This is a great idea. However, we have numerous fans forums where these concerns were made. Did Carol not listen to them back if she wasn't in attendance?

Carol needs to realise the multiple monumental mistakes she's made over this season, ignoring the fans concerns which have proven to be justified, and personally fund a L2 title bid. The fans wouldn't have made these mistakes and don't deserve L2 football. If we can spend one season in L2 and bounce straight back then I will forgive her.

If he's fit and can't displace Grant from the first team then I know all I need to.

If the bigger clubs don't want to play replays, they can just rest their first team and play the reserves/kids? Rather than forcing the other 710 clubs to bend to their stupid pandering's.

Despite them being a plastic club, I don't see us as a step up from them in terms of wages or potential success?

Release: Wilson, Wynne, Massey Keep for 1st team: Chis, Garrity, Ripley, Keep for backup: Uche, Smith, Yak, Clarke, Sang (as a CM), Try and get rid of: Loft, Jones, Lowe, Debrah, Grant Play 4-3-3 and utilise wingers. Ripley New RB - New CB - New CB - New LB Garrity - Ojo - Chislett New Winger - New Striker - New winger 7 new signings. All first teamers. That should be enough to stay up if we recruit properly, even if we can't move any on.

This thread is going to be horrific in the summer. 100's of daily posts clamouring for the return of Worrall, Gibbons, Hall, Harratt etc

This feels like one of the most pointless games we'll ever play where the gulf in class will be like we're playing a cup game against a Championship side and won't get a kick. Bolton 0-1 Port Vale then!

Did they EFL have any say in this? 729 teams compete in this cup, why have 20 dictated these new rules? Sold it's soul.

No messing about this summer trying to be clever with "progressive ball playing defenders" and "aligning with the values of the club". Winners. Let's raid Crawley/Accrington/Newport/Morecambe/Harrogate/Barrow etc for their best players. Proper men. Aggressive. Hate losing.

Just had a look on Twitter for posts towards Carol and there is a lot of stick aimed her way. Nothing personal or abusive, but a lot of anger. A lot of people calling for her to sell which I REALLY disagree with. She's made some pretty obvious mistakes and hasn't helped herself with some of the quotes she's made - "phenomenal players", "coaches wives say we'll stay up", "appointing Dave Flitcroft wasn't a mistake" etc but fans need to be careful what they wish for in calling for her to sell.

Why does Moore keep saying things like "they", "Port Vale", "the Vale". It's "we" Darren. YOU are in charge of this. Take some accountability!

Bowers just said we have the lowest 'tackles made' stats in the whole league. Seems our nice guys just don't want to hurt anyone!

They're all scared. No leaders. Imagine recruiting "nice guys" rather than "winners".

These players are pathetic. It'll turn ugly tonight. No fight. No heart. <ovf censored> THEM ALL OFF.

Good heavens. What an absolute shambles of 3 minutes! Sack the lot.

No idea tbh. They were the players signed whilst he was manager. Not sure what kind of setup existed at the time. I'm sure he'd have had some sort of say though?

He still reads this forum. Posted today on the "Carol Shanahan" thread.

When Reading invaded the pitch, according to EFL rules, we should have got the 3 points. We didn't. And lost the re-arranged game. Those 3 points could now relegate us! We've been garbage, and deserve to be relegated, but another team will be the same and finish 5th bottom!

I don't think Darren Moore can leave if he wants to continue a career in management. I'm sure I read somewhere he's won 5 games of football in his last 40 odd games as manager. Just been relegated. His stock is low. His best plan now would be to lead us into the playoffs/promotion to rebuild his reputation. If he stays, and we're not doing well in L2, gets sacked before Christmas, he's finished.

How so? Burton on 43 points, we're on 40. Burton win, we lose, would mean Burton are 6 points ahead with 2 left? Sent from my SM-G981B using onevalefan mobile app

I think if we were winning, people would be saying "I really like how calm and collected Moore is" + "he never gets too emotional whether we win or lose". I agree that Vale fans do react better to passionate managers though - Clarke/Adams vs Moore/Page/Askey etc.

She still needs to recognise her mistakes. An apology would do that to reverse this statement: "I have made several mistakes as owner of Port Vale. Appointing Dave Flitcroft was not one of them".

She's cocked up massively. To put this right: She needs to write another letter to the fans, apologising. She needs to write a massive transfer warchest cheque from her own money to fund a promotion winning side. She's caused this, not the fans who saw these issues a mile off. She needs to get a real manager in.
