    EFL Community Project of the Season - 2024

    Organisations don’t do this for nothing they’re handsomely rewarded financially by the government and local councils. Supermarkets off load goods because they’re going out of date and it means that they then don’t have to pay the cost of disposing of the food. I’m not sure if they also have an obligation to do this for tax reasons. 
    I have no problem with the supermarkets doing this, as my biggest frustration is seeing food going to waste. I don’t believe that anyone should have to go hungry, but we’re all responsible for our ourselves. 
    As a football club we are a rudderless ship, with no one at the helm, to guide us.

    I have been tempted on many occasions to comment on here but stopped you will all be please to learn Carol was seen at the awards evening on Sunday apparently looking gaunt and extremely emotional l suggest you read this post every time you want to plough into her she does not deserve any of the vile stuff being hurled at her

    If you feel that much compassion to Carol then compensate her by reimbursing her with some of the money you extracted from her, when you held a gun to the clubs head.?. This is our club nothing to do with you anymore. Go stick your nose into someone else’s business. Adios.

    Whats more worrying is he will own the club one day. Every conman and shyster will be on our doorstep wanting a slice of the pie and he'll fall for it. 

    Christ, he'd probably bring Flitcroft back.

    When, I think of Patrick. He reminds me of the character Mike Teevee, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. With his besotted mother.

    I heard that yesterday in valiant suite

    Rock, for me this closed season will reveal a lot, as to where we are as a football club going forward. I think we’ll know what sort of a season we’re going to have based solely on how much we have in the transfer funds. Not including the money we get for Garrity, possibly Chizzy and the young players. 
    On the bright side for me I’ll get back my seat that I’ve had for a number of years. I lost the seat due to ppl riding the promotion wave who purchased the seat as a ST.

    Can’t argue with that , I was musing on things . For me I like to keep Carol but she’s got a few decisions to make re the club and investments 

    I think if someone was to take over they’d have the decision of buying us on the way down, how far they let us fall would depend on what she would accept. Unfortunately for me she comes over as a very strong headed person, so will not sell at a loss. It’s for this reason that it will probably get a lot worse, before it gets better. PVFC cannot survive on gate receipts alone. This is where I think she’s done alright forming partnerships with agencies and the use of VP for other functions. I’d imagine the incomes from this department of business to be quite lucrative but to sustain a football club, I’m not so sure. VP needed a lot of money to be spent on it. The could say that this was a lack of due diligence but probably overlooked that fact, in the excitement of owning the football club she supports. In one way I’d say she’s spent too much money in the wrong areas, ie the exception being the RP toilets, an absolute disgrace. They’ve been out of service since the second home game of the season. I said some time ago I was concerned about the amount of money being spent on real estate, instead of the team. Real estate is more than likely unless there’s an economic downturn in real estate prices, that tend to occur, once a decade, to at least keep its price, unlike footballers. What is the interest of the person who paid for the scoreboard.?

    The vale need a unifying force one who can stop this self harm , advise Carol on football matters and produce the players with Moore. I don’t think a DOF is needed but a recruitment specialist is , for me it’s Foyle or Sproson . Both have excellent contacts throughout football, however. In addition some ex players need to be ambassadors with the fans , I suggest Legge and Pope . Money wise good knows if Carol can sink anymore in , so maybe Donaldson takes 49% —and they split funding. This is just  my ramblings , but my good something got to change both on and off the pitch 

    Rock, if anyone was coming in they’d quite rightly want at least 51%.

    Folks if you’re thinking of binning your ST or Membership, DON’T. I’ve used mine this week to fill some small holes in a wall with poly filler. The flexibility is absolutely superb and leaves a fantastic finish. Just needs rubbing down with sandpaper and painting over. Definitely the best use I’ve had from the card this season

    Think you will be disappointed mate. I firmly believe there are loads and loads of long standing fans that honestly have had enough. Find an alternative to waste your cash and time on. Enough is enough. Not a knee jerk reaction, just common sense coming to roost for a vast amount of Valiants.

    Membership Scheme. Will be the way quite a few will go. It’s annoying not going and losing, but it’s lot less painful than sitting there and witnessing the shambolic performance.

    Yes, I think that is key.  If our unwillingness to spend money cost us in January, it comes home to roost on lost revenue next season.  I'll be sorry to see those players go, but a goalscoring midfielder and a young England player will be ripe for picking off in summer by other clubs.  We need to capitalise on their worth and build a squad that is better balanced, has goal scoring potential, and is defensively cohesive. It won't come cheap, but maybe we change our pay structure and invest in better paid players, who get us into league 1 where crowd revenue will pay their wages? I mean, if not now, when?  Six more seasons in League 2 will be dire.  We need to bounce back quickly, and I think we can if we learn from this experience. 

    LL, TBH six seasons in L2 wouldn’t bother me providing we produced some good performances and weren’t annually involved in a relegation battle.

    I don't think that I had that exact foresight KS - I started the season thinking it would be interesting, because of the players we had signed and the way the manager wanted us to play.  I didn't think it would be a car crash from day one, and I've been supporting them since the late sixties - I've seen much worse teams from day one.  I think I assumed we would hang on to our loanees all season, and when that didn't happen, the alarm bells started ringing, especially after we signed no strikers in January.  

    It has indeed been a long and difficult season, and I completely get why people are struggling to be positive - I am too, but I hang on to hope.  And I know it's the hope that kills you, and I know survival is unlikely now.  It's just in my DNA as a Vale fan to stay positive in the hope that things will improve.  I'm assuming we will learn from our lessons and not make the same mistakes again - though getting 2 talented Premiership loanees seems less likely if we are a League 2 outfit. I would sooner we bought our own players and were less vulnerable to loanees being recalled from now on, and actually strengthen in the January windows.  Still can't get over the fact we had a whole month to get some firepower int the team and didn't.  I would hope Darren Moore will be proactive in getting in better players - if he is still around next January.

    LL, we’ll have to see if he gets money to bring in players. I think they’ll be financed by selling of Garrity, Dipepa and any other young talent.

    And yet roll back a few weeks to the number on this very forum, creaming over his appointment. Listen to it now. Why did they think that another 3 wins in 23 games manager would be just what we needed. So the cycle of Port Vale continues be the definition of mugging off and ineptitude. 

    OF, I think we were all desperate for a change and with DM’s experience thought that he might be our only chance to avoid the drop. That doesn’t mean ppl were happy with the other one still being in place, or a 5.5 yr contract.

    PVFC must be on the soft touch scammers list with those in the footballing world. I’m not a fan of the individual but I think it’s time we gave that lump of lard Evan’s a call.
