    This thread is getting very Talking Heads to me….according to some, we’re on the Road to Nowhere and they are telling everyone to Stop Making Sense, while for others we are Burning Down the House…..

    Personally I think we should sign a Psycho Killer in this transfer window, and achieve a Once in a Lifetime ambition to get promoted…..

    right now though, it’s more like Life During Wartime and we’re all being Cross Eyed and Painless……I’ll get my oversized suit on the way out…….

    Well done!

    No it isn’t. It is a criminal offence so life ban is the least he should get.

    Immediate life ban should send out a message to the other numbnuts who fancy doing the same? We don't need fines for people who can't control themselves!

    Even when Clarke was fit, he wasn't being played.

    His last 5 games were 19th Sept / 23rd Sept / 10th Oct / 21st Oct and got injured during the Peterborough game on 24th Oct, Before these games he had played in 7 games from 5th Aug - 5th Sept...not exactly not playing?

    Another defender , oh great stuff 👍

    For crying out loud!!!!! You can look back to the summer transfer speculation and see how many calls there are for a LWB? When we do get one, you whinge about it - which, sadly, is how the few malcontents on here operate!

    As someone in recovery like Robbie is you tend to go seek your true passions in life when things were simpler so often you tap into a constant passion that was always there from a young age. For me it has been football. Its a constant and I have really built my recovery around the Vale, working voluntarily for the foundation and I have a meeting with Chris Turner tomorrow. Its no surprise that Robbie has done more and more with Vale especially how he sees how Carol's vision fits in with his own and his money will not only help the community but also Burslem and Port Vale. I honestly think there is some merit to the Sun's article and the evidence is already there. Think the next 30 or so hours will be very interesting. Notice Tom Ince is available and only went for 50k in the summer and lives locally. I wonder. He is still contrated to Reading.

    Good post, fuzzyvalefan...and hope the recovery stays on track - sounds like you're doing everything right?

    The subject of money is so touchy.

    It's always easier to have opinions on what others should do with their money, especially when they have lots of it. 
    We all have dreams of winning the lottery, but if one of us really did win, would our second or even third thought be to give Carol a ring for a bank account number to deposit 50m into? I somewhat highly doubt it...
    You mention the Coates. Even though they've chucked literally hundreds of millions of punds into that club, their fans still want more and think it's not enough. When is enough enough? They're buying players for amounts that could fund our club for seasons, and still it's only enough to just about compete at the level above.
    As I said elsewhere, I think the plan with bringing in Rob is for him to attract bigger sponsors and investors. Just like at AFC Hollywood. The owners there have chucked in cash, yes. But the biggest chunk of the cash, is from sponsors a club at that level usually could only dream of. United Airlines is their main sponsor. Why would an American airline that only function in the UK on a relatively small scale, want to sponsor a League 2 club with millions? Same with Tik Tok they had before. Not to mention the Amazon deal for their 'fly on the wall' thingy. Just take a look a their sponsors, and it's mainly big American brands.
    I think that's what the Vale are hoping Rob can help do for the Vale, amongst other things.
     

    Good points, well made!

    My hope would be that Robbie and his crew would come in as equal partner to the Shanahans...match their investment, and both sides take 49% of the shares. The remaining 2% going to the Vale Supporters Club so they could have their say on major decisions that affect the Club and its future. Not sure whether this scenario is even legal...but I'd like to see it if it is. And Sir John Rudge to be part of the 2%-ers?

    As a fully paid up member of the happy clappers club, i feel it's my duty to educate the poor doom mongers who must be on the verge of running off and joining a circus.😁

    It's a tough gig, though! There's a lot of thick out there!

    Do me a favour 🤔😆😂😂😂😆😆

    You don't see things as they are because of the blinkers* you wear! Put 2 and 2 together and get anything but 4. Rumours become facts, and "facts" from the other village idiots become set in stone - even if you're shown different. Do me a favour!!!

    I like carol , I think she is great but I think it would be beneficial if she takes more control on the football side of things rather than put most of her efforts into social side of the things at the club , because flitcroft has got to much clout at the vale for my liking at the moment.

