Happy Anniversary Carol, Kevin and all things Port Vale

[Warren]

Done a tremendous job before the COVID-19 crisis. The club was gradually edging back to its rightful level of sporting capability and off the field was much better managed. Now, well the club would not have survived under Smurf; it is as simple as that. Therefore the takeover was probably one of the half dozen most significant events the club's entire history. I acknowledge that real life continues to play out here and it is very difficult indeed to keep the club afloat. There may yet be another momentous adverse event like the cancellation of the whole of next season requiring a truly radical business response to survive when every other equivalent sized business would permanently close. But to me they have demonstrated excellent leadership backed with heart being in the job; something fundamentally missing with the previous Coventry supporter / owner.

The Shanahans have the club in profit after less than a year.  Contrast with our previous owner who reckoned his director's loan had to increase year on year because of the losses the club made.  Makes you wonder what on earth he was doing!!

No....I'm not .....you are......is someone peeling onions? (And I'm 62 years frigging old and should know better!) I don't have any more words from what has already been said.....

Kevin and Carol.....a simple thank you is not enough BUT it is the least I can offer on here....Thank you!

A wonderful feeling to be proud of the Vale after so many years of dross and dire, dirty dealings! Looking forward to regaining our place in the hearts of decent football fans everywhere, as their favourite neutral club, and so, so proud of the examples being set by our magnificent owners! Good times are coming back!!! 🤩

Who would have believed 12 months ago that our world would be turned upside down by a dreaded virus?!

Still, amidst these dark times I still think it's okay to say 'Thank You Carol & Kevin', and not just for what they have done for Port Vale, but for their caring and support given to the wider community in general and the needy in particular.

 

Absolutelyspot-on and well said!  I totally agree-thank you Carol & Kevin.
