John Coleman versus Flitcroft would be interesting. He woud be too shi*-scared to appoint him.
Carol likes John I think Alan? The wheels have well and truly come off at Port Vale this time. Wouldn't surprise me if Carol is looking for out. Either way there is no way on earth that DF survives what has been basically a waste of time and money in regards to the playing side of the business. I smelt a rat a long time ago but it was not 'fashionable' to go against the 'spin' of the new-age process and DF.

Hopefully she will stay committed but her first priority is to find additional external investment for the club and to spend it on the playing squad - but absolutely not under Flitcroft's watch.
Absolutely bang on. Get the fraud gone. Carol has not alienated the fan base but many are sceptical and close to 'turning'. The honeymoon period ended last season, this is just a continuation of the second part of last season - only worse. The team is as bad as I've seen since the Dean Glover/ Michael Brown days. I'm shocked at how we have been dismantled, seems like a form of asset-stripping a-la Smurthwaite but under the guise of the 'Joker' Flitcroft. Sad state of affairs and Carol really does need listen to us this time or she and Kevin will be shipping more debt and misery.

I can understand that
Kennedy is a failure as a manager
If he gets appointed the
Proverbial will surely hit the fan
Need get Flitcroft the fraud out
We need to make sure Kennedy is nowhere near the place and Flitcroft is gone.

Could he do any worse .
I'd honestly take Duffy with Tom as assistant as interim.

I can't believe we are putting someone else in the firing line tonight. Ryder's youth team have just lost the last five games in a row, so he should feel right at home tonight.
There is only one person who should be in the dugout and that is Failcroft. He got us in this mess and should be the one to try to get us out of it.
Before people come out and say he is the DOF and should leave the managing of the team to someone else. remember that his first conversation with Carol was about the manager's job but talked her into giving him a much bigger role after blinding her with his bullcrap.
Wake up Carol and do not get taken in by more of his rubbish. The best thing he has done is bringing Clarke in. You have a legacy with Vale fans at the moment, please don't lose it.
"All aboard the good ship Port Vale whilst we enter choppy waters yet again" Hope we don't get battered tonight. There will be loads of people running to find a toilet (portaloo), either that or chasing DF and/ or officials! Madness....Hope the scanners work on the way in!

Or 3) A mate or former player of Flitcroft! Wouldn’t surprise me to see Adam Murray given the job
Wasn't Murray the 'brains' behind the promotion side?

Think this news probably solidifies the rumours about the young lad from Barnsley. Has played for the Polish national team at youth levels. On paper seems a sensible signing with Williams going back. You could tell from ACs interview at the weekend Rhys was absolutely nowhere near it. Does raise the question why he signed in the first place & definitely makes us look a bit desperate.
It's going to have to be a busy afternoon/evening at the Vale. What a huge week this is for the club & our future direction. Signings needed & points required, urgently.
Does the Loan deadline stay open past today. Can't honestly say I'm filled with confidence. Better hope James Wilson stays fit.

Heres my prediction we will bring nobody else in. We will lose to fleetwood and wilson will go off after 5 mins with a injury keeping him out for the remainder of the season🤣
You can just see it - 0-1. Massive games ahead. Look out for a few 'loans' today.

Typical Vale luck yesterday with Uche getting injured .
One minute it looks like he’s moving on for a fee which would have probably enabled us a chance to bring in a forward or two but now we don’t even have him available and he’ll be gone for nothing in the summer !
These are the unexpected issues which must be a nightmare when trying to manoeuvre things in a transfer window, not as simple as some of our experts on here seem to think 🤔UTV
The only thing I would add, with the recruitment resource and alleged 'savvy' we have in place - Why have x4 transfer windows passed (well nearly) and we have failed to address what was and is a fundamental issue with strikers?

Hopefully one of these Scandinavian targets is on his way .
Maybe an Australian prospect is on the plane as we speak!
All said, yesterday was very poor. Lack of cohesion at the back. Chislett apart, no midfield presence and Uche marshalled well by the big Pompey lads. Pompey were leaving a foot in then falling over like pathetic prima-donna's. Ref was utter garbage but if it were not for Ripley we would have been at least 2-0 down at half time.
Went to the forum Thursday, if I'm honest, I'm not sure what to think, however, based on yesterdays showing, we are bang in trouble. Quality signings needed but won't happen imo.

Wonder if we will be looking at the lad from Newcastle Crewe had on loan, he is a midfielder isn't he? Recalled yesterday and had rave reviews.
We must have players lined up. What was the Crewe lads name?

