Nice one Paul. Nice and level headedI commend the Shanahan's for having such a meeting as it can improve and maintain the contact and relationship with the club's customer/fan base as long as the fans understand their place in this. However, the downside is that if the "baying mob" don't get their way things can slide downhill even quicker and it can undermine the position of the leader of the organization.
For all the titles Carole is the leader of PVFC, she appoints leaders of various departments to help her get the job done and achieve objectives at PVFC. Every business has one leader who listens to their reports and makes decisions on which they swim or sink. A business cannot be run by committee or a group of fans as ask 10 people a question and usually 10 different answers will be received.
Carol will know what's caused the Vale to be in the relegation zone of Lge 1, she doesn't need consultants to tell her it's poor recruitment. She will also know the Lge position and remaining in Lge 1 are the two objectives that carry the most weight by far for the club, not training pitches or the Bycars bogs and internally she will be thinking to herself and talking to others to find out why, what are the reasons the recruitment has been so poor this last 4 windows and working/making plans to rectify it somehow.
Out of this whole sorry mess it will be a disaster for PVFC if the Shanahan's decided to sell up now, the finger points at Flitcroft for the poor recruitment but Carol may decide it's the size of the budget, the wage cap etc that's the problem or something related. Lessons have to be learned from this to ensure it doesn't happen again.
I appeal to fans to be patient with Carol as she has a track record of making the right decisions at the appropriate time. I just wish I had 5 million quid to gift the club.

Yeah me too. So much for 'drama free Vale'For the first time in months I’ve spent 4 days not once thinking about Port Vale. It’s been lovely.
I genuinely think we could all do with a break. It’s all very intense and fractious. I dread to think what the mood is like in the Shanahan household
The summer cannot come quickly enough - whatever the division.
it's relentless

Two fks given 'big' Brian. People don't dance to your merry tune, you resort to ridicule, just like to 10 year old lads crying at games when Vale lose.bump
You literally can't handle it. Bless ya

The drama is endless and draining tbh. Just hoping that one day it may just stop and we can be a relatively 'normal' football club! It can't go on for ever like this, surelyAbsolutely applaud all the beautiful bouncing valiants, but it's a no from me. Leek Town next season, but will probs still have an ifollow season ticket.
Just had enough of the toxicity and never ending drama - I can almost accept the football as we are the vale after all.
Having said all that, I'll probs see you all in the Hamil in August

Today was a free hit.
Only we can't afford free hits, got about 7 or 8 weeks left of the season to turn it round, and everything I feared about the manager is coming to fruition.
Yeah it's kind of clutching at straws. Lose to Shrewsbury it's Defo curtains. Beat Shrewsbury, it's just delaying the inevitable and giving us false hope.
I'd like to know if DM seriously thinks/thought he can turn this around or if he's part of some sort of relegation plan to get us back up ASAP.

HehehHow can Derby be playing good football on such a rubbish pitch. If only they had a decent pitch they could be as good as us ,,,, oh yeh-

Thing is Brian I really, really don't have to explain myself to you, in any way shape or form.Yet, you question my attendance
I'll be there Sat as always just to drag the season ticket out. -
On the plus side our pitch looks in better nick than Derby's

Oh well we had a spirited effort for 10 mins. Amazing what an actual striker can do. Don't think he's touched the ball apart from that goal. But it doesn't matter as he's only there to score goals tbh so he's done his job .
Obviously we had to gift them the obligatory defensive blunder of a goal in the opening minutes, just to make sure we definitely won't win and to make it as difficult as possible for us to try and get anything out of the game at all.
Love us to get 3 but it's never happening! -
Today no, pretty much every other game, yes, if that's OK with you of course.Obviously, you are not at the game too, so, its also irrelevant to you -
Great goal Vale
-
You won't be there on a sat afternoon so it's irrelevant to you BrianSo we should be Flictcroft on a Saturday afternoon?

