    This Mark Bonner?

    On 29 November 2023, Bonner was sacked with the club sitting in 18th position, four points above the relegation zone.[18] A 3–0 defeat to Lincoln City was the club's third defeat in a row, and they had picked up just one win in the previous thirteen league matches at the time of his departure.[19]

    That's him.A wonderful job he did, and I'm sure he could repeat it with, especially with better resources at Port Vale.

    Been wondering this afternoon if there is even the patience at the club to give him as long as he needs. Even taking into account seeing some improvements in the squad, let's say we are middling around mid table next January with inconsistent results, I am not sure the pressure will be off him because of his terrible record in game management and style of play especially at home. 

    For him to make it another 12 months, we are going to have to finish top half. Anybody's guess where we will be and I remain unconvinced Moore can do it. 

    Dread to think what the managerial shortlist looks like if things go bad in League 2. Suppose it will depend on who gets the first conversation with Carol. 

    Hopefully Mark Bonner.

    I really do hope I’m wrong, because I’m renewing my season ticket and don’t want to have to go through another season like this one, but if we leave it until he’s had a transfer window and lost a lot of games, I suspect it will be too late.

    Some people want him to be given the chance, some people want him gone. I fall in the latter camp. Like I say, I could be completely wrong and I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. 

    I agree with you, so you're probably wrong.

    Definitely not Darren’s fault.

    He is desperately unlucky and it is nothing to do with him whatsoever that he has presided over 5 wins in 39 matches. 
     

    He should not in any way, shape or form have any accountability for what is probably an unprecedented bad run in English football management. 
     

    It’s all the owners and Players fault. Poor Darren, I feel sorry for him.

    You're going down because your club are as puddled as ours and let Darren Moore be in charge of the football team.

  5. I really hoped there would be an affordable way we could get rid of Moore but it certainly seems like it's not going to happen from that statement.

    I would love for Port Vale to have someone like Mark Bonner in charge next season in League Two, having a right good go. Right now I can't help but feel that our future is bleaker than my own.

    I'm going to put it out there... would Crosby have kept us up?

    I think he probably would have. Things were far from great under him, but there's no way we lose 10 from 15 games with him in charge. We'd have scraped enough points to stop up based on the fact we still find ourselves only 3 points adrift. The fact we're not mathmatically relegated yet is astonishing. The bottom of this league is absolute garbage. 

    I agree. The extra nous that Crosby had compared to Moore, combined with fewer toys out of the pram and a bit more togetherness from the clowns on the pitch would have been enough.

    Since 1st January we played 14 games with Flitcroft in the building, got four points and kept one clean sheet. Since he left we have play four games, got seven points and kept three clean sheets. Is this a coincidence?

    Yes.
