Reading (A) match thread - 20th Feb

[1]

Moore must have known there was a 50/50 chance of going down, so I doubt he’ll walk if we do.

[SuperHuman]

It wouldn’t surprise me if Moore walks before the end of the season if it carries on like this. He’s risking his reputation being ruined and has probably realised that this is a bigger job than he first thought. 

Whatever the case I can’t see him being with us in League Two. There will be a clause in his contract no doubt.

This is Port Vale we’re talking about. The one club where these type of things happen. 

One normal season, please.

Why haven't his backroom team been announced formally?

Why are they working on non contract basis?

Norman's foreign legion were better than this. They went down on the last day by a point.

Reggie and Chris Mbamba. Dear me!

The cheap option in hiring AC instead of conducting any external interviews was the start of the penny wise pound foolish domino chain.

The club are pouring money into vanity projects like having the players change in a different set of changing rooms on matchdays to make it 'special'. A new office overlooking the training pitches. Meanwhile on the pitch, you know the bit that actually matters for a football club, we've won 3 in 27, over 5 months worth of games. I won't be surprised if we hit 6 months without winning a 4th. It must be some kind of global football record, other than San Marino. We went the whole summer being the only club in the entire league, it may even be the entire EFL if I remember right, with one fit striker on the books, before Thomas came in 2 days before the 0-7 masterclass at Barnsley.

The owner has an opportunity to address the fans valid concerns through the 1800 word open letter she wrote. She ignores each and every one of them, I would imagine because they're inconvenient to acknowledge, never mind explain. The 1800 word open letter is instead a party political broadcast for how great Flitters is. She meant well in a difficult position but she only made things worse by ignoring reality. There is an unpleasant and ever widening gap between the administration and the fans.

This circus will get relegated. We will lose many off the ST and walk up figures. We will lose a lot of income from Portsmouth, Derby, Bolton, Barnsley, Reading, Blackpool, Wigan, Charlton etc when we instead have Barrow, Salford, Crawley and Morecambe et al on a Tuesday night in League 2. We will no doubt lose those games. Vale will still not have any strikers of voting age on the bench.

She needs an intervention. David Flitcroft is not the only person the world capable of being PVFC's director of football, Carol.

I’d take most of them over this list. De Freitas and Knops were decent players.

If Stoke and Crewe are in League 1 next year, and we're in League 2, I'm going to find it extremely difficult.

I can’t even bear to imagine it. I hope stoke stay up because it makes me sick to think of it.

[Stockleys_socks]

Two games in hand. 2 very winnable home games. All is not lost folks.

[Vale Ball]

Could see this result coming just as you could see the Cheltenham result coming, DC was always going to turn us over and after Reading supporters disgraceful antics at the 1st game it was nailed on they would win tonight, at least we stood with our brothers and sisters against the Reading owner so some sort of moral victory.
Never felt so pi##Ed off with Port Vale.

I think it will be in the contract. He won’t manage in league 2. We will be back in for Kennedy in the summer.

His reputation would be even worse if he quit

That's genuinely where I'm at.

Willing Stoke City FC to win games so they don't come down. I feel sick.

What on earth has Carol done?

[Nippy Naylor]

Both him and us look like clowns if he jacks it in after relegation. It’s also terrible decision making by the club, as he’s never proven himself in a relegation battle before. So why would you get him in if he’s just gonna <ovf censored> off in the summer

Vale Park is such a major issue for Port Vale. Should have moved to a smaller stadium many years ago.

The issue is shyte recruitment from Flitcroft in two Jan transfer windows in a row total f##k ups and carol is oblivious to Fraudcroft failure,  we're screwed, I'm so p####d off .

Reggie scored 4 in 29! Prolific by our current forwards’ standards.

Yep. Already said that though very limited at least they were likeable characters. 

Some of this mob are sponging a living.
