Page/Grew/Glover OUT!!

Recommended Posts

Give some reasoning don't just make outrageous statements given Rob Page's record since he took over, agree with the first point but attempts have been made to rectify this eg Remi Streete. RP signed N'Guessan and he's contributed, majority of the players were signed when Adams was in charge.

 

Happy to.....

- lack of clean sheets (1 all season and that against a side who had there 3 best players missing)

- so slow and lacklustre when in possession, usually leading to us lumping it long. I guarantee that if you looked at the possession stats from our games in the majority of them we will be behind. Sooner or later this will start to hurt you.l

- Dany N'Guessan a winger? Do me a favour. And them compounding this by lumping it into the box for Williamson to win!

- Birchall for the injured Williamson??? This the only substition even when chasing the game with attacking options on the bench?? WTF!?! Even when we were winning the subs were getting boo'ed!!

- set plays....can't defend them or score from them!! Do we even practice beating the first man??

- campion....11 in 7 for the reserves, can't get a game. Nimely....good enough for Coventry and Bolton, but not us. Deen Conteh......good enough for Chelsea's CL squad at one time.....not good enough for us. Enoch whatever his name is.......good enough for Porto, but not Port Vale. Even Streete didn't get a look in for the 1st month, even when we were shipping goals for fun. Could get on Newcastle's bench though. And don't evenget me started on Byron Moore.

Tell me if I've missed anything.

Barnsley and Crewe Alexandra, you would expect a return of at least four points. This is relegation form. Amazing how the tide seems to have turned for the worst since Glover returned...who's next to return? Bratt?

 

You would but both have signed decent loan players who have actually improved the 1st team (as opposed to the reserves) are are having an impact - Ajose last week, Pearson today.

What a ridiculous thread, ok things not been good this last 2 weeks, but let's wait til the season end, before posting silly posts like this.

 

My concern about waiting until the end of the season is the very realistic prospect of being drawn into a relegation battle and the effect that will have on finances, gate receipts and more importantly, season ticket sales. Regardless of whether Page is retained, Grew and Glover must go. One is dangerous and clueless and the other has simply been here too long now and is not offering anything different. The whole setup needs refreshing.

Rubbish manager. Initially I wanted him in charge because I thought he'd be different and change it up a bit. However, Adams may as well of just stayed. His team selections are always below par and he clearly has his favourites. If anyone says we have changed our style of play too, you are lying, we have never been a possession based team. Finally, like people have said, he says the same thing every week in his interviews; 'the boys gave me everything' 'we went about the job in the right way' 'we were good for a point'. The only thing that has improved since Adams left is out position, but I'm 100% sure Adams would of kept us up anyway.

Crewe - conceded 49 goals, MK Dons put 5 past them today & Vale couldn't score against them.

 

Poor team Barnsley with poor defence. Vale lose again.

 

Vale lose to two very poor teams and earn 13 points out of a possible 30, (last ten games) Relegation form.

 

I fear a bottom 7 end to the season.

All the criticism now being aimed at Page was also thrown at Adams. For some reason we have some fickle fans at Vale who are never happy. Adams was heavily criticised, so much so that his family also came in for verbal abuse - and this was a manager who turned this club around, who gave us our pride back and got us promoted. Despite his success certain fans wanted Adams out and for Page to become the new messiah. Now apparently fans are saying that Page is a clone of his successful predecessor and he should also go!

 

My view is that Page should be given a chance, win lose or draw. I agree that Grew & Glover should go and that Page should appoint his own No2. Lets not forget that under the glorious Rudge era despite our many successes we did suffer a few relegations. However I think Rudge was a clever manager who changed his assistant on quite a few occasions when we were struggling as did Ferguson at United, which brought in new ideas & a fresh impetus.

 

Starting threads against Page is not the way forward. Lets judge him when it's his team, his backroom staff and at least a year of him making his own signings and his own decisions.

13 points from 10 games, would be 52 points from 40 games. Hardly relegation

My biggest worry with Page is that he obviously thinks our squad is good enough. He has been in charge at the Vale longer that Adams has been at Tranmere and look at how many players he has brought in.

 

Some people are saying wait until the end of the season when he brings in his own players but he has not brought anyone in to show the fans and the Chairman that he will be up to the task of shaking the squad up to enable us to mount a promotion challenge.

 

The Chairman thinks the squad is good enough,the Chairman has been signing players, do you think Page might be playing the game with his hands tied?