There's things that are far more important than Science if you want a winning football team.
Team work, spirit, guts, resilience, motivation, confidence, ambition, etc...
Players like Porter and Aspin would play through the pain barrier. Micky Cummings would have his shoulder popped back in and carry on playing...
Absolutely Steve. We seem to forget that most of these guys are full-time professionals and aged between 18-35. Too much information can be as bad as ignorance. "Nicey-nicey" cautious as we go gets you knocked out of cup matches at 2-0 and will get you relegated. The human race hasn't changed much in the last 10-20 years, bull**** excuses and theries have. Not against science but surely the data is purely that - DATA. My science is numbers and I can predict that there will likely be a drop of 30-40% in Vale fans attending in the coming weeks/ months. It's OK because the lads aren't "red-lining" though.

Considering all the injuries we seem to keep getting still some may ask if it’s actually working following the sports science
Not heard them blaming the pitch - yet?

To me Port Vale are summed up perfectly by looking at the anolgy of the barriers 'snaking' towards the till inside the club shop. It appears that 'the plan', science and <ovf censored> have replaced good old common sense on and off the pitch. We are allowing headless chickens/ fantasists to dictate the way forward. This will be at the expense of League One status and the loss of droves of fans. Port Vale have gone mad imo. "Championship Ready" get a grip. Gutted by the unprofessional capitulation last night. Goodbye to £70K.

Because it's a quarter final of a major competition. No brainer. Really shocked by how poor our support is.
I would have thought that any Vale fan with any history tied to the club would attend this game. The first quarter final of the league cup in our history. It's a big thing, even if the prize money is poor in relation. I'll be there.

I don't understand why Arblaster and Devine were signed one or the other for me, the recruitment team need to answer a few questions, I thought the lesson had been learned last season Re. the Keepers (Two average ones or one good one) same mistake with the strikers this time round except we never got round to signing anyone and now looking back they all seem to be panic buys and I guess none of them have come cheap.
Pretty much bang on the money this.

The striker debacle is unbelievable. How do other clubs do it? Why is it always Vale who struggle to lock down a decent striker.
Crewe took a punt on Baker-Richardson from Newport, he's flying. Wimbledon signed Al-Hamadi from Wycombe reserves, they've now got a player on their hands being talked about at Championship level. Accrington seem to unearth a prolific striker every other season, Colby Bishop the latest off the conveyor belt.
My point being, non of these players would've cost the Earth when they were first signed. They would've all been well within our budget & our reach. Where are we scouting? Which leagues are we looking at? Are we scouting reserve games etc? The 2 x latest signings up top stink of desperation. A striker to add numbers in Ryan Loft because we lost Ellis, & then Uche who was lying on a beach somwhere. I mean come on. Taking the piss.
Thank you mate, I was beginning to think it was me. It is staggeringly embarrassing to have a DOF and allow this situation to stagnate for so long, whatever the reasons. How many times have we watched 'lesser' budget teams at Vale Park or anywhere for that matter who appear to have forwards with more threat than ours?

Nothing feels rosy when a team is losing games...but not creating chances at all would be worse. Instead of carrying out some kind of ludicrous vendetta against DF, accept that players he and recruitment team have brought in were upgrades on what we already had?
No vendetta here and yes I do appreciate the quality of players we have and the way we play. But come on, nearly 2 seasons knowing we have strikers not fit, not likely to play half a season and from January via a panic last minute signing of an unfit striker through to the Wilson debacle (who I incidentally like) and on to Lowe and now Uche - not good enough. Prices are extortionate (allegedly), no cash available (allegedly) and strikers at a premium but come on the DOF and crew should have done better in that department. Not rocket science.

Which then makes Exeter huge.
After that we're not getting many points until the New Year.
Change has to be made promptly.
Shrewsbury was huge and I'm still angry/ gutted. Couldn't go but called in the shop and heard commentary briefly. I commented: "Let me guess, loads of possession, nice on the eye but losing" - I wasn't wrong. If I know then every team we play knows. We need change but that involves left sided players and forwards. If anything the DOF and the committee need to be looked at. Not convinced all is rosy in the Port Vale garden.

Yep when they announced 14,000 everyone around me burst out in fits of laughter.
I took my then 13yr old daughter and we had tickets in the Bycars (We went to Highbury also). The queues were mega and they moved the juvenile turnstile to the bottom of the Bycars. No way was I leaving her alone. I kicked off, went into a turnstile with her and said we were going nowhere until they let her in. IT went off with the stewards and eventually they opened the gates and let everyone in through there!! Once in you could see droves of fans being moved into the railway stand after kick-off. The ground was full, believe me!!!!

We may need to take action as supporters again with DF. Can't see where the next point is coming from. We will get battered by Stevenage and Peterboro and lose to Cheltenham. I'm hoping someone says something or something happens before the weekend, ideally DF gone.
