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.

bring back Rob Page all is totally forgiven

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.

its the worst team ive seen since 1987. and ive seen some dross.

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.

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.

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.

Loft is easily the worst player ive seen at the club since 1987. and ive seen some absolute pants up at VP.

i dont.

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 !

im voting with my feet starting tuesday night by staying in the house. cant be arsed now its that bad i dont even care anymore 😞

this is the worst vale side ive seen easily in over a decade. the transfer windows in the last 2 years were a mess. and were sleepwalking back into league 2. not even guardiola could rescue this shambles. im at that point now where im not even bothered about going on tuesday . carol can shove her letter. championship ready? more like league 2 steady ( just about ) oh and FLITCROFT OUT.

as ive previously posted on here. flitcrofts role at the club will be untenable if we are relegated. whilst he has done "some" good at the club sadly the last 18 months have been an utter disaster. 11 wins in 53 games since january 2023 tells the whole story.

whether we want him gone or not is irrelevant. im in the out camp but the simple fact is carol wants him here . personally i think if we go down his position is untenable.

so ive had time to take in the letter and listen to ale and the vale podcast and most of the stuff thats cropped up i totally agree with. alot of what has been stated in the letter doesnt interest fans in the here and now. we all know how good carol et al have been in saving the club and looking after the community. HOWEVER. this last 18 months has been a disaster on the pitch and it needs redressing URGENTLY. the simple fact is - the first team should always be a priority and it hasnt been over this period. we all knew we needed a LWB and a reasonable striker to stay even " league one steady " and as much as i want to see vale managers do well we all kinda knew letting crosby take the reins would end in failure ( only because weve seen it so many times before) so what do we need now? the short answer is a SOLID league manager who knows how to get the best out of a struggling team and this is the worst bit - were gonna need a journeyman free agent striker ( probably gonna want big money in wages) to get us out of this mess. i fear we dont have the funds for either and this is gonna set us back 3-4 years. we can do without more turmoil after whats gone on previous to carols tenure. its exhausting.

my views havent changed. flitcroft leaves a LOT to be desired. especially since hes making all the signings ( most of which are young future prospects on loan) and not actually players we can sign on long term deals. then theres the issue of 3-5-2 all the time on a pitch as big as wembleys. and then theres the insistence on keeping a manager whos win ratio is appalling. want me to go on ?
