Does Rudgey still love the vale?

[Chelmsford Vale]

Let us remember John Rudge as the greatest manager we ever had, he should not come back, neither would he want to I am sure

[valiant steve]

Rudge gave us the best years of our history. He's playing a big part in giving sjoke some great years. Imagine what he could have achieved at his peak in the 90s if he had switched to a bigger club with more resources. He had opportunities but was loyal to Vale always. Great manager. Great guy. Black and white blood.

[valiant]

I think its no coincidence that when Rudge was sacked from Vale we fell from the Championship to The 4th division of league of football.

 

Rudge joined Stoke and they went from the 3rd division of league of football to the Premier league.

 

The guy has the magic touch with football clubs. He has a good business brain and gets the most out of the money available. He has tremendous experience and would be ideal to be part of a future Vale take-over to help guide the club in making good decisions and deals.

[leek.Valiant]

He can **** off traitor.

 

There's always one!

[Birdy]

A pure 100%, thoroughbred, Vale legend. He was ***** on by the Vale at the the time and wanted to stay in the area. I bare no grudge whatsoever, he is a gent and those in charge of the club at the moment are the polar opposite to him.

[king of the stone age]

I think I read somewhere when he took us to tribunal for severence pay as ******* didn't give him any, he never cashed the cheque as he wanted to sue ******* not vale, and he knew we couldn't afford it. Top bloke proper legend. Always thought he should have summat named after him at vale.

[big carlos]

welcome back any day. rudgie is a vale god

[Sonny]

That just about sums it up. Why hasn't he got an MBE or something? We should nomimate him. Does plenty of charity stuff.

 

William Amos Bratt got one for services to football,I still find that unbelievable.............................!

[pete vale]

I'll go and pick him up myself.

 

THIS MAN IS A TRUE VALE LEGEND

[Sonny]

John loves the job he does, he gets to mix with the Premier League glitterati well paid and no pressure.

[Memphis]

Anybody who speaks ill of the legend that is John Rudge, in my view, is not a true Vale supporter.

 

Legends rise above what are petty rivalries, and regardless of what he has done since he was unceremoniously dumped by Bell, he will always be the best thing that ever happened to Port Vale Football Club.

[tezzer73]

is that you gary roberts lol

[boomers_vet]

I thought hed retired from stoke ?

[Fosse69]

A clean slate is needed. Rudge was way best his best when BB offered him the director of football job. Rudge preferred to be dof down the road and is best left in the past.

 

Do you really think we have a chance? Coates has surely tied him down with a contract for life. They maybe in the top tier now, but not for ever, you have to think ahead.

[AlwaysValiant]

Rudgey is, and always will be, a true Vale legend.

We had the most successful years ever, promotions, Wembley trips, giantkillings and all this was done playing football the way it should be played.

He is respected by everyone in football,and rightly so.

 

However, this is now in the past. I don't think he'd want to come back. He should always be remembered for the legend he is.

 

He might wear a red and white tie nowadays, but I'm sure he's still got black and white blood running through his veins!!
