Rampant Zebra

I expect it is saving Synectics some tax though so the net cost is less.

I think it is easy to say that it is Carols money and we have to keep Carol onside but if the football is continually dreadful people won't go to watch. Plenty of businesses have failed due to the management not understanding the customer. I have been watching Vale for over 20 years but I am wondering about giving it up. Leyton Orient showed how football should be played, with a team of players who knew how to play for each other and wanted to score goals. We are neither entertaining to watch nor successful.

It hasn't hindered Wilson

The sad thing is that we don't really seem to have got best value from any of the infrastructure "improvements".

Do you work for the club? Friend of Lancy Tonys maybe?

The former manager was part of the problem. I don't just keep saying it because I don't like him as a person, I haven't met him to judge. He has history of blaming everything else when results go wrong for him and trying to spend his way out of it sometimes with farcical suggestions such as switching ends for the home fans. What a waste of money that was. That is what happened at Bristol Rovers, he kept asking for more until there was nothing left, he was doing the same at Walsall and is now doing it at Cheltenham. He basically wants everyone around him to say how wonderful he is and gets rid of anyone who dares to challenge it. He has no ability to manage difficult players, unfortunately they are the passionate ones who sometimes have that wonderful ability to excite crowds and do unbelievably good things on the pitch.

Sounds better than "we are just winging it really" 🙂

No idea, I can't either... 😁

Some of us haven't voted yet, that will reduce the 17%

I think it is a shame that Carol obviously didn't do any due diligence before giving him a job that he didn't apply for. A 5 minute Google search would have told her all she needed to know. Flitcroft out for me!

Don't forget to take some tennis balls if you go 🙂

Lets hope our Barnsley hard man has recovered from his shoulder surgery.

He used to score goals, didn't do much for FGR.

No point in me doing that! 🙂

Very well put, we seem to have overspent the budget to create an unbalanced squad of injury prone players and youth.

Rhys Walters, isn't he still with us? We still seem a bit threadbare though...

0-1 would be fine since we are away! 🙂

AFC Wimbledon Pursue Deal for Former League One Defender - The Real EFL THEREALEFL.CO.UK Might be more his level

maybe but I think it was heartfelt... 🙂

Loft is nothing like as bad as people make out, he scored goals at this level last season. Plus, he is our player so we either support him or shoot ourselves in the foot to prove our own point.

Thanks to Reading for stopping us from taking the 3 points from them. We looked really rusty due to lack of games and the changes to personnel. Wilson has obviously changed his mind about wanting to be a footballer during his time off.

You are right about Gore I think, with the added disadvantage that as an overpaid Manchester United player he is probably a target for every defender in the league.

I wouldn't bet on it...

What is stopping him then? Money? Or can't they find a pen...

Do we still have the Richard Head test? I thought that was just the former managers thing, which really meant anyone who didn't think he was the best manager ever and dared to question him.
