What about all those players stacking shelves at mad Harry’s part time?
Do we actually know if the situation was really Mad Harry telling his staff to get a part time job so they signed for Town?

At least one Town player has an online business that we know of, so he has additional income anyway.
Is selling shi'ite on eBay classed as a p/t job?

Quoted from 139914
Do you guys actually believe that Fenty is going to do anything other than run the run down club further down just so it can get its money back? While it’s got anything to do with the club there will be no ambition, just you mugs directly repaying him for years of utter incompetence.
For gods sake wake up and finally smell the coffee, don’t go, don’t buy a shirt and force him to either invest without caveat or take the club into administration where it’ll hopefully get what it deserves, 1p in the pound.
I utterly despise what it has done to the club, it isn’t a fan, it’s only interested in self promotion and completely blind to the damage it’s done.
As for the trust, what undertakings did you get that it would invest before handing over the shares? Let me take a guess, zilch!, You’re part of the problem, it’ites to a man (or woman). Paying for a powerless seat on a board dictated by it, naive in the extreme. Providing free labour in the bars so it gets its money back quicker. Change your name to the it trust because you certainly aren’t looking after the interests of GTFC or the fans.
But, there won’t be any pressure or mass protests, you’re all blind with bullsh*t.
In fairness to the Trust, they put the issue to their membership regards the shares. Rightly or wrongly, the membership voted to give the shares to Fenty. If I was Mike Parker I would have been absolutely spitting feathers. Fenty used bully boy tactics there and if I recall rightly dangled the threat of selling Liam Hearn if he didn't get the shares given to him. That sums up the mentality of the guy who holds the cards. Couldn't stomach the thought of someone having enough power to be of influence so he threw his toys out. Unfortunately that episode, in my eyes anyway, removed any sense of credibility the Trust had as a voice. I think they do fantastic work and it's so easy to forget that the Trust Board are volunteers. They give up their time for the love of the club. But as a voice of opposition, I don't think they've got one really. Which is a shame because there was such potential there. Unless the Trust absolutely cut their ties with Fenty and this board, they'll never be seen as credible in the eyes of the fan base. Not for this purpose anyway. If fans are to rally behind a cause to remove Fenty and/or impact upon the level of power he wields, it has to come under another guise. Of course, there's then the risk of splitting and diluting the supporters. Which I believe is what is happening at Bury.

I think the handing over of the shares was wrong, but it was done democratically, so fair enough. I do wonder though, if it were to happen now, would the outcome be different? A lot has happened since then, not much of it very positive.

When Fenty threatened to sell our prolific striker Liam Hearn, he showed that when push comes to shove, retaining his power and powerbase at the Club was more important than the Club itself.
I doubt that he actually would have sold Hearn. He just used the threat as a bullying tactic and calculated that he would get his own way.

My understanding was he was really drunk off.
