One issue that has to be mentioned is the high level of players that have come from Macc and previous Askey experiences at low level rather than high. We dont seem to have got any Askey world beaters, more released players and players that left and dropped down. With the exception of Cullen It looks very much like previous managers bringing in tat they can trust rather than players that look exciting or experienced at league 2. I dont expect anything more than lower midtable with what we have. If that is where we are finishing up the goodwill around season tickets and honeymoon period for the Shanahans will dissipate very quickly. Don't get me wrong they are certainly an improvement but there doesnt seem to be much indicating a change in the product on the field rather than the board room

Having read your comments on Facebook suggesting we might as well turn Vale Park into a car park it would seem the honeymoon period is over for you I wouldn't bother supporting them if I was you

There will always be numpties like you with their rose tinted glasses on thinking Askey can polish a turd.Three of the new signings even Askey let go to a lower level but now you think he will turn them into world beaters.

Ernie, you are, without a doubt, the most miserable bloke I have ever come across on t'internet.  Just saying.

I think some people are trying to look at the overall picture rather than pick holes in individual signings.  I don’t think anyone will waste time trying to spell it all out again Ern.  Enough people have done so over the course of this thread.  It’s clear that in your case it’s no use knocking because nobodies home.

If you can’t go into the season with at least some hope in your team why not pack it in and take up some other, less depressing, hobby.  I can recommend bog snorkelling and toe wrestling, but NEVER at the same time. That would be crazy.

I think it all comes back to what you expected really...

If you expected new owners to mean, we started bringing in players on 5-6-7k a week, then I understand you're disappointed! But from the word 'go', Carol and Kevin has made it very clear, that that wasn't going to happen. 

And you simply can't say you're onboard with the 'slow and steady progress', but then get pissed about not signing very expensive players. It simply doesn't add up.

I trust the club as a whole now (it took some winning over). I never thought we'd end up in the play offs or above, but mid table in good distance from the bottom 2 points wise, would be more than fine with me!

I’m not enchanted, nor am I disenchanted. I haven’t see most of them play yet so I won’t jump to rash early and judgments. 

Why don’t you just slash your wrists now?!!!

The signings are what they are .

Pretty unknown apart from

Cullen .

Are they any good well if we can find a way of getting a very noisy home crowd by getting as many folk as possible into the ground due to innovation in pricing then those who represented us so averagely last campaign may be improved massively.

Thats really the top and tail of it .

Once that whistle goes the desire of our side must be greater than the opposition.

Not we are  playing Bradford today and we are expected to lose but we should beat Crawley mentality.

I must admit, I'm also a little underwhelmed so far but all we can do at the moment is trust JA and see how the trialists get on.

The year we went up, we all thought we were up the creek too. We were in administration, didn't make any marquee signings and were one of the bookies' favourites to go down. 

Then everyone stepped up, Pope got 33, and we ended up getting promoted. On the flipside, the likes of Northampton splashed the cash and did sod all. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see a few more signings that I know but we aren't exactly a desirable club to move to as it stands.

I wouldn't say I'm a happy clapper, but I'll give it 10 games then make a judgement.

I'm no expert but my understanding was that if a club hadn't paid wages by a certain time the players contracts became void and they were available to sign for another club on a free?If thats the case there should be some good players that could be pinched but nobody seems to be leaving?
