Leutweiler, Cass and Walters are also up this summer although Walters has been offered a pro one. Presumably Shorrock will be offered one when he is 17 at the end of the month.

So because of more European competitions the likes of Crawley v Leyton Orient can't have a replay in the First Round. Some of my best Vale memories with Vale are cup replays, Everton, Derby and for older fans Sunderland and Liverpool even though we lost. Never again!

Normally you get about 2 grand being bet on correct scores in lower league games over the whole country, but suddenly about 12 grand was placed overall on Accrington 0 Bury 2 in 2008. That was how it finished and it took 12 months to fine and suspend four Accrington players.

Well his interest in Tranmere isn't strange if you know who their commercial manager is!

Cheltenham are in a bad run now, one win in eight

Tell that to people like Grumpy Old Man!

Reading are sorted for this season so won't get any more deductions.

400 grand for one of them

Plymouth actually

That didn't happen! Longest we went that season was 6 !

The latest edition of Derek I'm Gutted!!! (no 115) is now on sale at the Shrewsbury game and all others home and away over the next few weeks. High Lane News and the Bulls Head in Burslem will as usual have a stock. This issue includes the annual Sacking Supplement! A packed 36 pages, still only £1!

We wouldn't have been out of the bottom four with a win

And we would lose three points for beating them

Without knowing all the facts, the price seems to be a hell of a lot. Don't they normally make 3 or 4 million a year?

What is House of the Year?

They haven't all got a DOF

he does

We didn't do one, haven't done for Trophy games since the pandemic

He was back training last week but limped out, maybe another injury!

Newcastle town

Certainly isn't a cheap option. Taking a club like Sheffield Wednesday up from League One with their budget isn't the hardest thing to do though, although we could do worse.

Charlton certainly are on a run, 15 without a win.

The penalty certainly wasn't dubious, bit silly of the defender at that stage of the game though.

So did we in the summer

Yes it is a priority but he is an experienced manager, more experienced than the three he has left in charge.