Same mate. Kind of wish I was going now with that many SVA in attendanceBig shout out to all travelling Valiants today. Safe journey and hope you all get something out of your support. I'm sorry to admit that I'm giving it a miss. Too depressed with the whole Club at present. Felt I needed a break. UTV. SVA. -
Don't see the point in booing them or constantly pointing out they aren't good enough. If their not good enough they're not good enough, that's not their fault.
The fault lies else where as to who actually thought they were good enough and got them in.-

Blimey
People who refuse to criticise Carol in any shape or form are deluded numpties, in my opinion. There's plenty of them here. I'm not judging anyone based on their actual overall character seeing as I don't know those people personally, but that should be pretty obvious. I'm also sure you've been called much worse at times throughout your life than a "biddy" for crying out loud.

Feel bad and terrible , but I'm not going. I can't handle an away drubbing as I feel that's what's going to happen. I obviously want to be proved wrong and hope I am wrong.
Gonna spend the weekend with the better half to try and make her like me -
Good post Nodge. My thoughts exactlyI won't excuse the individual errors as they were criminal and he's right in some ways in his interview when he says we seem to get punished where other teams get lucky.
We do have a very rigid squad with not much room for flexibility and by signing "good eggs" we seems to be completely devoid of any absolute nastiness thats sometimes needed out there to see games through to win.
I do think Moore has to take some proportion of the blame though as at half time Adam switched up the shape and designed it to get balls into Stockley and it came up trumps for him.
I sit right at the back of the Hamil and you could see the repeated pattern, whether it was left wing or right wing, they high pressed with a triangle and one would eventually whip a cross in with pace rather than float it in. Designed to cause panic and pressure.
Our responses were the following:
1) Clip it out for a corner
2) Half clear it away to their two awaiting centre mids who mopped up every single second ball, and either had a crack at goal themselves or fed it wide so the move starts all over again
This went on for the entire second half, and even though he changed personnel, he did nothing to change that shape. For me he's just hoping we hold out there, and if you let a team dominate the ball like that and have the ball constantly in the box, the law of averages says one will go in.
Another tough pill to swallow-

It's not Moore out by any stretch of the means. What tactics did you see second half that were effective, along with subs? Yes the squad is threadbare. But to capitulate like that in the second half, after a positive first half is very questionable. We all saw it and all thought exactly the same. Wtf is going on!!!Ah it’s only taken four games for the usual clowns to want Moore out.
This ship was sunk long before he arrived and I’ll judge him come this time next year. Plenty of effort tonight but not enough quality which sums up most our games in 2024. Had we got a forward like Stockley we’d have stayed up instead we signed no one other than Loft.
i hope when Carol sits down with DF to review this season, she doesn’t accept his woeful performance in the transfer market.

Farcical and diabolical second half. Not convinced by big D at all atm.
Gonna get ripped a new one Saturday,make no mistake.
Its the inability to close and the standing off that's just veering on insane.
Surely his halftime talk wasn't keep it tight at the back and let them come at you, we're 2/0 up they aren't getting any goals. We've got this?
Has he literally not watched any Vale games where we sit back and actively encourage a complete bombardment on our fragile defence and weak af midfield.
Just keep at them and Press or something ffs. No, let's just let them do exactly what they want for 45 minutes. Completely naive and possibly out of his depth. Even at little old Port Vale-

Why should they put a penny from this deal in? They've had horrific abuse. Just because we are probably going to get relegated. Whoop de do,relegation. The worlds ended, we're in a relegation fight. It's not perfect but nothing ever is.
All those who've asked/demanded Carol and Kevin sell up will now be rubbing their hands with glee.
Its their money, not ours, and they can do what they want with it .
Carol and Kevin aren't from Burslem but have done so much for us, but it's never good enough for some.
Some elements of our fan base are beyond embarrassing and their behaviour is appalling, directed towards decent people who have done nothing but try and support and progress our club and the wider area.
Someone on here posted she looked like a demented seal clapping the lads off on Saturday. Grow the fk up. Crocodile tears after Saturdays video, and this is mild compared to the abuse on other mediums. Hang your heads in shame.-
