His sheer presence round the club must be doing more harm than good. If you knew someone that has consistently underperforming / absolutely garbage but was earning significantly more than you then it’s ever likely some of the team have given up.
Who are you talking about ?

(Bad miss aside) I think Lofts playing well today.

Apart from Dwight Gayle? T
He didn’t come in on trial. No way we were beating Derby to that signature either.

Dm said in his presser that the club had bought in 3 people 3 weeks ago as free agents to train, he was very guarded in his words but he arranged a closed doors friendly this week to see them in action and decided that after 3 weeks at the club they were no good. That speaks volumes for the standard of recruitment and that's the guarded "not backstabbing anyone" comments to the press. It's simply been a total <ovf censored> show and flitcroft is the person that was responsible for that.
You’re bang on. It’s way too late to be bringing in free agents as they’ll be nowhere near ready to go fitness wise.

Hopefully Clarke is fit enough today.
Based on last week Clark is miles off being match fit and needs to lose a bit of weight.

Not up to league one standard yet. Needs easing in.

The fact that last season we started with Tommy McDermott as an emergency striker and currently have Dipepa as a better option than our champagne signing Loft speaks volumes for our recruitment.
Reset needed now. Fresh start.
It says that we recruited a striker in loft who isn’t a prolific goalscorer, his stats say it, everyone knows it’s What’s gone wrong is that we haven’t got the right players around him to get the best out of him and we haven’t got a way of playing that suits the players we have.

This squad is awful and DF leaving won't make any difference to that. We can only hope we rebuild well next season UTV !!
You’ve answered your own question with that last sentence. That’s probably why he’s gone now. It stops the abuse directed towards him during games. It stops Carol getting stick about him. It (hopefully) galvanises the fans to concentrating on supporting the team. It may mean that the reluctance to buy season tickets because of flitcroft being there isn’t as much of an issue now. It enables the club to now look at building for next season.

Every club is going to go through a bad patch at this level. How the club bounce back from it is key. The calls for her to sell up because of a bad patch and her backing of a dof that she employed sets a dangerous precedence because you can’t go through owners like you do managers.

There was no other option but for him to go. The performance of him and his team have seen us in this mess, staring relegation in the face. The monetary value of relegation alone is a massive factor as well as the lack of trust in giving him another transfer window in the summer.
The unrest from the fans over the job he’s done is also a huge factor too, it would affect season ticket sales, the atmosphere at games and maybe have an effect on the team. The club cannot be in that situation of unrest and hostility. It’s ended in the right way, it’s just come too late IMO.

Flitcroft resigns just as the supporters meeting begins. It's almost as if that meeting between Carol and supporter representatives the other week did a lot of good?
I bet it changed the mood and the topic of conversation for the meeting tonight.

Not sure if there’s a thread for this already. Admin please merge if there is

The problem is we have a fatal combination of a defence that will concede a goal, it's a case of when rather than if.
We also have a forward line who can't score goals , it's a case of if rather than when.
Funny how everyone seems to forget the bits in front of the defence and behind the strikers. Goals conceded aren’t always just down to the defence and goals scored or created aren’t all down to the strikers. It’s a team effort. We have a poor team that can’t defend as a unit or create chances.

I’ve said this before but she’s lost in power and fame.
I got shot down a couple of years ago on here after yet another appearance by the owners on the pitch. It was during the promotion season IIRC. I just suggested that they should stop being so front and center by seemingly courting all the praise and adulation, because there will come a point when things will turn on the pitch, football fans have short memories and they won’t be interested in what was achieved in the past and will very easily turn on them. We’ve hit that point this season.

I don't know what to think .
Questions need be asked .
We are rapidly deteoriating into the biggest laughing stock in English football .
That hurts saying that when for years I've encouraged like crazy for Vale .
On sat couldn't bring myself applaud the players ON to the pitch or sing wonder of you just feel totally disconnected to the club who I've given up sleep for spent thousands ON .
To see all that good work of Wembley within 2 seasons be for nothing is absolutely gut wrenching.
If indeed if we are relegated this will be the one that cut me open the most and hurt my Vale loving heart tremendously .
I do not get how we have allowed it come to this .
In the grand scheme of things ,yes we ain't a big club but we don't have to think like a small one .
Performances have in the main being terrible, the lack of fight and will to win is absolutely unbelievable for professional people, how can that not annoy our support oh it has tremendously, and doing this to a lady who saved the club has angered me greatly.
However she has stood by her man over thousands of loyal supporters .
Why no strikers brought in you surely speculate to accumulate.
So for that and making majority of fan base angry and frustrated and downright miserable there has to be ACCOUNTABILITY.
End the process or sell up .
Let's get this straight I won't be messaging Carol or anyone else I respect the job she has done but this can not continue.
Welcome back.

As bad as Jones was he’s been thrown to the dogs being picked at LB. Our options on the left side of defence dictated by the shortcomings in the squad, which go back to one man. Forget Dan Jones, the real villain of the piece is our DoF for not addressing the issue after Benning left.
Wasnt jones a left back when we signed him?

He’s never been a goal scoring striker.
