    This signing concerns me a little…..

    Probably play a winger at WB which means we are going back to trying to control the game and bore everyone to death over passing to get our WB’s high up the pitch.

     

    Told you all.  People on here never happy

    Surely Carol looks at this and thinks what the **** , doesn't take a football genius to realise this is a complete and utter joke. We've gone from what you'd assume is a process and you could tell perhaps the calibre of player we were after earlier in the regime I.e our play off promotion season to throwing sh** at the wall and hoping it sticks.

    There's no criteria to any of our signings and we've not only not addressed KEY signings I.e wingback and a striker but we've now AGAIN shown regression in other departments of our squad. 

    Ultimately here,  the blame falls on Flitcroft. But I also think Carol needs to be asking the question of how long can this carry on for for me the club needs a complete restructure in the playing and recruiting staff. Yet again feeding off the scraps that no other club seems to want.

    Nowhere near acceptable. 

    @Vale1995 says its AC's fault and he must go

    Hearing rumours that Williams is heading back to Liverpool due to his injury issues; don't know how true that is but just heared it.  Also hear there's some Polish lad from either Barnsley or Shef U who's coming in, a defender.  Again - only a rumour.

    We scored 3 goals v Charlton without Garrity. Others have to step up. Uche did score v Charlton, but I think Loft can step into that role if the big front man approach is retained. 

    Good post Warren - however, there is a problem here.  In the past Loft has been successful when he's been given the service into and around the box; right now we have no one delivering in that service.  Until we change how we deliver the ball in and play him in the danger zone - i.e. in and around the opposition penalty area and nowhere else, I fear it won't change.

    Entering the field of play is a criminal offence regardless the reasons why.

     

    See Robs answer, above, which I fully agree with.  No doubt you condemn all Vale fans for invading the pitch on the evening of the play-offs, and you want them prosecuted, too...??

    Yeah but it's where we finish at the end of the season what counts isn't it ,🙄 osh 

    Of course it is.  On THAT we can agree; sadly people like you (and several others on here) have got us confirmed as relegated already.

    I'd prefer to stay and fight if thats OK with you.

    Very measured post that is to be fair 

    Yes and no - prior to having all of our injury problems, one would assume that all the teams (although no one has listed all of the injured players for ALL of the other teams) didnt have injuries, too, and we WERE competing with them - at one point we were second.  We must have been doing something right, eh....??  Or have you conveniently forgotten that.

    It’s hard to say as you could say that for any side. Let’s say every other side has the same injuries and we had none, I think we would be mid table more or less yes. Clarke started well and is clearly our best wing back and Ojo is clearly our most influential player. But injuries happen to all sides and we just haven’t coped. 

    So why is it you couldnt say that in your previous post.  Its more balanced.

    I don't think we will get relegated, that's for sure...no matter where we are now.

    I feel we can compete against most clubs of our size in this League...but injuries haven't helped, all season - Uche even getting injured during the transfer window; nor have the various postponements we've had.  And losing Ollie and Alfie when they were supposed to be here all season! It's all disruptive and no wonder we've struggled!

    Your reply makes more sense than the "spending our money badly" one I first replied to!

    Post of the day.  Exactly how i feel; I like Hoppers post, too, but believe we have enough to be an EFL1 team and fight for our stay in this league.  Without the huge injuries we've had this season I still be lieve we'd be mid-table - I also think we'll end up mid-table at the end of the season.

    The subject of money is so touchy.

    It's always easier to have opinions on what others should do with their money, especially when they have lots of it. 
    We all have dreams of winning the lottery, but if one of us really did win, would our second or even third thought be to give Carol a ring for a bank account number to deposit 50m into? I somewhat highly doubt it...
    You mention the Coates. Even though they've chucked literally hundreds of millions of punds into that club, their fans still want more and think it's not enough. When is enough enough? They're buying players for amounts that could fund our club for seasons, and still it's only enough to just about compete at the level above.
    As I said elsewhere, I think the plan with bringing in Rob is for him to attract bigger sponsors and investors. Just like at AFC Hollywood. The owners there have chucked in cash, yes. But the biggest chunk of the cash, is from sponsors a club at that level usually could only dream of. United Airlines is their main sponsor. Why would an American airline that only function in the UK on a relatively small scale, want to sponsor a League 2 club with millions? Same with Tik Tok they had before. Not to mention the Amazon deal for their 'fly on the wall' thingy. Just take a look a their sponsors, and it's mainly big American brands.
    I think that's what the Vale are hoping Rob can help do for the Vale, amongst other things.
     

    Good post - love the second line and couldnt agree more.,

    Here's my take on the "Robbie" subject.

    My brother, also a huge Vale fan and, like me, supported Vale since a very young lad, were chatting in the pub before the Middlesborough game about what we'd do if we ever won the Euromillions (just checked last night's draw - nada!)

    We were both of the same opinion that, if we won £100m+ we'd keep £10-20m so that me/wife/family would never, ever want for anything and that we'd live a wonderful life.  We'd give several millions away to charitable causes that we support (we're both close to ex-military causes) and that we'd easily put £50m straight into Vale and, in doing so, want to keep this in partnership with Carol.  In my own personal view she has done a sterling job so far and i'd love her to be involved as the club progresses.

    Robbie has got far more money than that.  There's a great saying that you can take it with you.  So, of the $230-250m he's got - and I don't know how much of that is liquid assets that he could call on quickly but, lets say he could make $50m available.  If he made that available and chucked that into Vale to work alongside Carol, it would obviously make the world of difference.  He and his family would still be rich "beyond their wildest dreams" but he'd also change everything for us.

    What I wouldn't want is a former pop singer taking over the Vale and hoping to achieve what the guys at Wrexham have done without someone with a steady pair of shoes keeping a level-headed hand on the tiller.

    The above is just my personal thoughts; I have no idea what's in Robbie's head and how much he truly wants to be involved.  From the club statement, there are projects that Carol and Robbie have discussed, we can only hope that, if he is going to bring money in that it comes in sooner rather than later.

    Looking at the leagues:

    - In the Premier League you need muli-billionaires to afford to compete

    - In the Championship you need billionaires - people like Coates

    - In EFL1 you need multi-millionaires to just be in the league)

    Just my thoughts

    I like carol , I think she is great but I think it would be beneficial if she takes more control on the football side of things rather than put most of her efforts into social side of the things at the club , because flitcroft has got to much clout at the vale for my liking at the moment.

    Why would she do that if she has no knowledge or experience of doing it.  And, if she did that and cocked it up, it would just give people like you another stick to beat her with
