  1. DM is abysmal. He has no charisma, no leadership, no motivational ability and hasn't got any reaction at all from the players. He runs down the tunnel at full time and doesn't come out with his team to thank the fans for our support. Yes, this is now his team! He took the job. Its his job to get the best out of the players he has got. He's going to have two relegations on his CV in the one season. Having said that, he didn't appoint himself! From what I can see, he got Sheff Wed promoted because they had the best players in the league last season. They scraped through in the play offs. I'm not impressed at all. Another day goes by when Carol continues to bury her head in the sand.
  2. I might get a season ticket for the Bulls Head next season instead! 🍺
  3. Well said! Either sort this mess out by getting rid of DF, or get out of our club yourself! You (Carol) are sleepwalking into another relegation battle next season, one that these players and this manager won't win! We've had three abysmal transfer windows, we can't afford another one in the summer. If we do, we're doomed! Act now or sell to someone who will get a grip of things and stop the rot, bring stability and restore some pride and belief! It keeps getting worse and worse and worse!
  4. This is our club. We'll be here long after Catol has finished doing her work in the community and having barbecues with the phenomenal players, their knowledgeable wives and the genius that is our esteemed Director of Football. If Carol continues to Bury her head in the sand, back the conman and dismiss the views and concerns of the heart and soul of Port Vale Football Club, (us fans) then we'll either have to turn our back on the club or take positive action to force the necessary changes to save our club from non-league oblivion. I'm fuming after watching that inept, gutless, pathetic performance today. Only Ripley was worthy of the shirt and the pay packet. It keeps getting worse and worse. The most gutless person today was our manager who was off down the tunnel almost before the injury time board was held up and probably got home before most of us did!
  5. I'd be delighted with mediocre mid table football!
  6. Get David Flitcroft out of our club now or you won't have any fans next season!
  7. Woz was quality. Whoever only offered him one year was an absolute numpty!
  8. I think the BBC website is faulty tonight. It says 11 mins gone and we've not conceded!
  9. These players are phenomenal though!
  10. Reggie would walk into this current team, no contest! 😄
  11. It's very difficult to see owners who clearly care but who are not listening to the thousands of Port Vale supporters who can see the issue at the club. We've repeated the mistakes from January 2023 in January 2024. If we repeat the mistakes this summer that we made in the summer of 2023, we'll be on the brink of non league football this time next year. The "structure" in our club and the "process" are not working at all. The recruitment of players is shambolic. The current squad we have will finish bottom of L2 next season. Drastic changes are needed immediately to give us a chance of a summer recruitment to enable us to be League 2-ready come August. Season ticket holders are the foundation, the bedrock, the heart and the soul of Port Vale Football Club. Listen to us and act on what we can all see now, to help stop the free fall that we're currently in and give us a chance next season! UTV!
  12. Yeh, no, I listened to erm it erm too!
  13. I posted at the start of January about the transfer window. I was fearful that it would be another disaster but hopeful that I'd be wrong. It's the worst January ever, worse than when NS was the owner with his sweetie jar and he sold Grant. Relegation will be confirmed by Easter Monday I reckon. I remember feeling gutted at the end of last season when Woz applauded the fans in the Railway near the end of the game. He knew he wasn't going to get a decent contract offer and we knew he'd be difficult to replace. It makes my blood boil to see the awful players today that were recruited ahead of him. So when DF is feeling sorry for himself and getting sympathy from the owners about how "badly" he's being treated at the moment, what goes around comes around. Now do the decent thing and resign. Pope, club legend and absolute quality. DF got rid. Woz, best and most consistent player we've had for years. Only Kevin De Bruyne bettered his stats. DF offered him one year and Barrow bettered our offer. I can't be bothered to go on. Wake up Carol, if you keep backing him, you'll lose the most important people of all, the loyal season ticket holders.
