Retained list?.

[Ben]

Quite a few not going to accept terms:yes:

 

The million dollar question from the man in the know Who is?

Quite a few not going to accept terms:yes:

 

The fewer the better as far as I'm concerned :)

[Burslem Academicals]

Quite a few not going to accept terms:yes:

 

Pope/Marshall/O'Connor/Veseli most likely but Williamson/Birchall/Yates along with Daniel shows that Page is building a League 2 squad in order to fight for survival in the football League following relegation next season......

Our great escape? We won one in the last 11!! I wouldn't call that a 'great escape'

 

The bigger picture is an end of season difference of 11 points between 7th and 18th positions:

 

7 Bradford City 65

8 Rochdale 63

9 Peterborough United 63

10 Fleetwood Town 63

11 Barnsley 62

12 Gillingham 62

13 Doncaster Rovers 61

14 Walsall 59

15 Oldham Athletic 57

16 Scunthorpe United 56

17 Coventry City 55

18 Port Vale 54

I remember Bruce Lee using that saying in a film.

I hope that's those who you would class as squad players and not our better ones

quite a few supporters wont accept terms either, a lot of dissatisfaction around at present with the retained list,pages contradictory statements,talk of a reduced budget,can't for the life of me see where any hope of a positive outlook is going to come from,something has got to remove that black cloud from vale park or next season will be a turgid slog into league 2.

You've had a black cloud around your head since January.

if your happy with the way things have panned out over the last 12 weeks or so then all I can say is that you must be easily pleased with pages decisions, the football on the pitch, the losses at home, the managers excuses and our disgraceful league position.well I'm not,and the majority of 777 postings say the same or similar.

I haven't said I am, but I think you should take time out from here as all you post is doom and gloom

Hi

I am not blaming the fans but were do l draw the line

i crave the success that you do

Having agreed 200k with MA it then went to 700k

Without that addition there would be no OConnor or Marshall and some not worth stating

l cannot keep spending hoping there will be a response

So this season will be different as stated

 

 

Hi Norman,

You have answered your own question. By investing the extra money you were able to bring Marshall and O'Connor to the club.

If you had not done that we would have been playing in the 4th Division next season.

 

Many posters on here believe that if we do not retain Pope, O'Connor and Marshall then ST sales will drop, which will reduce income, which will reduce the quality of player even more next time round.

 

You may be surprised to learn I have every faith in you because you know that to make Vale successful and protect your investment you have to retain the club's best players and bring in other players better than what we already have.

[andy jones]

Finally Norman,

 

A poster much earlier asked if you were looking for an investment partner and your reply was 'why would I' ...

 

To bring to the highest level of the club someone who has the skills that you do not possess.

I wish there were something positive to enthuse about but there isn't and it doesn't seem like there will be next season,same old same old and I still say page is deluded and with him as manager there's nothing positive to say.
