I've been one of the biggest critics of the sh!tshow that we've become. But that's a serious statement both in terms of the carol backing her man and her putting her money where her mouth is on relegation. Welcome Darren, I hope that decision to give you a 5 1/2 year deal proves wise. Wiser that the last 5 year deal we gave a manager. As always though, Flitcroft very much out.

Comparing Kennedy too Clarke is like comparing a race horse to a Shetland. One had various success stories and promotions on his CV when he came to us, the other has been a failure everywhere he's been. I do think he will be our new manager as he has both of the key ingredients required, that being he'll be cheap and not having a lot of sway to override our Director of Failure

The way he talks, I think ojo would make a great manager one day. Seems to really have a good grasp of the game and isn't one for clichés, tells it how it is.

Cheap option taken again. Only at vale can you have rock bottom expectations and still be disappointed.

Sorry guys I've been away for a few days and can't be arsed reading through everything. Can someone tell me, is there any concrete evidence that going to be Kennedy or is everyone just putting two and two together with him being at the stadium and the odds moving?

"C) Build a recruitment department and create a player trading model where we bring players in and sell them on for profit later." Very telling that his key objective is to buy players to flog, rather than produce on the pitch. Guess we're seeing that now.

That phrase "we'll learn from these mistakes" will go down as the motto of the league one Carol era. We were supposed to learn from last season, we've got worse. We were supposed to learn from last January, this one was worse.

All well and good, but he's produced a squad of players that are on a death spiral to the bottom of the league. If she's happy with that then fair enough, we're stuck with him and his nonsense either way.

Will Ryder says at least three times in his interview "when we go back to the academy" Even he's not daft enough to take this shower on.

Anyone who thinks we've got a chance of bringing in Moore or anyone who's recently left a championship job is a crackpot. We might, MIGHT, be able to convince Ainsworth if he's got a sentimental side. Outside of that it will be someone like Kennedy who's got no chance of getting a normal L1 job.

My two pence: There's only going to be a very select type of manager who fancies this job right now. We've got one of the lowest budgets in the league, one of the worst squads, almost in the relegation zone with no window left too change it around. Thinking realistically, our only options are either: 1) someone in non league or abroad who's thinks we are a step up regardless of whether we get relegated. 2) someone who hasn't had a job for absolutely ages and is desperate to get back in. Any ideas that we are going to get Darren Moore or any other ex championship manager is frankly pie in the sky.

So your saying you think we announced signing him, then purposefully didn't get all the documents together so he wouldn't sign? Highly doubtful. More likely the recruitment wizards stuffing up again.

Another farce to add to the list. The American lad who's deal fell through hads shed some light on why. Great advert for all these scandi/aussie strikers our Director of Failure is trying to entice over

A crumbling squad, a crumbling stadium, a crumbling fan base. So disillusioned this morning.

I'm giving them till midday today. I'm sure as long as your paperwork was filed by 11 last night the ratification can follow. I'm hoping in the face of overwhelming evidence that Flitcroft has done his job and got us someone and it's just held up at the FA.

Nobody had that on there transfer deadline bingo card

I like that signing. Wanted him when he left Southend. Welcome Kasper. 3 more at least needed

Well I can't see much in the way of injury in his history. Last on loan at bottom of the Belgium league side KV Kortrijk. I'm sure we were after him previously, I vaguely remember his name being mentioned in prior years.

The Flitcroft circus keeps rolling. Who's next up, any injury history accepted!

Didn't someone post on here that they had spoken to him and he said we never got in contact with him and he's definitely going to st Johnstone?

He spends 90% of his time on this forum name calling and berating.

Well ladies and gents welcome to the traditional Dave Flitcroft transfer deadline day panic! In prior year's this has given us such success stories as Liam McCarron, Ryan Loft, Dennis Politic (2nd time) and Matty Taylor all under the guise of "squeezing the most value out of the market". In positive news, all rumours of money troubles at vale should now be quashed as they are clearly still paying LancyTony to post his nonsense and abuse on here.

Kyle Hudlin signs for Burton. So that's one less donkey on the market for us to get tempted by.

No I was being serious, I always thought that once it was back in socket it's was a bit of ice and some Co codemol and your away. Every days a school day, thanks Trumpington

Flickers must have it maybe drop him an email.
