I don’t think being taken in by Holloway was a bad thing necessarily.
It was a natural reaction I guess, it did feel good and we did want it to work. I personally was never a fan but that’s not to say I didn’t want it to be successful.
Sadly, it just wasn’t meant to be and perhaps Mr Holloway lacked the moral compass as well as the other ‘leaders’ at the club. Sad really isn’t it...

Fenty is a control freak, loves a fight and is going nowhere! The sooner we accept that, the sooner we can get back to watching appalling football in a dying stadium!

So, you'll be going back in?

Great article. The words of Podge and the bit about Vernam are the most powerful example of why we have failed to achieve success under Fenty.
Feel so angry but so powerless. Still can’t see him going.

"Hurst obviously got fed up with it and went to the mighty Shrewsbury."
So why would he come back to a club that currently resembles Beirut for chaos?
Has Hurst even commented or been approached.
Even though out of work I doubt he would want to come back, despite being the "popular" choice.

Hurst wouldn’t come back lol under the current regime, if he did I’d be shocked. Why would he come back and work for the same clowns that let him walk out the door?

Didn't someone say that Hurst is still getting paid by Scunny, so effectively on gardening leave? If so, he can bide his time for his next appointment.

it was a very good article. It was more passion than craft, but I think that works for these times. The politically partizan stuff at the end detracted from it, for me simply because it wasn't needed, but it was still very worthwhile. I was always on the fence about Mr Fenty, to be honest. i saw him in the the club shop once a few years back, he was great with my kids, allowed them to step on the pitch, stuff like that...which for an expat like me was quite an eye-opener. Wrote to him a couple of times too and he replied in such a way that I took him for a proper GTFC fan. And, if I am being perfectly honest, I still think he is. But he has let himself down, badly, obviously in some very distinct ways. So much so that people who were able to give him the benfit of the doubt, now cannot. I am in that category. I think there was a time when John actually controlled everything, but I think events have now taken over, he won't be able to out-run this shameful fiasco. Too many moving parts that are out in public, laid bare, dirty launndry etc. It's heart-breaking, really, even more than the defeat to Bristol Rovers at Wembley that left all three of my kids in tears while we were watching in Beijing. I will never be one to kick someone when they are down, even if they are my enemy, I suppose it is my curse, and I won't join in with the name calling. But you know what? I completley understand it, and if you need to do it, have at it, Mr Fenty has to listen, one way or another. I think his days are much numbered, and I will raise a glass to that. Take care fellow Mariners and here's to a victory at Morecombe. UTM!

But a huge majority of the fans don't accept it. Why should we? It's our club. We'll be here after he's gone.
