Yet he said at the Forum we had made megabucks from the sale of two youngsters this season. That can’t have been factored into the budget in the summer. 

I agree it’s totally bizarre, where is this money going?? That’s on carol as she will give Flitcroft the money and then he will work within the constraints of that. He should definitely go as he’s ballsed up big time but he’s not been helped by constant penny pinching.

Flickers....Go forth and multiply...in other words ruck off out of our club you fraudster !!...110 %.

[Boomers left hand]

Tra a bit Flickers ! 

[Seamus O'Wye]

He should never been given the job in the first place, and the last place we want him is at Vale Park.

To put it politely, please leave our Club. In other words F**K OFF.

I've just been reading a Guardian article from Flitcroft's time at Bury (and we all know how Bury ended up). Any of this sound familiar...

Quote

“We’re in League Two,” says Flitcroft. “But we try and behave like a Championship club.”

£100,000 was invested in improving the pitch and the dressing rooms were revamped

We talked about how important it was to develop the ‘Bury brand’ of football, a clear identity which everyone from players to supporters could buy into.

Now we’ve found that identity, the fans see the possession type of football we’re trying to play.

I know Bury was different in that owner was spending beyond his means but all the above wouldn't have helped the budget. It's somewhat disconcerting that the very same things seem to be taking place in Burslem...

Who’s the one muppet whos voted no! Come on reveal yourself? It’s got to be Lancy surely otherwise all I can see is it’s Floor cloth himself sat in his office scouting the top Scandinavian managers

If he sold financial services, he’d be struck off.

I've worked out how to add the vote from this topic to the sidebar. You should see it on the RH side across the forum (desktop users only - it won't show on mobile).

I've tried to keep that faith with DF, despite the evidence being against him. Last night was the turning point for me. In a time of crisis you rally round, roll your sleeves up and get involved. He didn't. He didn't front up to the press, he wasn't involved in the bench. As the man in charge of all footballing matters it's completely clear that the man with the vision was needed last night. He provides the continuity to the players in the training, selection and how they approach the game. The squad and approach are the result of his procurement. There was no evidence of him stepping in, or taking charge, or being visible. That really did not sit well.

Where are the comms? The vision is not being communicated and is not clear. If the January transfer window fitted in with his strategy, then he is not on the same page as the fans. If it did not fit in with the strategy, come out and say how it failed. Be brave. Now is not the time to hide, the fans want answers. 

I think I have been seduced in the past by his vision for the club, and it's a vision I share. However, it's easy to have a vision, putting it into action is the hard part. His failure to recruit to cover positions in the team that have been lacking for over a season is criminal. As someone who prides themselves on having a process to recruit talent, we have clearly failed. 

There is something rotten in the club, it may be a coincidence that both star loanees were recalled, whilst another refused to play. Could be co-incidence or is there something else? 

What are the club going to lose by getting rid now? If he stays he compromises the choice of the manager the club wish to bring in. The manager will have to buy in to his vision, which any manager worth their salt would question given the patchy recruitment since promotion, and especially given the abject failure to plug the gaps in January.

There is something rotting in the club. It's time to root it out, it's time for DF to go.

Good post Manc

[JoeB2]

The fact he talked about Bury “acting like a championship club” just before they liquidated should have set alarm bells ringing.
