  1. How sure are we on this? I seem to remember the last default the EFL didn't deduct any points, said it would be unfair??, and fined the owner - who no doubt didn't pay
  2. And making the same mistakes in January 2024 has totally killed us
  3. Good points, but I think the " restructuring " of the budget In January 2023, ie deciding not spend/improve and wait for the summer had more affect. Coupled with the unfortunate events around DC. God how we have missed him!!
  4. Surely even nice port vale couldn't have lost money on the robbie gig could they? Any other club would have made a small fortune
  5. Holt at Accy reckoned a million. My guess, 3 quarters, including away support. Depends how we do in L2 of course
  6. Minimum of 2 goals conceded in every game, and against mostly poor opponents
  7. I don't think it has been. A poster said vale fans have low expectations and Carol is being saved by meeting them. I took that to mean meeting the low expectations, not meeting some fans?
  8. As it turned out we had enough points when he was sacked to stay up, although of course, we didn't know that at the time
  9. Not sure how there can be any debate really?
  10. I think he has failed the d###head test
  11. I assume he meant that flitcroft hadn't had the tools to do his job? Ie, money Not saying I agree with that, just my interpretation of the post btw
  12. Same here, was just about to post exactly the same.. just cba to watch it, too depressing/upsetting
  13. Surely hardly anyone will go to this match in the circumstances? Watch it on ifollow, at least the vale get some cash then. I think a completely empty away end sends a message to the efl. And b4 someone comments about supporting the team, big away followings haven't helped in the slightest recently. Might send a message to others at the same time?
  14. Even RZ would surely have to admit that Clark has done an amazing job at Cheltenham, and in L1. Wouldn't he?
  15. Is that us naked, or you. Just asking for a friend
  16. My problems with the letter are, A, I don't like being lectured/ told off, " it has to stop" B, Carol listed all these objectives, a tick b tick etc, but it's all with hindsight. Were these so called objectives stated anywhere beforehand? C, nowhere does she comment on all of the problems. League position, threadbare squad, no strikers, etc etc D, I would have thought a key objective would be to keep us in L1 myself, especially after " championship ready" followed by " L1 steady" statements previously. E, surely some comments had to be made re the January transfer window? At a forum it was stated that we needed strikers in January, they didn't arrive, despite our lead striker then being sidelined for 12 weeks. Why FGS? Other teams signed them. Even if there is no money, surely a couple of PL kids could have come in? F, why dud a DOF with over 300 games experience not take charge on Tuesday after Dunn left, ( and indeed why did Dunn go, usually the manager plus assistant go and the coach takes temporary charge ), but threw the academy coaches under the bus. No presser today I notice. Plus refusing to speak to RS now I want to make it clear that I am definitely not anti Carol. For me most of the infrastructure spends have been essential. The pitch just had to be done, managers were complaining about it even after wins. Scoreboard, interest free loan, so monthly repayments, offset by advertising revenue. Fan zone, cant see how that isn't a revenue earner. RP toilets issue, covered many times and logical. Hamil toilet issue, unfortunate that it's come at the same time, but very short term and being addressed. Campus, seems a very long term project to me, hopefully very little spent so far. Training zones, maybe we have moved too fast? For me the problems started last January. In late December the club were talking of " going for it". It being the play offs ( I think we were about 9th at the time). Clearly there was a major policy shift shortly afterwards. I could understand pulling back, I didn't think we stood much chance of reaching them and next to no chance of being promoted. But it lead to an almighty scare. I can't believe that we have repeated it from a much poorer league position. Sadly I cannot see where the goals to save us are going to come from. Hope to God I'm wrong. Sorry for the late night, wine fuelled rant. Feel better now though, lol
  17. My take, they met Monday am, decided to sack the manager and his assistant, assuming that Dunn would become the caretaker, and he told them to stuff it. At which point DF just had to take charge. To throw the academy boys under the bus is just terrible.
  18. Benning, Harrison and Hall, don't know how or why we let those leave without adequate replacements in first. And that's just 3 I can think of right now. Nice little port vale again
