    It was a quote from Carol I believe, "we have spent 5 years money in four years" or something along those lines. It was from an official source and available on the internet at the time.

    I do remember the quote but it wasn't admission that the club had no money, the new pitch, new facilities and players is an indicator of that. I understand why Carol ignored the things that they have got wrong in the letter (Come on, she wasn't going to engage in that) she isn't going to lie about DF generating his salary many times over since he took on the role, money we probably wouldn't have with a manager in place.

    If you look at Crosby’s proper spell at vale and then Kennedy at macc, Kennedy has a higher ppg because of the draws. This also ignores the fact that Crosby’s wins were stacked right at the start, and after that we’ve been awful.

    This is true. I'm sure I read earlier that the owner of Lincoln confirmed he wasn't sacked because of results. Which you could also see as a bad thing too.

    We spent too much money on his watch in the promotion season which is why we had to appoint Crosby and couldn't recruit as many of the required players for the following seasons. That is down to him surely.

    Is that fact or speculation? As we have had a near rebuild of players since we were promoted. Garrity, Smith and Wilson are all that remain.

    EDIT: Adding Jones to that list who seemed to have been frozen out by Crosby.

    Pointless strawman to attack fans a little annoyed about only winning 3 games in 5 months. What are you hoping to achieve?

    Have fans only moaned about winning 3 games in 5 months?

    Yesterday I saw a Vale fan say after the open letter was released that Carol was "deffo in love with Flitcroft" and they were serious. What does that achieve?

    If true I just feel we needed experience & not another coach 

    Correct, if true. 

    I also would have liked to have seen us bring someone in with not only experience but a bit of success in and around League 1/2. The one ex player I would have wanted is Ainsworth because he has a promotion under his belt but he isn't available/interested clearly. The other appointments in the past of Foyle/Aspin etc always felt desperate but Ainsworth's experience is vast at this level. Ah well.

    I guess the other issue that has forced their hand is the availability of other coaches. They haven't got the time to wait even a day which means the pool is smaller.

    I'd take Dr Karl Kennedy if he could keep us up.

  6. I don't think Clarke was particularly nice within the game of football, I got the impression he could be difficult if things weren't going the right way. This isn't a bad thing as Crosby came across as too nice.

    I guess people do just want to moan about everything

    " We need a replacement fast"
    "Okay we've got one"
    "Not him!"

    I don`t want to see another of the heroes from the 90`s getting slagged off and then being sacked after struggling with a smallish budget. 

    Me neither, I suppose the difference with Ainsworth (can't decide if I think it would be a good appointment) is that he has had relative success with Wycombe and we desperately need that right now.

  8. Well, that was an interesting window.

    Disappointed again at the lack of a striker, I understand sometimes the timings of announcements is out of the club's control  but they know fans have been screaming for a striker for what feels like about 18 years, they should have at least ended the window with an announcement that a player is coming in rather than a player going out, but even Vale's admin had to check the McDermott transfer 5 times before sending it out on the socials.
