Another Coach


Recommended Posts

Seems about right really. The reality is Smurfwaite cut the coaching staff to the bone and Carol is funding it back to decent levels. 
 

Who is funding it? Why us, probably the fans in addition to the owners. Smurfwaite took so much money out of the club and it is great to feel that every penny we spend goes back into the club. 
 

The only sad note is that I’m sure John Askey looks at the structure and wonders why he could never work under such backing.

Askey never questioned fitness/coaches how things were being done. 
 

askey was part of the problem

Not at all from me mate. I only put the thread on to inform posters. I love how the club is finally showing ambition. Perhaps the cash is from other people like Williams or Ian Donaldson and Autonet.
That's the good think about Carol she gets on well with other Business people.
Let it continue for me.

Port Vale fans, ay! 
The owners show ambition and splash the cash to IMPROVE the football club, and they are met with reactions like I’ve seen on here and on Facebook.
I know, let’s go back to the Smurf days where we were ran by a clown. I preferred them days... 
Christ, get a grip.
Fantastic stuff, yet again, by Carol.

I’ve also found the reaction of some Vale fans odd in relation to the appointment of additional coaches. I can only think it’s because we are doing so poorly in the league and they think it’s being taken away from the future playing budget. 

Anyway, my personal opinion is that it’s crucial to get the infrastructure correct, so I think this is another positive step.

At end of the day its not coming from the budget for the players so why are any fans bothered about appointing coaches 
if carol flickers clarke think its the right move then get behind it
I suppose there is always the concern that it's coming from the same pot. I know Carol has said it will not come from the playing budget but am concerned they are overspending on backroom staff. It's OK to have ambition but what is needed at our level or league 1 , think we are over egging the pudding. Appreciate playing budget limits are now in place. If we have spare cash would rather it be put away for a rainy day fund to spend on players when restrictions are eased or as a buffer to cover reduced season ticket sales .

How do you know we haven't already done that? Maybe trust Carol, obviously a very astute businesswoman, to plan properly and only spend what she can afford?

Do any of the people who are complaining about us signing more coaches think, maybe, the reason we have been absolutely rubbish for the best part of 15 years might be because we are woefully understaffed and haven't moved with the times?

We get a chairlady in who is trying to move us towards being a professional club, and people cry about it. Only at the vale.

I know mate, I wasn’t referring to yourself. 

As you say, long may it continue!

They aren’t overspending on the backroom staff at all, they are simply putting the right infrastructure in place. 

Can you not see the long term plan?
