To be fair to JA you have to have the quality in the youth setup to be interested....we didn't during his tenure.

He got rid of the reserve team. This directly contributed to our lack of fitness amongst squad players and the stunting of youth players progress.

I remember when he did this some tried to defend him on here. Crazy decision that made no sense and led to put squad being unfit

The club was a basket case, pity JA didn’t want to engage with the youth setup , this was a major issue

That bit isn't true. Carol brought in Sinclair because she felt Askey was having to run everything from the youth setup to the accadamy. He was much less involved last season but it wasn't his choice. If you believe it is an issue it's still an issue under the new structure. Personally I don't see it is an issue. Last season Askey, now DC are responsible for the first team.

Was it his decision? I really don't know but if there's a lack of quality and potential then what's the point. You might as well invest the budget in 1st team players instead.

To keep players fit that aren’t in the first 11 so when they are needed they are actually fit enough to play. The youth players may not be great but the won’t progress without the reserve side. Literally makes no sense getting rid of it imo

I was sad to see Askey go as I was when Aspin left. Not because I thought they were doing a good job but because they were both decent blokes. But being a decent bloke doesn’t necessarily make you a good manager. It was pretty obvious that, for whatever reason, Askey had lost the players in the months before his departure.

I don’t care if Clarke is the sort of bloke I would want to have a cup of tea with. I just care about whether he can bring success to Vale.

I am hoping this is something that DC looks into(getting a reserve team set up at Vale) it's what we have always had to help bring players on(youth wise) help injured players with fitness and also to have a look at trialists. Since it was scrapped our injury issues have increased massively.

Some intereting names amongst the rumours and going for the profile of players in their mid twenties.....

Johnson CB/LB

Jones CB/LB

Kelleher CB

Sweeney CB

Wilson FW

Gordon FW

Also wonder if there is a chance of  Mitch Clark back on a season long loan.

 

 

I'd be amazed if Clark is on the radar .  Fits all the boxes mind you,  again allegations on here that he was a bad egg. 

Unless he's permanent I don't see him keep coming back here .

Not sure he was a bad egg in the dressing room,he just got himself in a bit of bother and so had to go back

Personally i think he is a very saleable asset but he could also end up like that young Leeds LB we had on loan who was highly rated by them but i think he is now in national league(his name escapes me)

It is true Askey would not engage with senior youth coaches prior to Sinclair , unless they are lying, along with others directly involved in the youth setup
