Match Thread - Forest Green Rovers v Port Vale

[TylerB]

Even more so with no Montano in the side today, surely we have one of the slowest footballing sides ever to take to a professional football pitch?

[Hagrid]

He certainly ain’t to blame for this year. Decent budget, decent signings good squad. ***** manager who needs to go. We all know it’s his fault overall but can’t be blamed for aspin (remember everyone was desperate for him to become manager for some reason)

 

Decent budget in comparison to the 600k we make every 6 months? Added to the youth players we've sold, exclusivity payments, 8th highest attendance in the league, Grant and Alnwick money?

 

**** poor budget in the circumstances.

[fraggle]

How many managers have we had since Adams that have any Pedigree?

 

That’s the question we all should be asking ourselves - you get what you pay for, too many mistakes

[TylerB]

Be a 3-0 loss this will, if we're lucky. Aspin out.

[Shropshire_Valiant]

Who appointed Aspin? Page? Bruno? Brown?

 

Who has pocketed £2.4m since January 2017 yet we serve up this absolute embarrassing garbage?

 

WAKE UP!

 

Fully awake thanks! I don't think Aspin has had that bad a budget personally. I'm not a Smurthwaite fan by any means but the vast majority of the fanbase wanted Aspin, you can't blame him for that!

[valeparklife]

So are you saying Aspin is doing a good job?

 

Nope. I'm saying Norman is doing an atrocious job.

[vale@rocks]

When will people stop blaming managers and blame the man appointing them, not giving them the Hugill money, bringing in kit suppliers who can't give Popey a tracksuit, the man who gambled with the club's future and allowed us to pay the price for over 2 years, the man playing with his toy Nuneaton, the man who has overseen the lowest FL finish in Vale's history.

 

Sick of it. Stop being silly and get behind Turf out Smurf.

 

Time to go Norm.

 

Maybe because the managers do not appear to have too much ability.

[Hagrid]

We're absolutely minted compared to most clubs in this league.

 

We're not a tinpot club by tradition. We're a tinpot club by design.

 

Wake up. Norm out.

[TylerB]

Nope. I'm saying Norman is doing an atrocious job.

 

One of his worst decisions is appointing this plank in the first place. No other football league club would have, or will, go near Neil Aspin. What does that tell you?

I agree it could and should be miles better as you say but he ain’t the reason for the **** this season. We’ve signed well but have a clueless manager.

[valeparklife]

Decent budget? We've signed about 9 non league players!

 

I'm on the fence about Aspin, purely because if he was to leave, he would only be replaced by another cheap option.

It may be that he appointed Aspin as his second choice because John Askey turned us down.

Every fan on here wanted aspin.. everyone seemed delighted. Careful saying aspin out. Some plank will be on soon asking ‘who would we get in instead’. Sick of bothering with vale yet again and we’re what a month in. Depressing **** every season.

[Inny]

Nope. I'm saying Norman is doing an atrocious job.

That doesn't make Aspin free from critiscim. Both need to clear off to Nuneaton.

Not what I heard from someone very close at Macclesfield. Quite different actually.
