Who trusts Carol to open her wallet and find the funds for a respectable squad?

I’d love to hear a genuine case for us winning this because I’ve been trying to use my imagination all week to come up with a way it could happen but just can’t see it. This team has been so bad I had more hope in my heart for a win when we played Man City.

It’s a problem. I mean there are few clubs in the football league left who we can guarantee we can offer more success than at the moment. The idea we were a league 1 sleeping giant has been truly exposed. There will certainly never be any Championship football without some serious, almost unimaginable change to the club. If you spent £10m on the club over the summer, I doubt we’d even get a guaranteed play off place in league 1 at the moment. What appeal is there? There was this idea we were a friendly, family club with brilliant owners, but that looks hard to justify with the losses and inability to stem the decline. League 2 feels more like a forgotten, graveyard league more than ever.

Letting go of Worrall who was one of the few players we had with high end league 1 experience with Millwall was a stupid, moronic decision. How Michael Brown managed to convince him to sign with us after we got relegated last time to league 2 and he had just been promoted to the championship with Millwall where he had been a regular was truly a wonderful bit of business. Flitcroft never came close to anything like that.

That’s true, but I didn’t see much of an effort to tighten things up and even in his own interview he told them “more of the same” which is mad given that no way were we going to keep up the first half tempo for 90 mins.

Really sad news. That’s the death of the cup right there. Some of the greatest moments in Vale’s history have been cup replays.

Carol wants a Damehood and given the quality of the football team she has overseen it won’t be for services to football.

Well at least that’s Carol well positioned for a Damehood when the New Year’s honours list comes out.

Overspent or not spent enough on what was needed?

Hate losing? After having been at those clubs? Poor sods must be suicidal!

I’d rather pay £1,000 for a season ticket if it was spent on a better effort than this season. Cheap and crap doesn’t really motivate me.

Stevenage lost Evans today and some highly amusing caller into 3 counties Radio suggested that they go for Darren Moore! Who wants to offer him a lift? 😂

Would you sign players who have never played in England, who you have never seen play live, who last played months ago? You don’t need a matrix to know that’s a recipe for disaster. The sane would not. The Vale have.

By the standards of league 1 strikers he is not on a lot. Certainly not a top earner by divisional standards. He was unemployed without a club, so was hardly a man in demand.

There was no matrix. It was just whoever was wandering around cheap in need of work. Uche..signed not because he was needed but because the window had closed and he was all we could afford. Wilson: Have a contract as nobody else wants him with the injury record, but we will take you back if you’ll play for 2k a week. Etc Etc March…some bloke who has not played since October…Deklan Wynne…have a contract. So it continues….

It isn’t Smurf. The idea he’d write a post concerned with anyone else but himself is just impossible. If it was him and he wants to show concern, how about joining forces with Carol and stick his money in if he wants to show support. Go from villian to hero.

Then that’s when he should have been sacked but Carol dragged it on. So far however Moore has had no streak of any decent wins.

He then motivated them from that low to go on a streak of wins.

Indeed. Even in an alternative fantasy land we will not be beating Bolton. Basically rewatch last week at Peterboro for a sneak preview of the outcome.

The only beautiful side for Moore is his wage.

I agree. I think you’re right. Certainly no way does a Crosby team 2-0 on Saturday lose 4-2 either. I just can’t imagine that.

Well, the Blackpool 3-0 win was my favourite performance of the season. I thought he made great calls starting those young lads with experienced heads like Uche and Wilson. Injuries stopped that from becoming a regular line up sadly. I don’t think personally either Crosby or Moore are actually bad. I prefer Crosby because he has done the same but cheaper. However the standard of player in the squad is awful. That’s on Flitcroft for hiring them and Carol for paying them money. Carol should have never, ever cut the budget. That will cost her far more long term.

Bloody hell. That’s terrible.

I don’t have the money, but I promise I could do it better. If you have the money, does that mean you can moan? Having said that, Carol doesn’t have the money either.

The sad reality is, at the very least Crosby managed as much as what Moore has. For a lot less money and no posse of support staff either. Also when he got the push, we were not in the relegation zone and had numerous games in hand, which Moore has squandered. I wanted Moore, so I don’t blame Carol for that. I do blame Moore for basically just doing the same as Crosby with nearly everything. If we think the losses this year are bad, wait til you see next years on smaller gates having to sustain Moore’s mega wage.
