WV

It’s a different budget.

It’s always happened. I remember Adam Yates getting abused as he warmed up away at Bristol rovers one Tuesday night back in the day. A right amoeba 🦠 the fan was as well. Proper crack head material. Some things never change. The fan had probably had too much stella and Chang. Should be ashamed of himself.

Griff own goal that bounced over Chris Martin ?

4th in the form table over the last 6 games having played Peterborough and derby in that time.

Moore is getting it after less than 2.5 games in charge. This place is full of mentally unstable loons.

Don't worry, Melbourne valiant is from one of the most racist, least inclusive countries on the planet and he is just trying to fit in.

Smith is <ovf censored>. Why are we asking him to pass the ball, the lad would struggle to pass wind.

Captain material....

This is the crux of it but Vale fans don't need facts to choose their annual scapegoat. 3 ex players I speak to from different generations (60s, 80s and 2010s) have all said that they never recieved abuse of their own fans anywhere else but the Vale. One player who used to play for Stoke said he got booed when he scored! We are a different breed.

But you do cut the head off the snake.

Fans still slated him on here. Hadn't he scored 20 before Christmas? And that still wasn't enough. Mind you, Myrie-Williams was slated on here promotion season despite making the league 2 team of the year. Moral of the story is is that Vale fans on OVF need someone to slate every year and this year it's DF's turn.

Who knows how accurate this list is from last season but it's telling that most of the clubs people are saying we should be competing with have players on here and we don't (apart from two loan players who were useless) Who is the highest paid footballer in the Sky Bet League One? | Salary Sport SALARYSPORT.COM

Oxford have wingers on £8k a week and one player off with depression on £10k a week. What did we used to pay Tom Pope in his wonder season? £6k?

Robbie for president clearly. What did I make up?

Fair point BJ

If you’re going to say I was told Robbie was buying it show me the quote. I said that was my guess. Keep it factual PV and it’s not personal

Sorry edited it. Loft is looking like a waste true. Wilson no idea what he’s on. Uche was coming good. If we had been able to pay 6k on a decent striker and had 3 loans there would still be uproar. Carol just needs to not be quite so self sufficient if we are to progress as a team. I’m not saying she should go just that DF needs the tools to build the right team.

Not true if only allowed 3k max wage

No he didn’t he told me there would be a big announcement in jan. I guessed it might be Robbie. Big difference. Either way it was front page of the sun so maybe there was something in it or not but I clearly didn’t make it up…

Well that’s that sorted. Who’s your source? I’m pretty confident the person who told me knows what he is on about.

It really was. We might pay a transfer fee but we will not pay the required wage for a striker in league one.

Carol's purse

If we go down there is no way Garrity, Chislett or Ripley will be staying. i would get rid of whoever is telling Carol we can get a quality striker for £3k a week in league 1. We are one of the worst payers in the league, and consequently one of the worst teams.

I can't wait for the next DoF to come in and be told to find a league one striker that that scores goals for less than £3k a week. Flitcroft has had his hands tied by Carol. The buck stops at her. It is no surprise that she has come out and defended him because she knows that if he was to go then she is the next target. For as long as I have supported Vale a certain section of the fan base have to have a scapegoat or a target for vitriol (sometimes with good reason, others not (Constantine for one)). Nothing I post on here is going to stop the direction of this movement (for want of a better word) but if/when he goes I am not sure there would be another DoF in football that could find a good striker for what we are willing to spend. Carol needs to spend some money in the right place and we can't be competitive in the market with her budget. We have a bottom 4 budget (from someone close to the club accounting team) and guess where that puts you, DF or no DF.

Oops wrong video. The actual video is decent will edit
