Ex-Chairman's Statement

[Rampant Zebra]

Synectics have bid again for the club, and Smurf has turned it down.

 

I am sure the price will drop once we are a non league club.

[Shropshire_Valiant]

Nah.

 

Anyone who defended V2001 following the lies, deceit, and incompetence is already done in my book. No coming back from that.

 

Totally agree with that one although to be fair most of us did back them for the first 4 or 5 years as mentioned it was when people started to challenge them, things went wrong on the pitch and it was clear the model of a fan owned club wasn't working, that they got defensive and nasty and we saw them for what they really were!

I'd still like to think V2001 went into it with the right morals the problem was none of them had the money or business acumen to take the club anywhere but sideways and eventually backwards. I also think(Bratt mostly) got too cushty in his position and realised he was on to a good thing and wouldn't let go.

I do agree though anyone involved with that regime through the lies, deceit and incompetence should not be welcome at Vale Park in any official capacity, anyone who was still backing them at the end I'd question their sanity at the very least!

We also have to hope that any sale of Hugill or Smith doesn't go to Smurf,lets not forget he is still the owner of the club and can do what he wants,people need to realise this,i am sorry i just really cant trust him

 

My impression is that Smurf is utterly determined, if not obsessed, with getting his money back. So, though it would be painful in the short-term for any transfer receipts to go to Smurf, it might well get him off our back. With transfer monies pocketed, he might then accept a sensible offer from a decent local company willing to take us on. The problem with all this is of course the timing - we could be waiting a long time for this to happen, if it happens at all.

I cant believe so many have swallowed his errmmm so called apology,i keep reading it and to me all it says is,yea i dropped a bollock,sorry but you can all now **** off......

 

He will want all his money back so his done jack **** mmmmmmm what did he say,during his tenure he wont leave the club in a worse state than when he took over.....well again you lied,its all ******** from the man,wake up HE DOESN'T GIVE A ****,he has left us back where we were when he took over,oh and nearly 4m in debt to HIM and well and truly screwed with what looks like being a **** poor budget,still he saved us(the old excuse from the Bratt supporters)WAKE UP,GIVE YOURSELVES A WOBBLE.

 

Sorry rant over,i am still fuming

[philpvfc]

Why won't they make their interest in the club public?

 

Maybe because they are professional and don't tweet their intentions.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Reading this, how can anyone disagree that the fans have to take some of the blame.

 

Blame for what exactly?

[Bycarsbill]

Who is bankrolling us while he finds a buyer?

[werstayinup]

"One thing I didn't like was the statement: "Under normal circumstances that’s how I would be thinking today wanting to roll my sleeves up, plan and fund our way back to League 1 next season. Sadly, due the environment of the last few months, I do not feel that is now possible."

 

This, to me, is one last dig at the fans. Not needed."

 

He is right though. People have been very critical of him and most want him out. Most have got what they want.

 

No they haven't he still owns the club,he isn't stupid

[DIV3SOUTH]

Just don't believe his statement.

 

He's not a Vale fan and never has been.

 

God if he is loyal to the people he employs I can't imagine what he thinks loyalty is. How he treated his manager and his players last summer was disgusting and he even boasted about it.

 

Don't believe a word he says.

[werstayinup]

Can you sell a multi million turnover business on a bank holiday weekend?

 

Its been for sale for 18mths or more now

[DIV3SOUTH]

Its been for sale for 18mths or more now

 

That's because he's not trying very hard and doesn't really care.

[inner sanctum]

Well if nothing else all of this has put fire in our bellies again

it's not unusual for a vindictive departing senior executive/manager/owner to leave a parting gift of putting a right chump in charge or someone who will act in his (the departee's) interests rather than the interest of the organisation he is leaving behind; to screw them over, to make his time there look good, cos it suits his future planned relationship with his former business etc. Not saying that's what has happened here..just that it's not unusual for it to happen.

 

Good luck to Mr Fradley; I hope he is a huge success for PVFC cos the alternative is not worth contemplating

[werstayinup]

Didnt he say he would shoulder the cost of this experiment?? If we are in league two with a smaller budget than last season that doesn't sound like he has shouldered the costs at all.

Of course he hasn't,he has cocked up big time but really doesn't give a ****,its all lies all the time

[philpvfc]

That's because he's not trying very hard and doesn't really care.

 

Not really. He just doesn't see the true value of the club and is living in the clouds.
