Andy Woodman is getting rave reviews at Bromley currently second in the national league behind runaway leaders chesterfield.
I get the impression he loves it down south though.

I mentioned him earlier. Left his job in December and has a track record of quick results.
If he has moved back I don't see why not
Please not Whitehead and Murray.
Ahhhh didn’t realise he had moved back.

Some out there suggestions… I’m not saying I like the ideas but I’m just trying to think of some names outside of those being touted.
Dean Whitehead… obvious link, currently assistant at Watford
Shaun Derry… average manager back in the day but has since gone to the Prem as development managers at Palace and now wolves and is apparently very highly thought of
Simon Grayson… another on the “thinking outside the names already mentioned” list
Currently in India.

We have a difficult task of needing someone who can dig in and keep us up as well as then kicking on next year.
Rowett would fit that bill, but we have more chance of platting snot than getting him.

There were rumours that Paul Cook was interested when we appointed Crosby.
Running away with the National league and May no longer be interested.

The risk you take leaving it to the last minutes of a window to business. Plenty of clubs have signed strikers well before the window closing
Totally agree… I think going o to that situation without a backup is unforgivable

Just to give an idea of the clubs who are looking at him basically it’s a non-starter.
Alan Nixon said this morning that Sheff Wed didn’t get a striker in, and now Romano saying they may go in for Gayle.
I wonder if that was the issue last night?
We may have had everything agreed with Michael Smith and then sat there waiting to see if Sheff Wed would let him go only to realise they missed out and therefore said no.

Confirmation that Michael Smith was at the club until past 11 last night.

Feels very much like we have missed out on someone at the last minute. The bloke on Facebook said he saw a very impressive championship striker shaking hands with the coaching team before going back in with his agent.
When people were asking who it was he would say ‘no’ to names like Gregory and Wyke… but wouldn’t say anything if people mentioned Michael Smith. Could it have been him?
So feels like either
1. we will get an announcement this morning and people will have to admit that’s a very good addition, or
2. We will find out that we missed out at the last minute and couldn’t get it across the line and that will have to be viewed as a massive failure especially with no back up option.

I think Shane Ballard is Alfie’s Dad, the lad that does the videos?

We normally tweet something along the lines of “that’s all folks” when our business is done… can we still hold out hope of someone’s paperwork being completed?

Not really. Footballers are entertainers. If a rock band or stand up comic is rubbish, they get heckled or booed. A footballer isn’t just doing a job, at our level they are professionals.
But the fans of comedians don’t have their weekends ruined if their favourite comedian has a bad set.
Point is that people can say what they want… but why would they want to make them perform worse?

Always has been and always will be like that whether its right or wrong you're in the public eye! I'd love someone to call me sh** every week if it meant I was on their money! That's the reality. At the end of the day we pay money to see this as its our form of entertainment within the community as lont as its not taken to an extreme I.e harassment or threats than an opinion will always be that.
I understand why people think they should be able to say what they want.
My point is why they would want to… In my simple brain, slagging a player off could lead to them losing confidence which means they won’t play as well.
And I can’t see why I would want a player of Port Vale to not play as well.
Just seems counter productive to me.
Each to their own though I guess.

Ricky Miller scored loads in the Conference. Wasn’t good enough for league two. Dior Angus, also good in the conference, awful in league 2.
A bloke who scores 12 in non league means nothing at league 1 level. To be fair, I think the club know that these days.
1 goal in 12 games
Not 12 goals

New Manager is ?
in Port Vale present

I’m hoping a key criteria being considered is that ability to switch tactics from “don’t get beat” this year to “more attacking” next year if we are still a league 1 club.
