    So:

    Crosby out - Achieved
    Flitcroft out
    Carol out
    Darren Moore out
    All the players out bar Garrity and Ripley
    Patrick out?
    Hancock out?

    I said when Carol took over that the vicious cycle would repeat itself in a few years, as it's always the fkin same with you lot. And so it has. Some of you really do have very very short memories and demand the earth for the £300 you pay every 12 months.

    As for the comment that this team is the worst in 40 years. It's not the worst in 4 years, let alone 40 for Christ's sake.

    But budgets can be redirected surely? Whichever way you look at it it's a terrible case of getting priorities wrong (or at least the priorities of the average fan). 

    I think the player budget is set based solely on revenue ? Carol could inject unlimited funds into the playing budget as long as they aren’t in the form of loans. That as we know isn’t happening. I know DF is the fall guy which is why Carol defends him because she knows she didn’t give him the tools to do the job. She is where the buck stops but everyone has a hard on over getting DF out. When or if he goes things will get worse mark my words.

    Agreed - The number one priority should have been investing in.the playing squad

    Instead money has been wasted on  training pitches ,parts of the stadium and a hospitality suite , Carol if your not going to Bin off Fraudcroft , please  do the right thing and  please  sell up , asap ,Thanks UTV

    It’s a different budget.

    Is this confirmed? 
    If true then it’s ludicrous, I just don’t get why you would boo any player before they’ve even stepped onto the pitch. I don’t rate Loft at all, he can can ASAP for me, but I’d never shout abuse or boo before the blokes entered the pitch, not exactly going to help him or the team. 

    The easiest way for him to turn this around is to turn up on the pitch and put some effort in, not get caught offside multiple times in the first few minutes. If loft scored / chased every ball down today he wouldn’t be booed. 

    He should be getting abused / booed warming up, obviously. But he should be putting effort in on the pitch to turn it around. Make the clowns stop shouting at you

    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.

    This game has worried me more than any other.

    Lincoln are in a cluster of teams that I hoped we might be able to sneak a win against.

    But they look absolute levels above us.

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

    Ryan Atkin, England’s first openly gay professional official, added: “The Rainbow Ball is a powerful emblem of diversity, pride, hope and activism. It demonstrates that football recognises its status and impact on society and that it acts on all forms of discrimination, ensuring everyone can be part of the beautiful game.

    “I feel very proud that my colleagues and I will be the first people to handle the ball, as we bring it across the white line ready for kick off.”

    Think you may be a little bemused over this being patronising, Darren? Maybe, if you don't belong to a particular community you ought to get their thoughts first?

    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.

    This is not a criticism of Auntie Carol in the slightest, however, when we are throwing mud at David Flitcroft and his lack of signings, when all said and done, we dont actually know what, if any budget he had available.

    There is the scenario in an alternate universe where that DF is actually the non-fall guy for Carol, taking the majority of the flak when equally he has his own hands tied with a lack of funds.

    Who knows, but out of all the scenarios put out there, I dont think this is that far fetched.

    All I know is that if words were to come out of the club saying that we are skint, fans would be far more forgiving and a lot of those now not attending would probs come back into the fold

    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.

    What I would give right now for a 20 + goal a season "Lazy" Leon Constantine 

    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.

    An Open Letter from Carol

    There are barely any strikers in the Championship on even 6-8k . The average wage across all positions is £7,000 a week. I would think £3k per would barely buy you a league 2 striker these days. Lee Hughes, in the Smurf era was getting £6k per week off us in league 2, 10 years or so ago! 
     

    Portsmouth or Derby have players on approaching £10k a week in some cases. Trouble is, it appears we are barely competing with Cheltenham. 
     

    Garrity is easily worth over £3k per week and Uche must have been on at least that. Certainly Wilson must be. The biggest drain is likely to be Loft. Would easily be on £3k and possibly in excess of that. 

    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?

    Whats not true?

    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.
