We've got to come to terms with the fact that every striker now signed with will exist in the shadow of Pope. Some fans will use him as the barometer and everyone will be expected to, at minimum, replicate his role. I thought it was right he was released but some will, through justified sentiment, cling to the idea that something was holding him back this last season, as opposed to him being in his late 30s and declining.

We'll get tired of discussing it but the last decade of Port Vale has effectively been the Tom Pope decade, for better or worse, and it's completely altered people's perceptions of strikers. It's similar to how every manager we have is held up to Rudge, despite Rudge's not really existing in the game anymore and the comparison being completely meaningless. 

I'm of the mind that Carol is brilliant, Flitters and DC win promotions, and everything structurally is in place to ensure they make the right decisions. I'll trust it. 

Absolutely spot on. I think as amazing as Pope was, and he stuck by the club in our darkest days, its an indicator of how badly our club was run and because things were so bad he was elevated even higher.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve the legend status but we've been short on real quality for a long time. It's time for a new chapter, and to get out of this damn league for good.

Proctor good prove to be an astute signing, can play with his back to goal and bring others into the game , different than any other strikers at the club

Exactly, all the strikers bring something different at the moment. Depending on opponents, tactics, switching it up etc we will actually have some options to make real changes.

Glad you posted that and not me emoji38.png

I love the Pope to death but he wasn’t fit after his ban and the got injured and never looked fit afterwards. His tenure at Vale had to end some time  for me it’s was right .

Somebody prepare the pigeon for Rayzer

It is alright Phil I picked it up on the official site. Is it possible the Director of communications has been told to get the info out there on all the different media formats. I saw it on the Sentinel website too.

Doesn't really matter whether you used the word "some" "one" or "a thousand" you're still out of order calling any Vale fan feckless. What you mean is they have a different opinion to you - which is the point of having a forum. With his contribution diminishing, season by season, I'll be glad to see us stop playing Popeball! Currently, the transfer window is still open for a while. - let's see who comes in!

The point of having this forum is for communication amongst Vale fans and part of that is to put forward different opinions. 

I made a very reasoned case for Tom Pope getting another contract, there's absolutely nowt wrong with that. Philmpv and one or two other fans chose to reply with posts containing frivolous or disparaging remarks which I have challenged, again nothing wrong in that.
