You can start the post mortem now because the patient is well and truly dead. Is it only the fans who can see it from the terraces? What are they watching from the directors box ?

Phenomenal

Boomer would walk into this team , no contest.

The question that comes to my mind is when in the first 10 mins will the opposition score their first goal ?

Withdrawn

Withdrawn

If we accept we are down , and most do, should we be giving the young lads more game time ? Better to get them League 2 ready , at least they will play for the shirt.

You are right,forget we paid a fee for him you couldn't give him away. No scout who came to watch him would go anywhere near him unless you are looking along way down the football pyramid, think Hanley Town.. Only hope is if another club has a process that's as useless as ours.

To quote the UB40 song think he is more a 1 in 10. If I remember correctly the song was about unemployment. Currently Loft is unemployed as a striker at the Vale.

The person who was in the coffin is starting ahead of Loft on Tuesday.

Flitcroft is not up to the job, the last 18 months and our current league position prove that, fact not opinion. So why should the person responsible for everything the ball touches be trusted with the same job next season. Trust me the "Process" has failed .

Is Ripley getting too involved in games such as playing the sweeper role something he is doing off his own bat or is he just following orders ?

This squad struggles to tie it's own shoelaces.

I heard Lofty did it fighting for a shirt. Unfortunately Boomer was having none of it.

Didn't you read Carols letter, it's the fans fault.

Didn't you know. It's all part of Port Vale in the Community.The people with no hope, failures in everything they've ever done, people who can see nothing in their future, we've signed them and given them 2 year contracts.

Flitcroft is right about one thing, becoming League 2 ready isn't entertaining.

I guess the fans representatives requested a meeting with the club management but who the club fronted up for that meeting was probably out of their control. I would hope whether our DoF was absent or present would not have altered the tone of the conversation. If approx 90% of your paying customers think a particular individual is responsible for your current demise and do not want him at the club anymore then it's foolish for a business person to ignore such strong sentiment. Especially a smart business person.

Unfortunately the couple he is trying to bring in are George and Mildred

Let's hope Carol has an Emperors new clothes moment very soon and sees what we are all seeing. Flitcroft , who almost got us relegated last season, will this season. As he is the person responsible for everything the ball touches, why is he still here ? Forget all the other stuff he does the only part of his job that really matters is keeping us in this division . Carol he is failing Port Vale, the fans can see it even if you can't. Forget the smooth patter and actually look at the league table. Phenomenal players don't get you relegated, phenomenal players get you promoted.

I nearly won the Lottery, just 4 numbers short. I thought I was going to win it right up to the last minute deadline until they only pulled 2 of my numbers out.

And it's not,on the pitch is where it really, really matters. Who is the man responsible for everything the ball touches ?

Agreed it's 2 mistakes, appointing him and then keeping him in a job.

Carol has spent her money in the wrong areas. It's money spent on the players on the pitch that keeps you in this division. Everything else plays second fiddle, I appreciate the ground has to confirm to legal requirements but we are going down. We don't need a DOF but what we desperately need is a goalscorer. The man responsible for everything the ball touches nearly took us down last season ,I'm convinced he will go one better this season. Why is is still here ? Must read Carols letter again.
