of quality players. |

I don't get the mentality of some posters who seem to think because you criticise the owner/manager/players you are not a proper supporter and should give up following Town. That's a very Stalinist attitude. Everyone's entitled to express their opinions, even those who believe JF is saving the club  . |

Perfect, make the bloke telling the truth look like the bad guy with a patronising reply, which I am, and you know it.
The "Truth" is that the members of the Trust decided to give the shares to JF in a democratic vote. I assume you voted against? Do you take your bat and ball home if the party that you vote for in an election don't get elected?- I genuinely don't understand what is so difficult to understand about that? Actually I don't think you are a bad guy-don't be so hard on yourself. |

And nothing was ever improved by accepting mediocrity.
Yep...you are right. Tonight I'll chain myself to the gates of Blundell Park in a powerful stand against mediocrity. I expect you and others of a like mind to join me. That will show 'em. |

So why don't you and your colleagues on the trust use your board positions to ask Mr Fenty to write off some of the money that he has put into the club during the past 12 years. This would show that his intention is not to cripple the club financially as it currently appears on the balance sheet.
Would you write off your money in his position? |
