It’s not even the worst since 2015.
Has everyone forgotten finishing 20th in League 2?
this squad is mostly contracted next year. we will go down to the conference with this lot. mark my words THEY ARE WORSE.

I’ll get my tin hat on for this one.
It’s time she kopped the majority of blame here.
She bought the club debt free. And as Vale fans we were overjoyed after the last crook. However the last 18 months have been shambolic.
As fans I hear, yeah the academy are doing good. We will get millions for him and him. We have sold this lad to Man City for hundreds of thousands. Etc. Etc. Bearing in mind as supporters we don’t see that money.
So isn’t it right to question why we are almost 10 million in debt when she bought it debt free?
The bread and butter. The football. It’s garbage. With garbage footballers.
Shes also had 4 managers now in her short tenure. And I dare say the latest one won’t last long.
Shes divided a fanbase with her cringeworthy backing of a man who was intent on ruining Port Vale. David Flitcroft. And only sacked him after a group of fans had to give her head a wobble.
The laughs and jokes and arrogance as Flitcroft announced that relegation wasn’t in his vocabulary. Followed by the cringe distraction of “El Presidente”. Probably for her and his ego.
The Valiant Suite talk about how people she met 5 minutes ago told her our players are phenomenal and we won’t go down.
She was very quick to go on radio and tv across the country when it went good. Then sunk back into her shell, apart from the most pathetic open letter I’ve ever read, when she more or less slagged off her fanbase. Those that loved her. In support for one crook.
Sorry Carol. The time has come to break your silence.
The last 18 months has been an absolute disaster. And the repercussions will carry on because that debt isn’t good, the players are garbage, the manager is looking like a dear in the headlights, and the fans are well and truly demoralized with the whole debacle.
The buck stops at the top.
Before any idiot says “Who do you want to buy us”, I’m not saying she should sell. My point is that her decisions, as owner of this football club, have got us into this financial mess and on the pitch it’s an absolute disgrace. The worst Vale team I’ve seen in 40 plus years. And if it was Smurthwaite at the helm, going through all of this, you’d all be raging.She needs to be accountable for her actions.
weve had our run ins over the years spunkers but this is 100% spot on. we are not on a " slag carol off" mission but things cannot go on how they are now or we will end up in non league .

disgusting second half today. if ever there was evidence needed that this squad needs clearing off in the summer it was on show at 4:45pm

im at that point of not wanting to watch this team anymore. the gulf between vale and pboro is embarrassing and depressing at the same time. and theyre not bigger a club than vale. just better run by people who know what theyre doing.
the season cant end fast enough and the thought of watching this lot next season regardless which division we are in is an even more horrific prospect.

How much do you think Moore and his staff are costing? Doesn’t suggest lack of funds.
im not suggesting that at all. im suggesting at the time they wanted to do it as cheaply as possible and just about stay in the division. the recruitment of moore was a massive meltdown on behalf of the club as we are in dire straits and its probably costing us more now that it wouldve just to sign a run of the mill 12 goal striker.

With a decent 12 goals a season striker we may well have won the last two games. Cheers for that DF.
they cost money. we either
a) are skint
b) unwilling to spend.
either normally ends up with a team in the lower reaches. i dont believe for one second " other targets" chose other clubs because of anything other than finances.

happy with another point. you have to feel sorry for darren moore though. hes dragging us out of the relegation spots with the worst squad of players ive ever seen. incredible. needs to be given the funds to improve the team and clear some of these non league players out in the summer.

What a terrible season its been on and off the pitch. But somehow after yesterdays win we are in with a sniff of pulling off a miracle the only way i think we can get ourselves out of this is if we pack the park. Our last home games are all winnable and i think if we were to win them wed stay up. Id like the club to offer cheaper tickets to get bums on seats. Its the start of a new dawn flitcroft is gone although left in position far to long weve all finally got our wishes. Bring family/mates along lets do our bit to push the lads on . They showed fight and passion yesterday lets get vale park rocking for the first time since the hamil switch. I truly believe if we do it can give the players that extra bit in terms of belief to try and get us over the line. we have been fantastic this season considering what weve been put through this season but now is the time to put that all to bed and create some noise in the right way. We are all vale. We all want league one next year. Lets help achieve this.
while i agree with most of what you say. the simple fact is we deserve to be where we are and thats mainly down to us having cheap option players. you ever heard the phrase you pay peanuts ?
vale fans will always turn up. its down to the worst vale squad ive ever seen to turn this around now.

while i dont take pleasure in anyone losing their job. this has to be a positive move by the club and its owner. one thing that has never been answered during this last 18 months is why was the recruitment so awful? was it because the money wasnt there in the first place? the whole championship ready thing was setup for a huge fall without championship funds ( and we all know what sort of money it takes to do that ). if we dont have the funds to push for the championship either it shouldnt have been said or just come clean with the fanbase that without added investment we will never afford a 20 goal striker in this league?? . i just cant believe for the life of mw that a player wouldnt come to any club for location or family reasons as crosby then flitcroft stated in interviews on radio.. so who is lying?

