Put his money where his mouth is????

I presume you mean loan us the money then put it where his mouth is.


This is no different to any other football club, If you are not happy why don't you offer to give the club all your savings,
Not as a loan either as you obviously don't agree with that.

John Fenty's problem was never that he closed his cheque book. He was probably to loose with it. His problem was he helped spend the money and chose those who also did. It was kind of like watching a drunk man in front of ebay.

Quoted from Squarkus

The quality is better than last year, we have a great nucleus of a team that PH is just putting the final pieces together, have you seen them play yet or are you going on what you have read on here, Fenty has yet again put his money where his mouth is as we have a better budget than last year, PH thankfully is not in a rush to get players in that don’t fit into his plans hence why he has given the trialists a really good bash at it, to me i think PH with his bigger budget personally will get it right as previously we have bought players in on a panic basis and got it wrong, smaller squad better quality, so why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and get to the club and support the team (as opposed to what you hear) and stop giving Fenty some Sh-t for something he has said.

I think you will have to hang about a bit to see if the quality is better than last season. Not seen any of the new guys play for us yet but on paper(IMO) only Brown brings anything better. The new defenders will have go some to better Big Mac.
Other teams I expect to be up there with us have mostly got there players in and some are top quality. If these guys on trial don't work out Ph will be bringing in players on a panic basis because the new season will be on top of us. Why not give Fenty sh1t for something he says?? The bloke should learn to keep his mouth shut instead of spouting crap ever time he opens it.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Quoted from oldun
My understanding is that this year's budget is down a little on last year's. JF indicated that this would be the case at a fans forum, but still competitive for our league.


Yes indeed the budget for this season has been reduced. It's not for me to say by how much.

Just what I keep saying, lets wait until the season is well under way before some on here cream their pants at a.n.other signing.

There is a vast difference between a fishy poster giving his OPINION (sh1t or not) and the top man spouting excrement (as he has done on many occasions) as a statement of FACT to con more people to buy Season tickets.
I know he says he's been misquoted. He would say that wouldn't he.
Far to many bottom lickers on here me thinks.

Big Mac?? He was appalling in preseason. I remember watching us lose to grantham and wondering how he was a footballer.
He came good but we got about a dozen good games from him. He had afew great games but wasn't consistant enough


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

Could have put it more politely but not more accurately. I've started to track respective league positions now compared to 10 years ago and am struggling to find any club that has dropped further down the league ladder than we have under Mr Fenty's stewardship.

I'll get lots of negatives but frankly I don't give a toss - this regime has taken GTFC to a new low and is loaded with debt.