  14. Ripley, Garrity and Ojo are the only players anywhere near L1 standard. Why has DM selected Grant and Massey today? Neither would get in a pub team tomorrow morning! Shrewsbury are the third worst team I've seen this season (behind Carlisle and us) and they won today without trying too hard at all. Our formation and tactics were baffling today. Against Shrewsbury, all we needed to do was play the ball into the space down the flanks, behind their full backs, and get in behind them. We did it a couple of times and they were so slow, we had 1 on 1 opportunities to score. Unfortunately, we wasted much of the game faffing around with it at the back and letting the Shrewsbury defenders relax in the sunshine, especially during the first half. Clearly DFs plan of getting DM in as soon as he became available (having been sacked by Huddersfield for 3 wins in 20-odd games) so he could bring Dwight Gayle with him (scuppered by Derby offering him more than we could) has fallen completely flat and not had the effect that everyone was hoping for. I really dislike the fact that DM is the first person off down the tunnel on the final whistle. I've not got much respect for that. I've not got any respect for the way that AC was treated. I've not got any respect for the majority of players who got AC the sack. I've got zero respect for the person responsible for recruitment, the person who got rid of Woz, Harrison, Benning, Conlon, and brought in Grant, Massey, Loft, Sang. Time to plan for next season in L2. If we don't change the person in charge of recruitment, we'll be in a relegation battle again this time next year. I have a lot of respect for Carol and Kevin for saving our great club from NS and certain oblivion. I implore the Shanahans to get rid of any charlatans within the current structure of the club, and do it quickly and decisively, so we can put the previous three abysmal transfer windows behind us and start building again for progress. Our fan base is not big enough for us to be wasting money on pipe dreams and nonsense ideas. We need a motivational manager who can bring the right kind of "characters" into our football team to create a team that we can all be proud of.
  15. A good, loud chant of... You'll never beat The Vale! ...will upset them more than anything else!
  16. We need to erm play the erm perfect game. We've beaten ourselves today. The only team beating Port Vale at the moment are Port Vale. We need to erm play the erm perfect game. Flickers says we'll be ok. The players are phenomenal. This is not Port Vale. Flickers works so hard. Little old Port Vale have got Darren Moore! We've been in total control today, apart from the erm goals that we've erm conceded. We were close to signing a striker in January! We almost signed one! We've been chasing Ryan Loft for some time. He's phenomenal! He's signed for little old Port Vale. His missus says he's phenomenal! One of the players wives upstairs says we'll be ok. I know we're going to be ok. Don't ask me how I know, I just know. Flickers says it too. I'm not even contemplating relegation. We'll be ok. We've had a good January. 7 out, 5 kids in. (3 now injured) We've almost played the perfect game today. We were in total control for long periods. We've defended well for most of the game. It's just those bizarre moments when we've conceded the goals. Next week is a big game. We need to play the perfect game. If we can play the perfect game, we'll stop the rot and start climbing the league and get ourselves in a better position up the league table. It's about playing the perfect game. Next week we'll play the perfect game and find a way to win, by playing the erm perfect erm game.
  17. I fear for Saturday at Derby. They could well hit double figures against us! 🙈
  18. 4 out of 23 good. Awful record of signings over 13 months and three windows, although slightly better than our win ratio! DF Get out of our club!
  19. My analysis of that match: Lincoln bang average L1 team. Looked a boring 0 0 draw type of game with very little quality from either team. They looked more organised than us, harder working, sharper, faster, stronger, clearly wanted it more than us all over the pitch. (without being remotely impressive in any way) NS, probably the most ridiculous, inept moment I've ever seen from a Port Vale player in the 40 odd years that I've been going. We're cast adrift now in the relegation zone and need to win our "games in hand" just to stay in touch with the other teams. Ripley, Ojo and Garrity are currently our only players capable of playing at this level. Positives: I can't think of any this morning. I'll be surprised if we score again this season, let alone win a match! Down to CS now to focus on repairing the damage that her Open Letter has done in order to convince ST holders to renew come May. UTV!
  20. This is extremely worrying! 🙈 Smacks of someone who has lost the plot. I don't doubt that Carol cares, but she's putting blind faith in a charlatan. We need to be planning for a promotion campaign next season to get back up from L2, where we're undoubtedly heading. Fleetwood on Tuesday is probably our last chance to stop the rot before its too late, otherwise we're certainties for relegation. Recruitment needs to be done by the manager of the football team. We don't need, and can't afford, a DOF. I hope her words are correct, that DM needs three games to assess, and his impact starts on Tuesday. Sadly, I'm not convinced. Hope I'm wrong!
  21. Fans can see the issues in our club. It's gutting that Carol (no doubt trying to show leadership) put out her patronising Open Letter that has infuriated many supporters. Carol, please don't Bury your head in the sand. Wake up and see what supporters can see and do something about it! We need a united fan base for the future prospects of our club!
  22. We do belong at this level with the attendances (up until Christmas) and the levels of investment in the club. Sadly, someone somewhere has wasted a lot of money on things that don't matter to the proper supporters of the club or, indeed, any League 1 club. For example, there was a player interview on Radio Sjoke tonight (possibly CR) and he was talking about how the club Scientists and Dieticians would now come into their own for the final run-in, as they will tell the players what to eat and how to rest! 🙉 The corporate facilities are very good, but the proper fans have to piss in a portaloo!
