Don't you mean, I like to hide behind a keyboard where I can bend fact to suite my argument, Why not agree to meet at a game where there is allot of people about


I didn't see the invite as a personal threat, I would have declined the invite even if you had issued it, nothing personal. I don't see why I would have to meet in person to ask the questions I have already asked, it's not TV's Question Time.

I attend plenty of games both home and away and there are plenty on here who know me.  What facts am I bending and what is my argument.  I have asked specific questions to the farce that surrounded one of the biggest flare up's between two people who could have taken this club forward.  The person I asked those questions of, seems to be in the know, hiding from answering them either proves they aren't in the know or the answers aren't in their favour enough for them to answer them straight.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Correct me if I am wrong,

I do not think anybody have brought this up in this long running saga,

BUT

When Fenty ask for 200,000 shares off the Trust for a seat on the board,

He did not have to give them 2 seats,

As far as I know each board member has an equal vote,

So John was being more than fair in giving the Trust the extra seat.

Why people are concerned that the benign loans are a problem is above me,

Fenty has said many times he will not put the club at risk,

BUT

If a billionaire comes in and wants to buy the club,

John asking for his 2 or 3 million back will not break the billionaire's bank.

Fair enough that JF wanted those shares so he could establish a majority giving him 51% and control as the only remaining investor. A small point I would like you to think about, the £200K shares obtained is more than what the other directors hold and offer as a loan to the club combined.  

I whole heartedly agree that it is good we have people from the trust in the boardroom.

I know he's not a striker but the timing of the signing is usually irrelevant, as didn't we sign Pond 1 day before the Southport (first game) or something.... And he turned out amazing.

Thanks for the invite but I don't meet strangers off the internet and I think the questions are clear enough to understand for someone who demonstrates that they are in the know.



Not a stranger to most 93. I am John Fenty and replete I will answers your questions in person.You are one of a few that trawl the past to no benefit. I am not prepared to repeatably defend against your off the mark questions or discuss this matter in a public arena.

So it's up to you fella, are you man enough to accept my invite to meet personally.

It shows to some degree your character to even publish my kind gesture to meet ,,, the objective of which is to dispel some of you misguided notions. It's up to you what you think after that.

I Promise, I don't bite and am very patient with ignorant people.

Go on meet me. LOL

But will 93 or any of the other " Fenty Bashers " agree to meet and have their questions and concerns answered? I certainly won't hold my breath on this one. They may be brave behind a key-board but " face to face " isn't part of their character.

22 years HM Forces, Afghanistan, Iraq and many other conflict zones, brave enough to put myself on the line, is that man enough for you.
