1.3 million of the 2.4million still to come.We need players now but we will need to wait.

 

😂😂😂😂 wait as long as you want... you won’t see any of it! Fool!

[For Us All]

Bad day at the office for us but we've had worse results at home and come through it.

Keep the faith.

Are you saying that the club will get 1.1 million............ Dream on.

[onestepatatime]

Becoming increasingly difficult, that mate. There's only a certain amount of Shyite and mysterious selections and tactics that you can ask fans to endure week in, week out.

No....

[Inny]

Was anyone actually surprised about the result today when looking at the team selection? Different week, same lack of direction and progress. Knee jerk reactions create one bad performance after another. The club is a shadow of its former self.

[Rampant Zebra]

Brown,Legge,Conlon,Hannant,Clark,Whitfield,Miller and potentially Kanu wouldn’t look out of place in most League 2 sides.Those all played today.

 

Conlon who was training with us because he didn't have a club, Whitfield who was released by Bournemouth, Legge who was released by Cambridge, Miller who was unloaded by Peterborough.

[MBE]

Unfortunately MBE,our best 11 is not available at the moment.

 

You're right but we have a squad of players who should be set-up to play in the right position motivated to compete.

[MBE]

How has he had money to spend? We've signed players who have spent the majority of their career outside the football league.

 

We have received an extra £2.4m into the club since January 2017. Is this reflected on the pitch?

 

An owner determined to progress us and make us competitive would have speculated some of it to accumulate. Get good players onto the pitch with a good manager and everything takes care of itself.

 

The players we signed outside of the Football league have been the decision of the manager to take the chance on them.

 

Its not about paying transfer fees but wages which is where money has been spent. Brown, Legge, Miller, have not come to us playing for pittance.

 

Decisions on players have not come down to Smurf - this has been the job of Rudgie and Aspo.

 

I don't disagree with your point about "missing" money but one things for sure Also was given a good budget to work with at this level and we should be competitive- thats my point.

 

The reason the team has not been competitive is not Smurfs fault.

[Port Vale Paul]

Unfortunately even our best eleven is made up of players who are cheap and no-one else wants...

As well now a 1st team coach on the cheap doubling up as player coach

[PVTony]

At the fans meeting in March Smurf said,'Don't pick at the players and management, pick at me'

 

We are doing. You won't speculate to accummulate!

[Jacko51]

I have no idea why Norman is involving himself so much at Nuneaton - as shown by his recent statement. Vale no longer seem to be his priority. Why he doesn't just sell us and concentrate on the club he seems to be spending all his time dealing with is a mystery.

[Saphenous]

I'm sure the retail of pies and pints on match days doesn't pay for the running costs of the club, income from sales and selling on fees will part fund the day to day costs....having said that there's enough manure on the pitch for the turf to not need any maintenance.

He ruled out selling up anytime soon when he said preseason he didn't envisage a sale. He also said he's ''numb'' to us now, which is surely his clumsy way of saying he doesn't care any more.

 

He wanted and expected fawning gratitude from fans, and is bemused we think for ourselves.

 

We're stuck with this arrogant plonker unfortunately.
