Entire squad needs gutting. Need 6-7 late 20s/ewrly 30s lower league players with experience, fight and a bit about them. We are desperate for a captain amongst them. Also add in 4-5 early-mid 20s lads who have played reasonably regularly in League Two or even League One. Add in a couple of younger lads (maybe from non league) who are hungry to prove themselves.
<ovf censored> this loaning young players from Premier League sides off, at least for now. Pointless having a season long loan if it always comes with an option of “if they’re doing well they’re coming back”. Losing Arblaster and Devine has (arguably) relegated us as with those pair all season we’d probably have stayed up.

As much as I think he might do better with his own squad (because, let’s be honest this one is dire) I really don’t like how he refers to Vale in the third person constantly. It smacks of huge arrogance, almost as though we are beneath him and he doesn’t really want to be here.

You're boring, Phillip. Really boring.
Good luck with the small penis, you'll need it.
You sound like Ryan Burge.

Pretty sure it’s the same account that posted on here years ago and if I remember rightly it was proven to be him.

Quite poetic that we are (basically) doomed to relegation to League Two on the same evening Mansfield clinch promotion to League One.

I have been tempted on many occasions to comment on here but stopped you will all be please to learn Carol was seen at the awards evening on Sunday apparently looking gaunt and extremely emotional l suggest you read this post every time you want to plough into her she does not deserve any of the vile stuff being hurled at her
She also didn’t deserve to be ripped off by you. None of us did, actually.

Not sure we NEED a director of football but we do need a team of scouts headed by somebody to oversee it all and work with Moore in getting an entire new squad. Somebody the fans know and like would be ideal. Maybe Martin Foyle (who is apparently a scout for St Mirren) or somebody with an affiliation to the club would go a way to helping Carol repair things with the fans.

Didn’t particularly rate Clarke when he was our manager to be honest. He got us over the line (just) and there were some great performances under him but there were also some atrocious outings (Walsall and Salford at home the season we went up stick out)
I’d like to see Moore given a chance with his own squad. Hopefully he can use his contacts or we can get a decent scouting network set up ASAP and build for next season, whatever division we are in (though, I think that will be League Two).

The only Icelandic free agent striker I cas see is Vidar Örn Kjartansson who last played in the Bulgarian Premier league (scoring one goal which would suit us!)
Gylfi Sigurdsson is also a free agent but is obviously a midfielder. He hadn't played a league game for 2 years before this season, and then only played 4 times before January in Denmark.
Just had a quick glance at Sigurdsson’s wiki page and it seems he was never even charged with the offences he was accused of.

Can we have a striker now please, Carol?

Is that your only point?
Yeah, basically. The way I see you defend Carol/DF smacks of somebody close to either of them. It’s weird.

So who is going to look after the projects that when completed will make revenue to go into the budget. Also I'm pretty sure we would still have to pay his contract even when he is gone. Unless he get a new club.
If we are going to get him gone it is more sensible to do so in the summer or just before end of season.
Are you Patrick Shanahan?

Still awaiting the mythical “new manager bounce”

At present, no. But, she needs to admit that she was wrong and that she/her board/DF have made mistakes. That open letter was patronising to the very life blood of the club who more often than not come from generations of die hard Vale fans.
The current situation is embarrassing. We’ve turned into an absolute circus. We will not stay up and will lose money being relegated. We are also looking likely to miss out on a proper Potteries derby, something a lot of the younger generation of Vale fans have never seen.

Stoke are in the relegation zone. QPR winning
Rather they stayed up with us pretty much nailed on to go down. Can’t bear to see Crewe get a game against them and us not.

God this is dire. I feel sorry for Moore for the squad he’s inherited, I really do.
Would not be surprised if he steps down before the end of the season

Not really true is it? Got to maintain a relationship with the people he's interviewing, and he does ask those questions that people want asking, for instance when Crosby went through his period of not playing strikers he asked him. He asked him if he was under pressure in his job. Sorry, but I know Phil and he puts a lot of time and effort into striking a balance between asking questions and being fair. He can't just go in and ask "why is Ryan Loft <ovf censored>?" because he'll be told not to come back again.
If you think he's bad, listen to the bloke who covers Stoke or McGarry at Crewe who want to be their manager's best mate.
The fact that DF is ACTIVELY avoiding doing an interview with Radio Stoke says a lot. He’s avoiding because he knows they will ask awkward questions that he won’t have rehearsed podcast answers to.

You cannot lose 30 out of last 53 games and believe in these players .
When everyone was getting excited about them.signing new deals I wasn't getting excited by the news because I remembered all the terrible self inflicted defeats done to rid the club of DC (he's just won 3 in a row with no players of what I'd call high quality at Cheltenham).
Then they announce the captain .
Could there be a worser captain in Vales recent history I think not .
It's all over and fans have had enough .
DM is like AC and DC just another person mugged off by these seasoned pros who have underwhelmed our supporters totally now .
In fact I'd day they have killed the club.
Congratulations on your ineptitude
You are correct about Smith not being a captain. Should be Ripley or Garrity for me.

Vale Park is such a major issue for Port Vale. Should have moved to a smaller stadium many years ago.
But then how could we get Championship ready?!?!?!

I wonder if he has some sort of clause in his contract allowing him to leave?
Maybe if we are relegated he leaves. Can’t see him fancying a go at League Two.

Dont know what your on about. Appointing a manager as DOF and her son as CEO in place of a well respected and very good man were strokes of complete genius.
This is honestly the one/two things that really irritate me. No way should DF be the DOF (he isn’t experienced enough and Carol literally said that DF wasn’t sure he wanted to get back into football, ffs!). Colin Garlick should never have been sacked and replaced with a lad in his 20s.

Darren Moore
in Port Vale present

Said when Crosby went we should have approached Evans. Exactly the sort of manager we actually need and the last of a dying breed, despite the fact that he’s a bit of a <ovf censored>, he shows more than an ounce of passion and fight. Doubt he would have come at the time, though, as Stevenage were doing well.