By their own admission they overspent in the early years , and they are simply cutting back to balance the books .
theyve cut back too far and are paying the price not only now but next season and for the next few seasons - alot of fans have had enough of being taken for granted - they also think it will be easy to get promotion again next season - we all know its not that simple.

im not buying into this " oh look weve turned a corner ". im firmly in the Flitcroft out camp. First team is a mess and has been for 18 months. Not even staying up now will convince me otherwise.

As a 42 year old I’d say We’ve had some pretty bad teams in league one and league two and somehow managed to stay up but for in terms of quality lacking all over the pitch and this situation was completely avoidable then I think this is probably the worst for me. We lack fight, strength, pace and most importantly ability. If it wasn’t for watching Ollie and Alfie for some part of the season and a bit of joy to watch two players like that then I’d probably say I haven’t enjoyed many games at all this season. It’s been a complete waste.
its the worst team ive seen since 1987. and ive seen some dross.

No I'm not but in a lot of them defeats we deserved better
Under Moore we have deserved lose every game so far
Crosby at least got a tune out of them to get us to quarter finals of league cup snd in some games we were damn good.
Where's the tune out of Moore
There's no tune.
Silence tiesto
we deserved everything we got in those games under crosby. after the barnsley debacle we had an unbelievably lucky run of sendings off and penalties . then when that dried up we were watching the real vale. as for the cup run that was another fluke as we played the lowest ranked side in every round and only just scraped a win at mansfield. the boro game was an absolute disaster and then soon as we lost arblaster and devine the team fell apart. crosby was and is no manager and we now have to get behind DM who is PROVEN at this level. if we are struggling its not because of him its down to the pi55 poor recruitment over the last 4 transfer windows and that is solely down to fraudcroft.

Carol…. We had lots of candidates for the job but didn’t interview anyone. We knew Crosby was the one and he deserves his chance…………
Bloke lasts 6 months.
Also Carol…… We didn’t go hunting for anyone else. We had Darren on the phone for 3 hours. He was our only pick………….
Bloke can’t buy a win.
Also Carol…… How dare the supporters question my Dave. I gave him objectives of which one was to have a cup run. And by the way the academy is solely because of him. He’s a wonderful man so all of you shut up.
Womans lost the plot.
Vale fans…………. We are off to league two. Your mistakes have been catastrophic. Your DOFs position it totally untenable. We have a team full of crap. And children on the football pitch who should be nowhere near league football.
What an absolute mess.
weve had our disagreements in the past dear spunkers. but im absolutely 100% behind you on this one. Flitcroft simply has to go. the damage has already been done though.

Moore is even more painful than Crosby was after games, to listen to. Huddersfield fans did warn us and now I'm really believing them. It's not on him when we got down, but my God, he comes across as dull and uninspiring.
you cant judge a manager after 4 games least of all one who has been dealt such a crap hand and no transfer window. hes just another fall guy to protect " flicker " . sooner that fraud is cut loose the better.

I’ll send this message to Carol now.
If you want to keep David Flitcroft at the club because you THINK he’s making you money, then keep him the hell away from ANYTHING to do with the football side and DO NOT under ANY circumstances, give him another transfer window.
He is single handedly destroying this football club. And by the way, if the rumours are true and we are paying Ryan Loft around 3k a week, then take it out of Flitcrofts pay, because to chase such a woeful footballer is beyond a disgrace.
Open your <ovf censored> eyes fast Carol!!
Loft is easily the worst player ive seen at the club since 1987. and ive seen some absolute pants up at VP.

Didn't he score a goal the other day? That's more than can be said for our so called forwards. No point making Smith the scapegoat. I think the direction the club have gone in terms of our "club DNA" the past 12 months has not helped his game. Playing with a different set of defenders every game probably doesn't help either. Continuity helps defenders. We've had none of that this season.
His performances have been poor more often than not this season, but he's not been helped by the players around him.
I think that he could prove a valuable asset in avoiding relegation out of the football league next season.
i dont.

If you’re in a relationship and every single family member tells you it’s toxic and every single friend tells you it’s toxic, when you’re being gaslighted you will put up your defences and defend your partner.
This is exactly what is happening here.
The only thing we have to do is give her time in waking up. Sadly I can’t see it anytime soon so the pressure has to be kept on.
The fans need to keep voicing their opinion on David Flitcroft and hound him out of this football club.
you are absolutely 100% spot on. and ive seen some dross over the last 40 years. mostly inthe last 10-15 but this is easily the worst squad of players weve had over that period. the blinkers are on and i see nothing to suggest we wont be playing in the basement league next season. absolutely nothing. bring back bruno and michael brown as assistant manager !

ill just hijack this conversation by saying that is the WRONG way around. and this season has proved it. Fix the first team - thats what paying customers come to see ( and im not talking about those in the ivory tower boxes - im talking about the bulk of the paying customers in the Railway who cant even see where theyre peeing in the mens bogs because the lights are being powered by a hamster wheel) .... not posh academy facilities that do nothing in the here and now. no club runs its operations like that outside of the premier league.
