Match Thread: Mansfield Town v Port Vale

[The Kalamazoo Kid]

Carol needs to drop her admirable stance of 'loyalty and sticking together, through thick-and-thin', and face the reality of owning a football club that is performing abysmally where it matters - on the pitch.

This is now way beyond 'thin' - its long overdue that she does her duty (as custodian of a Football League club) and replaces this manager.

Askey has already been allowed way more time than he would have got at any other club.

Enough is enough Carol. Time to act.

Sad thing is, Grimsby are just about worse than us and being at home we'll probably sneak a hard fought win next weekend, and that guarantees Askey at least another month in the job. Sad times.

Don’t understand football, if I was this bad at my job I would be sacked with no chance of a pay-off. I feel sorry for Colin Askey, a true Vale legend having to watch his own son destroy his beloved club.

That's the kind of drivel I spouted to my then girlfriend who was about to leave me when I had to declare bankruptcy at 20 after some naive choices and a head full of magic.

Grimsby will walk to a win against us.

That's something I've been considering too. Right now I'd gladly piggy back Derek Adams along the M6 southbound hard-shoulder all the way to Burslem and introduce him to Carol, if I thought that it'd be of any help.

Can I come with you. I’m no trouble. Will bring a flask and mince pies 🤣

I honestly don't think we will.

It should be irrelevant anyway.  He should be gone one way or another. 

We simply cannot go on like this.

Parkinson is the number 1 choice for me.

He may be 'taking a break', but dangle enough money in front of him and he won't be able to resist.

Get him in there, get him rinsing those frauds, and get us mid-table and able to think ahead of this summer.

I'm more angry by that shower than I thought I would be.

Yates is top draw is his commentary and post game assessment. For someone who is associated to the club, he’s said everything we are all thinking

Wonder if he fancies a stint as manager. I'd take Gary Glitter right now.

[eh up nah]

Thank God we're sacking Mckirdy and Robinson off

He'd make a good coach in my opinion.

Thought that my self. Fair play to him and well done.

Smith is in danger of going the way of George Pilkington.

More like Karl Pilkington
