I have been and always will be a fierce critic of Fenty. His heart is in the right place and he is completely dedicated to the club but is not the right man to run it.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle
First and formost Fenty is and always will be a life long mariner. I have not agreed with everything he as done but in hindsight (unless we have hidden debts) he as tried to keep the club financially stable.

His ego does get the better of him which causes a bitter rift with supporters and even fellow ex directors.

Let's face it nobody likes being told they are wrong or critisised for doing the wrong thing.

He`s had plenty of practice I thought he would have been used to it


Time to let Mike Jolley's team and the lads do the talking on the pitch where it matters.

We all want that don't we??

Some fans love him some fans hate him but most just don't care about him either way.

Don't really want to go over the same old ground again.

So I hope a good candidate comes forward and ticks all the boxes and we can say,

Thank you John and goodbye enjoy just being a fan.

Never heard anybody say they hate John Fenty personally he`s just done his time and were fed up with him and he is fed up with us.

So basically we should be grateful for John Fenty because under his watch the club didn't cease to exist?

Maybe I should start thanking my son's school teacher at the end of each school day for successfully keeping him alive for six and three quarter hours.

On to the present,  JF has had his sale price accepted allegedly in the negotiations so he's not being unreasonable by the sounds of it.

Let's hope the takeover happens.

He’s done an interview with Grimsby Independent today. Should be available later this evening.


Shutes?

I've been a critic of John in his past interviews and I have to say that was probably his best interview his has done and came across really well. Well done John and hopefully the transition to Mr Shutes goes smoothly too, interesting times ahead.


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.

quite interesting interview, though the volume was awful. Sounds like the journo had put the microphone out in the corridor!
Fenty ,at long last, seems to have given up on Peaks Parkway, even though he's convinced it's the best option. Without Shutes the ground on the docks will die, so Freeman Street seems to be the option he's planning for
Forgive me GrimRob/getyourfactsright if i've got this arrse about face as it was bloody difficult to hear (don't need any more posts deleted nor snotty p.m.s)


Some crackers for your Fenty Bingo , although i was badly let down when 'tyre kickers' didn't pass his lips  

those old stalwarts - at the end of the day / moving forward / brought to the table/ sat round the table/ it's fair to say /rub of the green all got a good airing.
he loves 'custodian' ;think he said it 5 times, whilst I particularly liked newcomers such as  'income ladder' and the pitch being described as a 'postage stamp'.
he saved the best though, until near the end, when he said 'he wanted to cement home again' , by which i think he simply meant 'repeat' rather than referring to some bizarre, botched d.i.y. job!
