Hasn't it been obvious in the dramatic dip in effort that there was a problem in the dressing room?  All this Askey out nonsense is indicative of folk who have no idea whatsoever of how easily teams can be unsettled by a bad egg.  It happens in the every day workplace too.  A whisper here, a nudge there and very quickly you have a whole team questioning everything...  some of you are so desperate to nail Askey that you simply refuse to believe a player like McKirdy, who has caused trouble in every room he has ever visited, is upsetting the harmony that is vital at a football club.  Football isn't played on a games console, players don't come with ability stats in real life and team building is as much about fitting together the right characters as it is ability.

It was obvious, we started fine, then we signed McKirdy but he wasn't fit for a while.  He got fit enough to play and our form started to dip.  I have been hinting at a bad egg for a couple of months but again, a few of you just hate Askey.

Go and have a look at yourselves, grow up a bit and educate yourselves on team building.  You know who you are.

Sounds like you just hate mckirdy. What proof do you have that he’s been a bad egg other than he caused problems at his previous club? Or is it all guesswork? Not saying your wrong as it could be the case (might not even be mckirdy). But your basing this on the fact he caused issues at his last club. 

Why would he join and then just cause issues? It Dosent make sense to me

I should add as well, a player in form will also have a happy and settled life at home.  Add a team mate that encourages behaviour that upsets that and you have problems.  Wags talk!

You’re clutching at straws now. No friends and family are allowed at games though. So nobody will have met any new wags.

I couldn't care less about him.  I realise that this makes your crusade against Askey look more than a little immature and purile but that's your problem.  All the signs have been obvious for anybody not blinded by hatred of a man who saved the club from non league football.

What a strange post. Crusade against askey? Again he didn’t save us, but I’m not going into this with you again. I wanted a change of manager as did the majority on here after 6 losses, delighted with the win yesterday and hopefully we can build on that! 

Very odd you are. 

Explain these signs then as your clearly the only one that can see them!

Nofinikea being a bit weird mate?

I lobbed him on ignore. Was following me around the forum for months with some weird obsession. Reassured to know it's not just me.

Don't know about <Edit>as its a place where the dull and inbreds hang out.  

Last post from me as adding you to the ignore list. 

Yes the did. Just read the threads. Yeah you wouldn’t care about that would you as literally the thousands of fans on there wanted a change.

McKirdy and Robinson were signed behind Askey's back.  By whom I do not know, maybe the Shanahan lad, but Askey doesn't rate either. Which is why they are both out on the naughty step and not even getting in the squad.

Askey signs who he wants to,trust me there will be no interference from the shanahans on that score,Robinson wasn't first choice thats for sure and Mckirdy was just given a chance by Askey,what i will say is it wouldn't surprise me to see McKirdy leave in January

Really?? how did you work that out just out of interest?

I was chatting with a group of vale fans obviously on social media,out of this group before yesterday 5 wanted a change 7 didn't... now thats just in a small group i will give you that but if you look at it as an average then it wouldn't be 80-90%

So what was the problem when Askey took over a team hurtling towards relegation?  He binned a few players out for causing problems and we stabilised...  that kind of defeats your point.  

No not really because the issues facing Askey when he joined were multiple players (all gone now) who were taking the p*ss massively and as a team they were used to a weak regime under Aspin where he never stamped it out, he never took training in the week and the training methods, preparation and the focus were terrible too.

So those players issues and behind the scenes problems were allowed to fester and all those factors combined and contributed to the dressing room disintegrating under him and he lost them totally.

Just so it's clear; was never on the cards that Askey would be sacked: https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/i-dont-want-give-job-4771202

As I've said I have my views on his limitations and where we'll be in a couple of years, but trust Carol to the extent where if she's intent on keeping him, I'll keep my mouth shut. 

Carol is always going to put continuity and stability at the forefront of her decision-making, so I think we're unlikely to see anything major until the Summer. Of course, Askey now has no excuses; he's been backed extensively, and needs to deliver. Let us hope this nightmare November doesn't turn out to cost us. We can't afford to slip up many more times now; we need to be consistently decent from here on out.

Bollox. If you mean 80/90% of posts, you may be close to the mark, but the vast majority of those posts were made by the same half dozen who pop up vociferously whenever we lose. You've fallen into the trap of thinking that the majority of vale fans use this forum. They don't, by any stretch. The vast majority either don't use this forum and Facebook, or don't post. As with twitter 'storms', the silent majority is rarely represented.

Agree.

Anyone who know Carol Shanahan also knows she would only sack someone with extreme reluctance and it was unlikely to happen quickly. Rudge enjoyed some truely awful runs of results. Really if Joyce had stayed on his feat against Tranmere this run wouldn't have happened. Its the way it happens in football where one incident leads to another. Poor results lead to becoming over anxious in the next game and suddenly it becomes a massive job to turn it around. Hopefully we are now going to start a decent run. We are still only 3 points off the playoffs!

 Dull and inbred, you fit the bill perfectly, using the derogatory term you have done to describe facebook is an insult to anyone who has contact with Downs syndrome ,You should apologise and remove the remark.
