Remember hearing on here that one of the consortium member is the son of John Petit of Petit's butchers.

Just had a slight thought/worry which someone might be able to shed some light on.

Do we know for sure he is the butcher's son?

If he is, indeed, the butcher's son, and is supposedly a wealthy investor, rich enough to put money into the club and push us forward etc, why would he have allowed his father/family business of 125 years to go out if business?

This doesn't give off the 'wealthy investor' rolling in surplus, expendable cash....

For the record I am incredibly excited by the prospect of the takeover etc, I'm just trying to iron out a few questions/concerns.

The last thing I want is for the club to end up less financially stable.

He's made his money away from Grimsby - the butcher's business had been taken over by John Pettit's son in law some time ago.

I don't see what relevance this is to the takeover.

Yes, we know he's the butcher's son.

Savvy businessmen don't keep unviable businesses going and we don't even know if he had anything to do with his Dad's business. He's part of a real estate investment company and solicitor by trade so probably isn't bringing the wonga to the party, but has other expertise that can be useful. Chill your beans brother, Town aren't going to the dogs because John Pettit butchers went out of business 3 years ago.

With the Pettit family on board, we should get cracking burgers and pies at Blundell Park 🍔🌭🍟

Regardless of how much cash any of Shutes, Stockwood or Pettit have lying down the back of the sofa surely the aim is for the club to become sustainable without the reliance on a single benefactor?

Cheers guys.

The fact the business had changed hands answers my question.

Petit [sic] Butchers sounds like a small time foreign investment vehicle

Any information like that can be found on Companies House - you can search through director's names or companies.

That was Fenty’s plan. However, he didn’t bring forward thinking ideas for investment into the club, meaning we were always stuck with a relatively low budget.
