You would hope it is and then the rebuilding work can start. Not last minute dot com building a team to get us back to Div 1.

With Smith, is it being Captain and being played out of his favourite position that has affected him this season. He is one of those, in Div 2 and no distractions like Captain he may find his previous form. There again he may not. I am not one of those - he needs to stay as he is Vale through and through. Not your gash now - so off you go. Port Vale comes first. Ojo seems to want away after Crosby left. Just hope the Owners back DM and he can build a squad to bounce back into Div 1 first time. But Div 2 is a hard one, if the squad plays like it did the last 2 years.

DM needs to be given this season to sort this bunch of sihte out. Either getting rid of them and building his own team or working with them over the close season and building their confidence back up, getting the silly mistakes out of them. Bring in new players into key roles we need and then at the end of the Dec 24 if we are still sihte, then call for his head. He has had fraudcroft poor 2 years of recruitment to deal with, the team was built for a certain formation - which we all knew would not work- apart from Carol and fraudcroft. Not even God could get most of them to average non-league footballers, let alone league footballers. 🤣 Also see what the owners do backing him.

If the players don't turn up then they need to be gone straight away. Don't they realise this is the very last chance for them to say boss I could make it in Div 2. Please don't get rid of me. But no doubt most of them wont take this chance and still make the silly individual errors.

Out of that squad there are probably 3 players that spring to mind have any fight in them - Garrity, Ripers and Smudge. Uche would just bounce anyone off his frame. The others just have no fight in them at all. 🤣 Was the tweet posted by anonymous.

Wife's parents supported Cambridge and dad used to talk about the players they had and how they bargain shopped all the time, so have a soft spot for Cambridge. But they found good players most of the time. Being able to spot the better players (rough diamonds) and bring them on is the trick.

It wont happen, curiosity will get the better of you and you will be back to checking every hour or so like the rest of us. 🤣

Agree DM needs time to sort out the dross and get them gone from this club as they are contracted next season. However, some want instant success from the team. Not even God could get most of the players to league standard and playing well. The team is very weak and asked to fill loads of positions which is not their favourite position. Also full of individual mistakes which are under 4 mistakes standards - not professional footballers. There is no real fight in most of them, only a couple show fight and will stand up for the younger players.

No doubt it would be added. Then charged interest on it.

But that is no surprise anyone can score against us most of the time due to our ever giving defence and midfield. 🤣. Agree there are little gems in the non-league, but you just have to have the network to find them. Did Fraudcroft even consider those leagues.

Just wondering why you think the fans deserve a share in the club? The fans have a voice via the fans forum. The owners bought the club with their own money. May be I missed things, but when did the fans all club together and put the money down as part payment with the current owners when they paid over the odds to save the club from the blue sihte one. Just wondering. Suppose you also think all companies should have given you shares in their company when you haven't paid anything to buying/running of the company. Same example as the club. If the owners said we are floating shares in the club and fans can buy shares, then yes those fans would/should have a say in the club is run, but they haven't.

Think I would prefer Carol just.

Not saying only get his players he is an agent for - most will be out of our price range or rubbish. But speak to him about football related things she is unsure about. Use Sir Rudge as well as a sounding board. Use their knowledge and experience in football to help make sure the re-building decisions she has already or trying to make a big decision on are sound ones and will not hurt you or the club further down the line. If you have a couple of people to sound ideas off, that will help. Like she probably did with Colin G at the beginning till he moved on. I have this idea - what do you think? No it will not work for this reason or it may work, but could fail later on - or if you do it this way it will work better etc. Specially if he is willing to speak free of charge to the owners. He sounded like us, really gutted we had gone down and was vocal about the reasons why and what was needed. Use that knowledge/thoughts and ideas to sort out the problems during the review of the last 2 years disaster Vale have had.

Get some Sjoke fans in they know how to demolish toilets and the roof may fall on them 🤪 🤪

That apology letter has been prepared for the last month and bet the CEO has done the check on it and amended it, as there was only going to be one outcome. Surprised she didn't get in that the fans were naughty fans for making her sack/move on Fraudcroft and relegation is our fault really. Lessons learned - may be buy 2 strikers that can last more than a couple of games. Failed that one after the first 2 transfer windows. Failed this seasons transfer windows. Players that are up to the job and not the cheapest option. That said good luck in the preparing for 2nd Div football, hope you get things sorted and we can start the climb out of this division the right end of it. Will not be easy due to the clubs here. Big club - no we are not. We are just another club in the div. Carol needs to listen to free advice from those who have been in football a long time. Sproson could be a good start as he seemed mighty upset by the last 2 season on saturday. Carol - you still have some credits in the bank for what you and family did. However, a lot of them have been cashed in over the past 2 years and the letter saying the fans were being naughty. When you look at it overall, think the fans sussed Fraudcroft out, when certain people were still taken in by his presentations and jargon. Not saying some of the things he achieved were all bad, but when it came down to recruitment and that was the important one - totally wrong most of the time.

Can see where you went with this and agree mostly. Offer Leutwiler a further contract as he hasn't had the chance to break into the normal side due to Ripers being fit. Games he played looked sound and capable player. However, feel Garrity, Chisslet will be picked up by some Div 1 club - If this happens and the club doesn't try to keep them - just shows how much Carol and Co want to get out of Div 2. Ojo - Does he want to be here now. Smith - Became a liability as Captain (is being Captain affecting his playing ability). See what the season brings - but if any of the contracted players you listed are still here we will be in another relegation battle. They are full of silly mistakes, not able to track players and not worthy to wear the Vale shirt.

You just never know what will happen with Vale. It never goes like you want it to from one season to another, as something good will happen and then bad. You sit there wondering, why do I do this week in week out. But we all do. Already wondering what the pre-season will bring player wise. Who will go - please get rid of this years dross somehow. Who will come in. The big question - will we get any decent strikers or will there be any strikers bought? 🤣

Could we take that as - I want to get rid of the dross I have inherited and I want to bring my players in. There are some good players here, but Fraudcroft you brought some real sihte players in.

Just hope the young players are not put back in their development by being forced into this squad. In other clubs they would be loaned out and get some experience that way. Vale have shoved them into the team and hoped. They have actually played better than the experienced players brought in. What does that say about recruitment.

This has been over 2 seasons, not just this one. Last season sowed the seed of failure and we survived and then this season it totally fell apart.

The fans could always stay and sing "You know who you are - your <ovf censored> and you know you are" Feel for some of the Vale players who have showed spirit and fight over this season and been let down by players who shouldn't be at this level. and have let the club, themselves and the fans down.

Should be in the starting 11. 🤣

I understand and if things change for me I will be travelling 4 hrs there as well. Mostly to buy a load of oatcakes for the freezer, put some flowers on mum and dads grave, then watch the game. Spend some money in the shop as well. Seen this happen to the Vale, so many times, yo-yo club, but the last 2 seasons have hurt so much. Like many fans, very unhappy, sad and when the season finishes watching for the news of players leaving, players coming in ready for next season.

It was a slow week on the community projects and she needed the hype for the ego. 🤣
