Retained list

[TylerB]

Putting my optimistic head on for a moment we'll have Andoh back next season which is already like having a new player. Foley and Grant in the middle of the park is fine, should O'Connor leave, and the likes of Alnwick, Kelly and Hooper should be better with having a full season behind them and also a pre-season with the club.

 

We desperately need a couple of defenders and a goal-scorer. Most of us know this and I'm certain that Page does too.

Someone pointed out that Smurf has suddenly started following Nigel Adkins on twitter mmmm

 

I think Smurf like to play games. Remember when we were set to unveil a striker a few months ago and he started to follow Adam Rooney? We ended up signing someone else from Scotland but it was Theo :)

Give it a rest, it's getting tedious now.

 

so are the plaudits.

[butt lane vale fan]

For them wanting Pages head, just remember the grass isn't always greener and be careful what you wish for. I'm sure Smurf would love a go, or perhaps we could get rid of every single youth prospect and get Adams back.

[Samwelo]

I for one want Page to stay. He's not adored like Adams was. But I think over time he will be. The fact that other clubs are interested says a lot.

I think we shouldn't be putting too much faith in Andoh coming back the same as he was just yet. Pagey has talked about Oct being when he is due back, but whats to say hes going to hit the ground running straight away. It may take some time, after all its a really serious injury hes coming back from.

But you still need them to come , don't you? Call them what you will , for the club to have a reasonable budget YOU NEED THEM.

 

Not really. Who wants "fans" who don't want to watch decent football. We have a base of 4500-5000 fans. Until we get promoted that won't change .

Are you expecting 4,000-4,5000 STs to be sold?

Those happy that that Page might leave should be careful what they wish for.

Rob Page is going to be a successful manager and I just hope he stays around to be successful with us.

 

We feel like a stable club with him at the helm because he is a stable and intelligent guy.

 

The vast majority of the supporters (those who actually attend) seem to be behind him and are aware of the difficult situations he's sometimes placed in.

I hope page is a great success and I hope he achieves that success at Vale.

Because I dont agree with perhaps what he does or how he does it doesnt mean I want him gone.

[onestepatatime]

I am one of the previously sceptical about Page fans. I have accepted over the last season that he still makes mistakes (what manager doesn't?) and he infuriates /frustrates us from time to time with certain tactics and player selections. However he has given us a very good solid base to work on and I for one am able to swallow my pride and say yes I would prefer him to stay here and continue the progress he's been able to give us.

 

I probably will still lambast him from time to time but don't we all do that in any case with players, club and management? We will see in the coming season if he has indeed learnt from his mistakes and is able to appease MOST Vale fans!

Wouldn't say its MOST.

I've never heard a "Page out" song at a match- it's just the keyboard warriors, giving it the big 'un from behind a screen

[geosname]

Looking at it holistically he is probably the only stabalising factor at the club at the moment, everything else seems fractured and disheveled.

That doesnt mean we should open the door and give him a carrot bookworm
