Nobody will do better until January when we can get rid of the rotten few.  Everyone knows it, Carol knows it, thats why she still supports JA.  She knows the problem isn't him.

By rotten are you just assuming players have a bad attitude from simply hear say and rumours ? Askey has brought these players in and if he can't control them then he shouldn't be a manager. 

This is his team and formation. He's taking us backwards. 

The buck stops with him.

It’s the first time since he’s been here that Vale weren’t good enough. What planet is this individual on. Obviously thinks all the latest results are acceptable. Useless I wouldnt let him manage my sock drawer

I said weeks and weeks ago... Actually, it was more of a question. I asked whether anyone can imagine the players really wanting to play for Askey. Based on his pre and post match stuff, when he can be arsed and doesn't send out Dave Kevan, he comes across as someone that is as dull as dishwater. Nice enough man, sure, but not someone that will get you motivated and/or inspired in any shape or form.

He makes Cleggy from Last of the Summer wine look like William Wallace.

I had to laugh when Bowers said on the half-time whistle that "John Askey will be tearing strips off the wall in the dressing room at half-time".......yeah, right - only if he's going to do a Bill Bratt and walk around with a paint brush in his hand, as he's (supposedly!) re-decorating the place himself!

I have been in there in the past, dead funny aren't you.

 

Crookes. Askey signing.

Robinson. Askey signing.

Cullen. Askey signing.

Mills. Askey signing.

Whitehead. Askey signing.

Burgess. Askey signing.

McKirdy. Askey signing.

Fitzpatrick. Askey signing.

 

Bla bla bla disruptive influences, give him January.

 

Look at his past fcking transfers. They're his fcking players. You're talking delusional nonsense.

Askey we werent good enough. Just take that onboard in that we have just  played 3rd from bottom at home. We are on the crest of a slump.

JA said its the first time it was not good enough and the players were missing.  This was not good enough and players were not trying to show for each other.  Thought the players would show, but they didn't today and that was not good enough.

Which games has he been watching over the last 10 games.  The players have been not showing for each other for the last 10 games and he has only just seen it today.

Today apart, recent performances have been pretty good, just bad results. So they were playing for the manager in those games, to me he’s either telling the players to do things that league 2 players can’t do, or he’s telling them to do things they should be able to do but can’t, in which case they ar’nt good enough.

Being as dull as dishwater in a radio interview has no bearing whatsoever on whether a person is a good manager or a bad one.

Let's hope so, things cant go on like this, he may well be the players scapegoat but if you cant manage them then you need to go.

[mikey]

is anyone else worried that if he goes it might get handed to Pugh or Sinclair?

We need an experienced manager in who can get the results to keep us away from the drop zone, as thats where our battle is now.

You wrong on 2 of those.

No, I'm not. Every single player in that list was offered a contract under the Askey regime. Fact. 

Let's not forget his other masterclass signings, Bennett, Kennedy, Lloyd, Evans, Maddison and Archer. Yeah, give him January, he'll be reet.

As someone who played football none stop as a teenager and young bloke, I can only speak for myself when I say that I enjoyed playing for managers that had something about them, a personality, far more than I did for those who didn't. I can only imagine it's the same for players no matter what level they are playing at.

He sounds like that when we win and on a good run.  He knows the axe will be coming at some stage and I don't think he trusts the players anymore and they don't trust him either.
