    Sorry to be pedantic Badboy, and it maybe just me but I really hate it when fans of other clubs refer to Manchester United as "United". I find this lauded familiarity quite nauseating. We never seem to see them being referred to as just Manchester as we do Bristol or Sheffield. Minor issue I know but whenever I meet  a fellow football fan and they say they support "United", I often reply with "Ah, shame Rotherham are struggling this year" 

    Is it just me?

    Annoys me as well Doc.  When they play  Newcastle they get referred to as "United" yet Newcastle were United in 1892 while Manchester Reds were still Newton Heath!

    Couldn’t see it on their forum when I looked - just a suggestion that Uche was the fall back if they didn’t get Ladapo.

    Barrow have better players than us.

    Barrow have a better manager than us.

    11 on 11 tomorrow, Barrow would beat us.

    We should be in for the likes of Cole Stockton.

    Our “philosophy” is well and good and will probably make money. 
    The academy products. Sold. And others will go. Money.

    Crosby. His style of play. Never ever ever will change. Tweeked but will always stay a constant. Like it or lump it.

    Flitcroft. Earns money for Carol? He stays.

    All I needed in my life today to know where the club is going is that Alfie Devine interview.

    Its football manipulation.

    Every question is thought out.

    Every question will have been fed to Alfie.

    Every question is now out there in social media to say to the suits at clubs higher than us that we are a good club.

    You may as well have held Alfie down and said say what we want you to say.

    I absolutely loved Alfie being here but if that’s the way football is going then it’s not for me.

    Its so robotic it’s untrue.

    I ask the older generation in here…. Is football fun anymore? Is there real passion? I don’t see it. I honestly don’t see it. All I see is a business. I see Port Vale Football Club as a business. A business where Carol Shanahan wants to make money. Nothing wrong with that. But she doesn’t care. She doesn’t. She cares about money. And she, like any other football club owner will put on a front saying that they care, virtue signaling her silly little scarf, when in reality they don’t! They care about making money. 
     

    And don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have her in charge of the club than Smurthwaite, as one wants to make money whereas the other just wanted to steal money but wouldn’t it be lovely to take the politics out of everything.

    I don’t want my club to be “robotic”. That’s what we are and that’s what fans can’t see. A robotic club making money for the owners. I want my club to sign the best players and go and challenge up the leagues. 
    A lot of this season has been <ovf censored>. Let’s not dress that up. But on the field, when Stockport and Wrexham come up next season, maybe Notts County, that’s more clubs surpassing us on the pitch.

    Because when Carlisle, Fleetwood, Reading go down, that’s a lot harder to get points off than the latter mentioned.
     

    The virtue signaling in this club might be ok for a long term plan but the hardcore supporter will just leave whilst the <ovf censored> on the pitch continues. Apart from cracks papered over this last month.

     January 18th. Still no striker. Lost our two best players which weren’t ours in the first place. It’s all a bit of a philosophical mess!

    I just don't bury my head in sand and pretend that everything is sure to work out. I call things how I see it, be it praise or criticism. While there's no disaster happening at the club, or even close, there's certainly a lot of things that need improving and questioning.

    A football club were things need improving?  Can't be many of those around.

    Between this month and the summer we need to get rid of -

    Jones

    Cass

    Lowe

    Conlon

    Loft

    Obviously the loanees will go back down the line. Other than Arblaster all have been poor to average, including Devine.

    How do you propose getting rid of Loft when he can’t play for another club this season??

    I know you win more games attacking the  opposition team rather than Bings philosophy of passing the ball back all the time  and getting nowhere but there you go you have your opinions and I have mine .

    Fantastic tactical knowledge there, mate.  Well done.

    Genuine question , mellor , so your happy with a manager who has no clue how to manage a football team is that correct?

    I wouldn’t be if we had one but we haven’t. And I’m pretty sure you haven’t got any idea how to manage a professional football team - unless you’re Pep Guardiola using a pseudonym?
