    Rudge was great but even he went on a run of 18 games without a win?However,he made up for that by signing some great players such as Osher Williams,Alan Webb,Andy Jones,Mark Grew,Ray Walker,Bob Hazell,Darren Beckford,Simon Mills,Darren Hughes,Gary Ford,Dean Glover,John Jeffers,Neil Aspin,Nick Cross,Kevin Kent,Robin van der Laan,Martin Foyle,Keith Houchen, Peter Swan,Ian Taylor,Paul Musselwhite,Steve Guppy,Tony Naylor,Jon McCarthy,Lee Mills,Ian Bogie,Gareth Ainsworth,Peter Beadle,Michael Walsh and Marcus Bent.Sorry if I've missed anybody.
    Recruitment is critical and sadly we have gone downbank?

    Peter Beadle was no replacement for Mills.

    Marcus Bent couldn’t hit Smurthwaites arse with a taxi when he played for us. 

  2. Is Carol sticking  up for Valdemort because the Starfish was at the initial interview with him and it was his big idea (like the poisonous Hollandes pies)Unknown to Carol Starfish has joined the Death Eaters and is whispering in Carols ear that she must bow down to the Dark Lord. 

    Where’s Harry Potter when you need him ?

    This makes more sense than reality which is <ovf censored> unexplainable 

  3. I have just read Tony’s post about the meeting and that he apologised for what was in the statement.

    I’ve represented my Union in National Negotiations from pay to shift patterns and the reaction to the statement reminds me of the ones put out at work. We regularly fell out with our CEO who called us a bunch of Fuckers from time to time. The statements obvs didn’t reflect that and were quite bland. Then we had then to put up with the moans of our members 

    This reminds me of that. 

    I have utmost respect for the people who went in. You can’t scream and shout and get your own way like certain people on SM and P&G think. It’s a very difficult job. So regardless of how the team plays until the rest of the season FWIW they have my thanks.

    Last note. What Tony said about slagging people off also importantly applies to the PLAYERS . They aren’t going to play their best if NobbY Nobrains  is screaming that insert name here is useless and a <ovf censored>.

  4. Flitcroft did not back Crosby in either of the last two windows. 
    it’s all gone to rat <ovf censored> because of that. 
    I know Ojo should be more professional but the senior players are also probably feeling that they’ve been shafted after falling fo DFs spiel. Being played out of position because <ovf censored> didn’t think to sign players for the job. It’s like signing plumbers and telling them they’re sparkies

    I hate the way we pick on players at this club. Can't imagine it's unique to our club but I just don't agree with singling people out. I didn't watch the game today but sounded like most of them were <ovf censored> and most of them have been <ovf censored> all season. 

    I was having a look at Gordon Lees wiki page. Everyone seems to forget how he got Vale promoted and would have got them to the playoffs in Div 3 (Div1) if there was such a thing. Crowds of 2400 or so and he was moaning about the boo boys. In those days mainly from Moan St paddock. Somethings never change

    on Loft I think they should pay his contract. He has played for DF before and Bury played 2 up top. He was not the striker it wasn’t his job.So the pickle he finds himself in is not of his own making.
    on a wider note stop slagging off players it doesn’t do any good at all. .

  6. Carol dropped a massive clod with her letter. She’s now placed herself in a no win situation. She can’t sack DF now without looking daft .

    What she needed was some sage advice from say Colin Garlick. Who’d have probably told her to release a vote of confidence statement if she was going to back DF. 

    But sacking Garlick  was as daft as her letter. 

    The new CEO is just a glorified Facilities Manager and strikes me as a yes man.

    I always liked the idea of a DOF seemed to work at Stoke. However we would have far better if we kept Darrel Clarke than him.

    Issue is also a very typical Vale issue of needing investment. It is Carols club I get that. However she always stated that they were just custodians in her own words.

    It worked at Stoke when Rudge was doing it. They are in exactly the same situation as us now apart from they’ve wasted millions.

  8. On who’s to blame. 
    Root cause is V2001 and Fat Boy Norm. 
    If they had maintained the ground properly the current incumbents wouldn’t have had to spend so much money. 
    Swapping the Bycars has cost £50k at least in lost revenue 

    Employing someone as a DOF without an open competition was a mistake.

    Not signing forwards was plain stupidity 

    Everything else is conjecture

    It was a huge raffle that raised £15k, not £27k and it was indeed spent on Darren Beckford. 

    If I recall there was about 2300 of us every week. You could get from the Huntsman to inside the Bycars within 5 minutes. Didn’t the club match the funds raised?

    Lots of interesting posters that have disappeared.

    Geosname seems to have gone in the last 12 months.

    I wonder if some have morphed into other Usernames

    Robbie Earls Perm went mad and got banned.

    Geosname might be singing like a virgin in a Thai jail

    It’s actually true. He did put in over £200m. In fact he put so much money in, they were done for financial fair play rules previously! 

    The stadium is worth 27.5m and the training facilities £50m. Hes had offers to buy but is just messing about. Hes sacked most of the club staff and selling players  behind the managers back. Hes a multi billionaire so dont feel sorry for him. He wants the land for investment purposes

    Deeney will find it easy to complete his 4 game touchline ban now. If he came to Vale he'd certainly bring some fighting spirit on and off the pitch.

    Thats why he was sacked …. For slagging the players off in public. Not sure he could get his head in our dressing room as he’s an overinflated opinion of himself
