I thought I had already mentioned Adam Murray as my preferred candidate.

Also available having left Besiktas after just three months.

Every chance he's on the shortlist. 5-year deal will mean vale get a big compensation package if anything comes of it.

I’m informed by LTFC fan the talk is they’ve accepted £5m compensation should Jones go to Southampton. The odds for this to happen with Sky bet is 1/33. So from this it’s fair to assume it’s a done deal

Glad to hear that Matt Hancock has joined the club.

Did he parachute in ?

Shame, I had a bet on Forest, Bournemouth and Leeds to go down. Looks like that’s out the window with Southampton joining Forest and Bournemouth for relegation. Saying that, either Bournemouth or Forest could stay up as Wolves are imploding.

Loves it here does DC BUT just the same as players every manager has a price .

Not sure if there is any truth in it or not but i have no doubt that clubs will be looking at DC when they sack a manager because of how well he has done/is doing at Vale.Lets not forget though this is the man who turned down Leeds to stay in League One

I think...hope...that DC fully appreciates the working relationship he has with his staff and the owners, and realises he's unlikely to get that same relationship anywhere else?

Genuine question: Why?

Must be his managerial career stats. DC is clearly the worse manager.....

I genuinely think that he does. At least, that's how he comes across.

Phil, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your bet wins 🤞

To be fair, I suspect Leeds were turned down because they were owned then by Masimo Cellino. He wouldn't have lasted 6 months with that nutter in charge!

That makes you even more weird than i previously thought. I can imagine you sat at your keyboard getting very excited with the prospect of Darrell going to Luton 🤣

Don't think so,he's more likely to have come down the A50.

[Breadwinner]

The lad who told me about speedy going to Stoke weeks ago told me about the other things also .
Hopefully the DC story is a load of nonsense .
But if true no wonder all the Vale forums are quiet at present .
Bad enough us losing revenue with big cup exit without losing our manager who in my opinion is the reason why I go Vale more often these days more so than the players

Am sure there will be other names rumoured for the Luton job but one I've read is Richie Wellens from Leyton Orient. Hope so then DC stays!

[werstayinup]

Dc isn't going anywhere so dunner worry

[ollyandpatch]

DC is a name mentioned on the Luton Forum. 

He won't leave us anyway, for a start they will have to employ DF first and I think he is on a good number at the Vale. With his personal tragedy last season I think he knows how much the club love him and I think he feels the same.
