Director's Loans to Football Clubs

Just think if this deal goes ahead and Fenty gets all his money back after he has enjoyed free admission , lunches and drinks + travel expenses.


How much have we spent during his time ?

I can not hear anybody saying they want their money back.

Quoted from DB


I have never had a blinkered few of anything and if you had cared to read my posts you would see that I always respect other peoples opinions, that my friend is not wearing blinkers, unlike you.

Firstly, I'm not interested in Ipswich, only Town
Secondly, at least Evans wants Ipswich to become a better club
Thirdly, the only White Knights I'm interested in are the remaining 2, Stockwood & Pettit

Do yourself a favour and list on here all the major improvements to BP Fenty has made. Then, apart from a portacabin, list the major improvements Fenty has made to the Training Facilities. Then list the league positions where Town finished while Fenty is in charge.

Not much meat on the bone for £2.5 million and years of underinvestment. Take a real look with those rose coloured specs on.


Your point was that Evans lost money from selling the club to new owners for the benefit of the club. 15 minutes of reading press releases and I can calculate that he has got back almost every penny he put in minus interest. That is exactly what Fenty is asking for. Evans may even have made money depending on whether the £40M he sold the club for includes the £21M of repaid loans or not. It typically doesn't, so there's a chance he's actually made a profit.

He's played a blinder and managed to get people thinking he's generous whilst doing it. Fair play to him.


When will you post all the major improvements Fenty has made?

Maybe when you acknowledge that you were wrong and it turns out that this super generous gesture that puts Fenty to shame is exactly the same thing that Fenty is doing.

Plus I'm not even posting to defend Fenty, just to correct these ridiculous statements like everybody involved with a football club makes benevolent donations because they're wonderful people, when the handful of those people is far outweighed by the majority who get back what they put in or more

Are you related to FN, as you tend to ignore easy questions put to you. You then make up something entirely different to defend your lack of actions.

It’s flipping lousy that Fenty will be getting his money back. We all know, 15 years of being shite, walks away with his money back and leaves us in the excrement.  
A skid mark on our proud history.

It's a shame for a man so apparently ego-centric, that in failing to write off [any of] his loans he has failed to recognise that he is in effect writing off his legacy. That £2.5m is the only thing of tangible value that he can legitimately claim to have delivered in his nigh-on two decade reign (or should that be 'rain'?) at the club, and with that gone there is nothing to obscure the smoking rubble of the football club he has all but razed to the ground.

The past, sadly, cannot be changed. However, the future of this club would look a whole lot brighter without the millstone of Fenty's benign loans hanging from its neck. Benign loans which, incidentally, have been slowly killing the club over many years.

Writing them off in the best interest of the club he claims to support, languishing in the dire corner he has himself forced it into, would restore a modicum of respect for the man in my eyes and I'm sure many others. Easy for me to say, it's not my money, but all I would suggest is that whilst you can't take it with you, your memory may live on for all perpetuity.

I really have no idea what that is. Is it a publication about the entertainment business old fruit? Certainly has that cabaret ring to the title.

Razzle!!!..very good publication for the broad-minded 'reader'...

Quoted from GollyGTFC

It's okay arguing the toss with me, but Kieran Maguire is the most respected expert in football finance not employed within the game in the country and teaches the subject at the University of Liverpool. He has acted as adviser to countless people looking to take over football clubs and is regularly on BBC News whenever there's a football finance issue in the news.

But you know better from a couple of screen grabs?

Incidentally i wouldnt trust anything a scouser says.