    She brought DF in because she wasn't confident at running the club...only in running the business side.

    First bit is right. 
     

    We don’t have any money. It’s as simple as that. We have a bottom 4 budget  despite what people are saying. Our highest paid player is probably on the least out of all the league in terms of a clubs top earner. 

    How do you know so much about our budget and players' wages??? - or, is it just BS you've guessed at?

    We either don't have enough money to compete in this league

    Or we have enough and haven't performed well with our signings

    Or we are doing fine. Competitive in this league and our signings are working? 

    I personally feel we do have money to be competitive - not top 7 but midtable. I also think we have some good players and I agree with the way the club are investing in the long term and the facilities. But I also feel we are underperforming on the pitch. What do you think? 

    I don't think we will get relegated, that's for sure...no matter where we are now.

    I feel we can compete against most clubs of our size in this League...but injuries haven't helped, all season - Uche even getting injured during the transfer window; nor have the various postponements we've had.  And losing Ollie and Alfie when they were supposed to be here all season! It's all disruptive and no wonder we've struggled!

    Your reply makes more sense than the "spending our money badly" one I first replied to!

    What he's saying is that things off the pitch are seeming to take precedent over things on the pitch. All the fan zone, hot dogs, community hub, etc.. are great. But they're pointless and will bring in nowt if no one is coming because the first team is <ovf censored> and we're losing every week.

    I know how to read. 

    Things like the fan zone can't be taking precedence over players because they're from different budgets! If "pointless" things bring in extra money for the club, then they're not pointless - are they? And we're not losing every week - yes, we lost on Saturday...after 16 mins of football in 3 weeks and playing the top side who, maybe, were in poor form, but they're still top for a reason...and us having lost 2 of our best players! And we lost to a penalty that never was, 6 minutes from time.

    Exeter made £6m in transfer revenue over their last 2 reported financial periods.

    Carlisle have just been taken over by a consortium who are splashing their cash.

    Wycombe were recently in the championship.

     

    Good points IC! The village idiots on here don't think things through!

    Seriously they don't seem as bothered,   I don't think league tables or results are looked at.

    Apparently we have good losses...

    ...Not concerned with fanzones, rollover hotdogs, face painting, DJ ( who just seems to amuse himself), or old folks bingo. I want to see a team on the pitch with desire and intent. 

    Too often we are able to predict what will happen ( Saturday a case in point).

    All the extras and goodwill are great . But ultimately I pay for my 2 season tickets to see the action on the pitch. And it's poor fayre. 

    Does any of that affect what happens on the pitch? Or, might it help to bring a little more money into the Club?

    Not sure if your recovery after a dislocation reference is tongue in cheek or wishful thinking but there is a possibility we won’t see Uche play for us  again this season (or after for that matter). Anything between 6 weeks and 3 months depending on the nature of the dislocation and the sport is what a professional athlete has to consider. Would think a footballer, especially one with Uche’s ‘style of play’, would be closer to the 3 month mark for them to be 100% ‘fit’.

    Correct: "You can stop wearing the sling after a few days, but it takes about 12 to 16 weeks to completely recover from a dislocated shoulder. You'll usually be able to resume most activities within two weeks. You should avoid heavy lifting and sports involving shoulder movements for between six weeks and three months."

    The commentators in the game, the studio guests who have all played at the highest level of the game then other people that have managed & played in the Premier League were saying that teams like Middlesbrough should not be playing that way.

    They were saying that it should only be the elite teams that should be playing that way because they have the players to do it.

    It's still opinion-based, Brian. And some of these pundits don't seem to realize that diving is cheating...in their opinions? Nor that wrestling someone to the ground, or dragging them down by their shirts have no place in football - but they do in wrestling / rugby?  And - like I asked earlier - did Middlesbrough break with their usual style of play, just for this one-off game...or did those individual errors contribute their usual, inconsistent game  - which has seen them comfortably in mid-table, winning and losing the same amount of games

    Exactly. Not seen anything like this in a while. Teams you would call small with a championship to premire league budget.

    I just meant it wouldn't make the League any more difficult - just the same as it's been since we got back in it!
