(OVF) Smurthwaite “can’t keep throwing money” at Port Vale

Then surely you must take some responsibility for employing this ***** so he could waste the clubs money on sub standard footballers. His record over the last 19 is one of the worst in the country, yet other managers are losing their jobs. Surely you are as feed up as we are at the lack of wins and the failure to score mainly away from home.

 

I look forward to your response.

 

 

Fleetwood 1 Vale 2, so cod off.... Response provided, and with a semi-crocked keeper and an injury to a key defender. Time to stop the Page witch-hunt and let the man do his job.

As Nowag says do we really need such a bulky sized squad. I have noted with interest that our squad size is larger than both Wigan or Millwall. Surely a leaner but meaner squad would pay greater dividends all round.

 

This is pretty much spot on. The retained list was somewhat surprising and keeping so many that offer so little still seems like a bad idea. Put it this way. IF we had let go, for example, Yates and Birchall, we maybe could have kept Pope! Given that neither Yates or Birchall look like making any meaningful impact id have sooner had Pope stay. This is just an example before people jump down my throat. I could have been 2, 3 or 4 players gone so that Pope could stay or freed up money for a new forward. Also, I realize the AY and CB have both been loyal to the club and all that but offering them deals in the summer just seemed questionable.

I am sure that the management have been trying to offload some of the playing staff but let's face it, other clubs would probably only take them if we paid all their wages, which would be pointless. I am surprised that no has come in for McGivern as he would do a job for most second division clubs and didn't Birchall say he signed for less money even though other clubs wanted him, so have none of them tried to take him on loan? Any money saved could be put to good use on avery much needed striker or we will finish in the bottom 7.
