Smurthwaite's excuses

[Erniemossrules]

Assuming that he is planning to stay away as you say.Then why pay out for an extra 40 stewards?

 

Is he really that clueless?The protest is against him no one else just him.

In which case ever likely the club is losing £80k a month (his claim) with such inept unnecessary spending.

 

Is it my imagination or have a lot of the big beefy stewards been replaced by young kids?

Another cost cutting exercise where he can pay peanuts and get away with saying he has the correct number of stewards to cut police numbers.

Are they on work experience?

Did he attend on Saturday, he wasn’t noticeable in his usual seat?

Apparently was hid in a box the whole game

Thanks. I’m surprised he attended, even more so he if he hid away, none of that makes any sense.

He was there and he was behind the glass doors of his box at the top next to the gantry and tv cameras.

 

Where do you sit by the way?

 

I watched him all game and he was walking around the box and watching the game now and again hiding away.

 

Why does he feel the need to hide away do you think?

Nothing makes any sense of anything concerning Smurthwaite!

I’m told his wife and daughter did not attend. It is sad that people assume Vale fans are not capable of protesting peacefully. Well done to those on Saturday who showed we most certainly are.

Railway Stand so I can only make out his figure.

 

I’d imagine he’s been advised to keep a low profile because of the protests but probably more so because of the abuse on social media.

 

The protest past peacefully which is of great credit to those that support it and those that don’t but we do have some undesirables that attach themselves to the club so I’d imagine he’s staying away. I’m surprised he attended.

Has he gone yet

This isn’t going away now so is he going stay away forever? I cannot see why he still wants to be here?

Suppose it would be awkward for his wife if she bumped into the young lady who he’s been having it Away with allegedly;)

[PVFC123]

Nobody believes anything he says I’ve defended him in the past, but you can see he’s quantity over quality on players, catering is shocking, I would say the worst in the league and he’s getting no more money out off me and just go away games.

If I had to guess it’s either one of two things;

A. Ego and the prestige of owning a club - there must be some of that in most if not all owners.

B. The opportunity to sell for the price he wants long term.

 

I don’t subscribe to this wild rumour he’s making much money currently as there is no evidence and he wouldn’t have provide a top ten budget, it’s like most business assets, all about the long term goals I’m guessing.

Sex man rules! I don’t think she’s that young is she, still depends how old you are!

She’s probably 25 years younger than his wife.

 

I’m probably two years younger than yourself James.
