Quoted from Davec

To say some of his horses recently has raced is pushing it I think.

Watched a couple of races with his horses in and they have basically just ambled along and get pulled up before they have even completed one circuit!


Agree with that, even his runner today "Fast Deal" was beaten at Market Rasen today by 32 length, price 100/1, managed 5th place with a £350 place money.

I would say this will be gratefully received to cover stable costs.

To say he is a " racehorse trainer" with his record since the start of the 2018 season being 83 runners with only one winner and that being in 2018
.
He's described by Aldi_01 as being one of the "irrelevant dinosaurs" very true words in both his questionable professions.

I heard a while back that he loaned the club £50k years ago and that's why he stayed on the board because if he left, he wasn't entitled to it back in a hurry due to the rules that the club changed having got burned by Ramsden I think it was.

Looks like that got paid when 1878 rolled in as the Directors loans were £1,550,000 in 2020, nil in 2021 with £1,500,000 being owed to Fenty.

Either way, I don't actually know what he did or brought to the table.

A ‘yes’ for Fenty…nothing more…

I worked with someone who had a horse with him.

It ran once only, in a 3 mile race, and was pulled up after a mile. Kind of sums up his impact at GTFC.

You’re thinking of the Chapman that actually did something…

19 years as a director of the club; something many of us would love to do and all he gets is 2 short sentences announcing his departure. Almost 24 hours later, nobody has actually offered any input as to what he offered. Sums up why we've been so poor for so long to be honest.

I think you'll find he was anything but a yes man.
