    totally with you on this. play the kids last game hardly any of the first team deserve to be given a good send off on the last day. personally i dont want to see any of that lot next year. start again. clear out. retained list as small as possible announced as quickly as possible and the first thing we need to do is sign a GOOD striker in the summer before ANYTHING else.

    Yes agreed. Make some quick decisive desicions now. Show that they have learned their lessons and give us an idea of their intent. I will be worried if they intend to keep more than 10 of the current squad. The rest should be released and or transfer listed. 

  2. Open letter to Carol…

    Sort this <ovf censored> show out. Give us back some pride! 
     

    Signed, 

    Every Port Vale fan past and present. 
     

    PS tell Darren to release his retained list this week! Let’s get going rather than farting around!

  3. The statement “we got promoted earlier than planned” is the one that gets missed for me. Shouldn’t we be planning for that every year otherwise what’s the point. Also for me proves what we have all witnessed over the last 2 seasons in league one in a scaling back of investment in the first team. The bit that actually matters. Worry is that they all had a plan and didn’t deviate when things were going wrong…. Twice! Each year we have heard we will learn from these mistakes. But then they made the same ones again. Yesterday is on everyone at the club. Fans and to an extent the players have been completely let down and hung out to dry by trying to penny pinch on the one thing that actually matters. It’s going to cost mega now to put right over a number of years because of the stupid contracts we hand out.

  4. Hope to god this lot all have relegation clauses inserted in their contracts! That would be a real kick in the c0ck if not! 
     

    I dont want to throw abuse at Carol. Takes a lot to run a football club and for all those moaning put your money up and do it if you know better. What we should all do now however is write our very own open letters to our chair explaining how down right shameful it was and has been for the past 18 months to ignore the fans and the football on show.

    Yes I agree about Ojo this last 2 months for some reason he doesn’t seem to want to play for Moore.

    However at the start of the season rumours were Bolton were interested but he accepted Vale’s 3 year deal.

    I don’t think he will be at Vale next season no matter what.

    Personally hope he’s not. Been gash for the most part. Had a good spell with arblaster and Devine. But the guys a sulker of the highest level. Him and Massey along with others have pinched a wage for the most part of their vale careers so far imo.

  6. These lads have let us down this season big time. If that’s cause they ain’t good enough or they haven’t wanted to play for certain people only they know but the last two games have given us a bit of hope and, for me, a bit of pride. What will be will be now and the end of the season is the time to analyse it thoroughly but if the lads are going to play like that for the remaining games then they deserve our full backing. Who knows they may just about get us over the line with that level of effort. UTV!!!!

  7. Could burton be the turning point again… strange how football works but there is hoping and praying with everything crossed that we can somehow find something from somewhere for the last few games. At least yesterday gives us a glimmer of hope…but that’s what kills you as the saying goes. 

  8. Genuinely can’t believe anyone keeps anyone from this squad except garrity and Smith. Can’t wait see the back of the rest of them. 
     

    Smith arguably only stays cause he has credit in the bank. He’s had an absolutely horrific season. 

  9. Staying up would be a miracle. We need 2 wins just to go level on points with those above us. We can’t get one win even against those around us! To stay up we probably need 6-7 wins…not happening. We will finish 2nd bottom as Fleetwood will make a fight of it. Would love to get out of it but our lot can’t stomach the fight. Our “be nice” profile has bitten us on the arse.

  10. I’m not one for this kind of thing usually but I’m that peed off at the minute that renewing my season ticket would feel like treason. The situation we are in for me NEVER happens when you are as well run as we are told we are. Let’s not forget we have been in this situation ever since flicroft came. Even the promotion season we ended up without strikers! For me we should put the money to one side and only renew when change is made. Someone needs to be held accountable for what we are currently being asked to suffer. 

    Joke does not describe it.

  11. My bet would still be Troy Deeney. Been around the block, bit of a prickly character on the pitch and puts himself about. Got 4 goals for Forrest green so better than any of our current lot and must be fairly fit. Let’s face it, it’s stick or twist time and there isn’t much in the pack.  
     

    Deeney is exactly the type we need atm, a fighter. Moore has to ruffle a few feathers and hope he gets a response.

  12. Like the letter and respect what is said. Big respect for Carol for communicating too, she doesn’t have too.  

    There is one simple solution though and one statement that will mend some of the issues we currently face. Appoint a strong manager. Someone who will get an extra 20-30% out of players. But most importantly someone who will challenge DF. Do that and I think you win back some of the respect. Appoint what will be deemed another Crosby yes man and I really do fear for us. 
     

    Just because we have a DOF shouldn’t mean that we appoint someone that won’t challenge all things football and be banging down DF’s door when things aren’t going right demanding better. Have to create that environment where everyone challenges everyone to be better which I don’t think we have currently in the club from first team right the way through. We hear it so often how nice we are. Well we don’t want to be nice and equally we don’t want to be horrible but we have ri be competitive and I think that lies somewhere between the two. We had it in abundance when we got promoted and coincidentally it only seemed to wain once Clarke began to become withdrawn while dealing with some truly horrific circumstances that no farther should ever have to deal with. We will never know but I’m not having that a fully focused Clarke would have allowed DF off so lightly as Crosby may have done. 
     
    So come on vale grow some for a change and restore some pride!
