When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I liked the part where the owners of this website helped Fenty by giving him a platform to argue with fans opinions and threaten them, then helped him get personal details of somebody he didn't like so he could threaten them in person, while acting as a place for fan discussion they acted as Fenty's secret police.  

The Trust got a lot of criticism on here for giving in to Fenty's demands but none of the people who run this website or that were a part in aiding Fenty in his witch hunt have once apologised for subjecting fans to that or aiding his ego stroking by giving him a platform to speak and shoot down anyone who dares speak against him.

More sickening stuff. The part below has made me particularly angry

In February a number of meetings between Fenty and the Mariners Trust took place to discuss how the alleged "funding gap" could be bridged until the end of the season. The outcome of these meetings was that the Trust would ballot it’s membership (then around 300) on a proposal to gift £200,000 worth of shares to Fenty and give him back overall control of the club. As part of the deal, Fenty would purchase an additional £200,000 worth of shares in the club - something that he'd proposed to do as part of the original deal with Mike Parker anyway. The end of season accounts show that what actually happened was that he converted some of his existing loans with the club into shares.

I read this today and then read our new chairman’s tweet/literature review and still can’t believe he’s gone and the calibre of his replacement.

Absolutely amazing when you consider, in the early part, Fenty is quoted as saying 'He didn't want to own the football cub'.

A lot of misleading statements and porkies have been said over the years, and of course, it was always down to the fans who misunderstood what was said.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
