Has anyone ever stopped to ask themselves the following questions.

1. Have any of you been looking at the three consortium in blind hope? Just because you want John Fenty out at all costs.

2. Do any of you have any real substantiated knowledge about the financial clout behind each of the three? Are they all really knights on shining horses?

3. Prior to this GTFC consortium project, were any or all of the three involved in any other business activity together, with a track record of working together?

4. When it has come to signing on the dotted line, has one of them lost their bottle in parting with their cash? Maybe that person didn’t have the cash and was living in cloud cuckoo land, a tyre kicker, of the Michael Knighton kind.

Before anyone starts crucifying John Fenty once again, remember this. He agreed his price and agreed to sell. The consortium agreed to this too. Now is the acid test I spoke about when all of this started. We now get to see if the three man consortium are what you hope they are. Are they Grimsby Town fans that are prepared to do what John Fenty has done for this club AS A VERY MINIMUM

Interesting times and fingers crossed for a favourable outcome

Yes indeed. Agreed

We now get to see if these guys are for real and are what our club wants and needs.

I certainly wouldn’t bother crucifying Fenty anytime this weekend for fear that the cúnt would reappear sometime on Monday.

I may be wrong but was Clive Nates at Sincil Bank every second weekend before he took over at Lincoln, did he work with all of their current board previously?

Much of what you’ve posted above is completely irrelevant.

I’m not talking about whether the three are working well with Flem and Wraithy etc.

I’m alluding to what history the three have of working with each other? These guys are, or were about to get into bed with each other financially. The main driver for that was Tom Schutes, the very man behind all things regeneration

Firstly it's Tom Shutes. No C in his surname.

Secondly, he might have been the most prominent person when the takeover story first broke in August 2019 but I have never seen anything to make me think he was the "main driver". I was lead to believe he was the one tasked with negotiating with Fenty.

If that is true it seems strange that the one from the consortium who has dealt with Fenty most is flat out refusing to have him remain at the club. Almost like Shutes thinks that Fenty is a (insert your own expletive here).

Thank you

I’ve remained pragmatic about the consortium takeover all along. When we all started discussing this months ago, I was asking some well thought out questions that needed considering. Devils advocate so to speak. Many of which I’ve seen before in practice, dealing with acquisitions and mergers in business law.

Let’s hope everything works out as everyone would hope hey.

At this moment in time I would take my chances on the bastárd love child of Owen Oyston and Michael Knighton over the current regime.

Just wondering why having money makes you a knight in shining armour when the current ownership have put intercourse all in for the last few years? A knight in shining armour would be someone who could competently run the club using the budget brought in by fans and sponsorship.

Any truth in the rumour around that Shutes is no longer in the Junta, sorry, consortium and a Mr P still has 20% of the club!

I too have heard that all is not as it should be with the takeover. Whispers of deadlines missed, etc etc.

Nothing official of course.

1. Yes
      If we don't get the three Amigos then any would do because if Fenty and his bottom wipers stay we won't have a club in 2 years time.

2. The FA do and that's what counts.

3. Does anyone give a intercourse? NO

4. Who knows?

As for what your mate has done for the club.
I will give you the dictionary definition of what he's done for OUR club

Failure
Lack of success "a policy that is doomed to failure"

As stated this club is dead if he stays
He's been a flipping disaster for OUR club.

As to have the area lickers.



In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

And for me that's why this FN is no fan of GTFC.  I dont care if he says he gets ST, so what, the only thing you are contributing as a fan is incitement.
