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!

You’d need an extra changing room - it’s a lady lion.

Keep up Jean fans have said on their forum 🙂 but more importantly Osh has also stated this and that will do for me,me owd fruit
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.

It was widley reported; I also stated it (a few pages back - the guy that told me we were signing players earlier this week, and who is close to the club, WA me this morning to tell me.
Has that come from Charlton?

Where is the evidence that Uche failed the medical???

What do you think we are entitled to? League 2 football? Conference level stuff? Sod that. May as well have stuck with Smurfwaite.
I don’t know why so many people try to compare the sacrifice of the average fan with what Carol has put in. She chose to buy the club, so the least she can do is stick some money in.
It is more realistically to compare it to buying the Rover group. All the workers at longbridge cheered on John Towers for saving the company. Just one problem, they had no money. So they couldn’t develop any new models and the one they did, the Cityrover, was rubbish nobody wanted to buy. Nobody wanted them, sales dwindled and the company went bust.
Carol is John Towers, our squad is the City Rover and our fans are the customers who will leave in droves. The rest writes itself.
Monkey dust is a terrible thing.

If he does go today - to Wycombe - could he conceivably line up against us on Saturday?
Only if the signing is registered by 12 noon. Same applies to any signing we make.

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!
If you think the Shanahans are in it to make money you are absolutely deluded.
Why should we sign a striker like Cole Stockton who hasn’t scored a league goal this season?
And football is fun because I get to have a good laugh at the **** some folk post on here.
And that is opinion so feel free to argue

There's a lad that's been at Crewe, Joe White, who they seem to rave about. I think he's on loan and they've just brought in a similar type of player...
Sent from my SM-A137F using onevalefan mobile app
He's on loan from Newcastle and has just been recalled.

A guy rang P&G last night saying that a number of Vale fans are against Crosby simply because he's not Darrell Clarke. He's right. I could name a few who fall into that category.

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.

We give him to any takers in the summer. He's woeful. Even if we went down I would look to get rid.
He’s under contract.

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??

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?
