Match Thread - Port Vale v Shrewsbury Town

[osprey]

Bury and Vale from League 2

Bristol Rovers, Oxford, Sunderland and Portsmouth from League 1

Man City U21 from the Rich List

Peterborough and Chelsea U21 still to play.

 

We could play any of these as no North and South now

 

Rovers, Bury or Oxford probably easiest ?

Some of the money rolling into the club over the last eighteen months needs to be invested in a few more players of the required quality to see us challenging for promotion next year. Fans want (and deserve) to see better than we are seeing most weeks currently.

They only made 11 changes

The other 11 can't be much good, they didn't even beat Stoke.

[For Us All]

That's probably why they lost then and we pocketed £40,000.

What dust reckon? 😀

£20,000. You only get the £40k if you win outright. The clubs share it if there’s a draw and penalties I believe.

 

Edit: Just checked, the half and half for a draw only seems to apply in the group stages so £40k looks correct.

That would make sense in the group round but surely not the knockout stages?

[bookworm]

That's the bbc's holiday money salted away away away.

Don't be fooled, as all the media coverage tonight has been on Man City and Sunderland progressing. Lower league teams mentioned later in reporting. Mind you Sunderland are L1.

[Loggerheads Sage]

That makes it £110k and counting from this cup, plus Sunderland and Lincoln - say £200k plus Hugil maony. I'm expecting some players in the next 3 weeks! But then again.......

Did you include the £70k from BT Sports for the Sunderland game as well Sage?

[For Us All]

Don't think so,it's definitely 40K.

Bit perturbed at the people who seem to hold the belief that everything will come good if Aspin makes some signings of a good calibre.

 

Will new players stop the generally awful tactics, subs and decision making?

 

There's an argument that it will because he's hamstrung with the limitations of the current squad.

 

I think we all realistically know that that argument is delusional.

 

 

I like him as a bloke but I would be pleasantly surprised if we will challenge for the top 3 if he is here for the next few years. I don't think he has the vision and consistency. It's not for me to say if he ever will have those attributes in his managerial career but at this stage it all just feels a bit futile.
