    If we get relegated I think Port Vale can bounce back with promotion. We have seen in cup games that the current squad can compete with the top teams there. So with some rebalancing we should be challenging. 

    Looking at our remaining L1 fixtures we face a big challenge given the difficulty of the away games. I see the Bristol Rovers game as must win if we are to mount a successful climb back up to the top of the cliff and not quickly fall into the drink. 

    When we are relegated  and we will be we will finish next season in the bottom half of league 2 but at least we might win community club of the year for division 2

    I'm not entirely sure she has. I reckon he's been wanting to call it a day for about a month now but she's backed him & asked him to stay on & see it through. He's finally made the decision for her & they've agreed to call it "mutual". Either way he's gone. Let's see what happens next.

    Nothing will change if the budgets <ovf censored> nothing will change until she sells up and her ego won’t let her even if it’s for the     benefit of the club

    Let's not go crazy.

    He's done okay.

    17 years old though and we're expecting him to save us from relegation? Very poor from the club.

    Would be nice if we could now sell him for a couple of million to fund a L2 title push (plus Carol adding in more to pay for her mistakes).

    If we did get a few bob for him it won’t go on the team budget

  4. Not defending Flitcroft but if they do get rid of him who ever comes in will have to work under the same financial restrictions and for that you have to blame Carol  she’s done nothing while we nose dived down the league

    Listened to Moores press conference.

    He says the players have come to blows. In as many words anyway. As he says people had to step in and it shows they care. Now is that because they care or is that dressing room fractured? 
    Im looking at leaders and good characters and don’t see many. Conlon and Pett lifted that play off trophy. Now I see a half arsed Ojo and Smith. Garrity is the only real leader I see. Certainly on the pitch. So prove us wrong.

    Another thing I took from it was that he said they’ve taken a step back from what matters and that’s fight and passion. Now, I’ll say that this is because of the philosophy thrown upon these players by the DOF and Crosby. 
    I said it after Middlesbrough. It was pathetic. Pass, pass, pass, tippy tappy crap. We’ve done it all season. We don’t make a <ovf censored> tackle. So hopefully we’ll see some blood and thunder from now to the end of the season.

    His “war cry” to the fans was really good. I like how he’s trying to create a bond. I like the fact he acknowledges the superb support all season. All of that can only be a good thing.

    And after all of that we get to the young lads. 
    And I’m just rolling my eyes. 
    It’s almost convincing the fans that they are world beaters and deserve to be there!! 
    It’s like a script from Carol and David! 
    Im sorry Darren but not one of them are good enough right now and shouldn’t be in this dog fight. 
    And therein lies the problem. Because some of them are keeping senior players out of the team. And make no mistake those senior players aren’t good enough either! 
     

    But. That being said. Fresh start on Saturday. He’s had a full week on the training pitch. So let’s see who is up for the fight and who isn’t.

    A win gives us hope. 
    A draw will be deflating. 
    A defeat and you may as well turn off the lights.

    It really is last chance saloon. 

    Brilliant post ST

    Wow, this is getting beyond paranoia now. HE IS A LOWER DIVISION CENTRE HALF. Giving penalties away is part of the job description. Are you delighted with James Wilson and Ethan Chislett because they never concede penalties.

     Are you saying you will pack in going if the Vale are relegated? . If so that is a statement of its own

    He’s also a professional footballer who gets well paid

    Genuinely I think that everyone within the club, especially Carol, got carried away after promotion and the ludicrous amounts of positive press she received. She believed her own hype. OBE, award-winning darling of football.

    Dissent was removed from the club. Fans, and their opinions, were shut out and resented. Flitcroft was deified in her eyes. They could do no wrong and they were going to inexorably build to the Championship and everything would continue to go well as they’re all brilliant. Anyone with any doubts could leave. The letter is a microcosm - we are right, you don’t get it. We are brilliant. She imposed a model onto the club that the fans didn’t want or need. 

    A sad, cautionary tale about ego, arrogance, and humility. A classic tragedy - the rise, the hubris, the fall.

    League 1 status was never a given. It needed sensible hard-work, constantly reflecting and improving. The nuts and bolts needed to be secure. There should have been zero talk of the Championship, of daft infrastructure, until a really solid, reliable League 1 core had been assembled. Carol thought she’d cracked football, had solved it. Look how great she was doing! 

    We will go down, and right now Carol is in the denial stage of delusion. Her speech last night showed the first cracks appearing. The penny is dropping, far too late, and she’s trying to convince herself based on chats with the family of the new coaches. It’s desperation. 

    I still think she’s a well-intentioned, naive woman who got far too full of herself and Flitcroft as DC delivered on the pitch. She equated DC and AC’s excellent management with something a lot bigger. She genuinely trusted Flitcroft to sort everything out, and has become way too dependent on him. She’s made mistakes the same way all of us have in work. 

    I sincerely hope this summer is a reflective period for her. Take some time away. Go to Supporters Club meetings and listen to Dicko and Porter. Get some critical, cynical, experienced figures in the club. Reorient the finances to focus heavily on the first-team budget. She can still salvage a positive legacy, but she has squandered the legendary status she was assured in June 2022.

    We’re can you listen to her speech

    If we cut out the errors and get our best players on the ball in the right areas (Chislett trying to dribble into their box not out of ours!) we can win and regain confidence. 

    Love your optimism but in reality that ain’t going to happen 3 wins in 25 we’re feckin <ovf censored>

    This is not a criticism of Auntie Carol in the slightest, however, when we are throwing mud at David Flitcroft and his lack of signings, when all said and done, we dont actually know what, if any budget he had available.

    There is the scenario in an alternate universe where that DF is actually the non-fall guy for Carol, taking the majority of the flak when equally he has his own hands tied with a lack of funds.

    Who knows, but out of all the scenarios put out there, I dont think this is that far fetched.

    All I know is that if words were to come out of the club saying that we are skint, fans would be far more forgiving and a lot of those now not attending would probs come back into the fold

    You’ve hit the nail on the head there , that’s why carol has defended Flitcroft because she knows the restraints he’s working under here is £300 go get me a decent motor

    I'll renew mine. Football is my release. Vale are my club. I've no interest in removing Carol from the club and she isn't monetarily profiting from the club, so withholding funds will only hurt the club and the team further.

    I held money from Smurthwaite and MOLD, but this is a completely different battle imo.

    I won’t be renewing mine and the wife’s had 2 for the last 10 years bit disillusioned with

    the whole thing 

  11.  Carol is the only one to blame all the good work of getting promoted and all the optimism has gone she’s no different from the rest of the owners ( apaart from smurfwait) and won’t spend on the main thing the players  had  two season tickets for me and the wife for the last 5 years but feck it won’t be having 2 for next season totally fecking pissed off tonight
