Another poor Smurf decision


Iron Curtain

Recommended Posts

Advert

Let's have a calm conversation about the club we both love. No need to get angry.

 

Do you think Mr Smurthwaite is doing a good job? Do you think he is the right man to take us forward?

 

I am far from angry, I don't see an alternative at the moment, I sat personally with Norman before the season started and his passion to deliver Championship football was unbelievable, I also know what wage budget he told me he would spend and I believe he has spent that and more, I look back to V2001 they owed money to everyman and his dog, the only debt vale have is to the man who single handled owns the club! Has Norman made mistakes ? Yes. Did Bill Bell make mistakes ? Yes. Was v2001 a mistake ? Yes.

If only he has harnessed that passion appropriately. I have always said that I respect the man for having a go.

 

Unfortunately he has no idea what he is doing. My argument is that he has made bad decision after bad decision. I fear for the vale if we go down that that man has to decide on the manager and the turnaround plan.

 

Nothing more, nothing personal. I have never met the bloke. He could be lovely. But he isn't a very good chairman and I wish he wasn't chairman of port vale football club.

What in your view is a good chairman of Port Vale ? Bill Bell? Bill Bratt? Peter Miller? Mike Lloyd ?

His passion to deliver Championship football was naieve

 

Its his fault he blew his budget on more naieve decision making with the agent of his choice.

Can't argue with his passion that he had but at the end of the day he is a clueless arrogant half wit who is way out of his depth running a football club. He should retire and count himself lucky he dealt in property during the boom years.
