Ahh. So Mother Teresa is also a philanthropist now as long as a nobel peace prize winner. Got ya.

Root: from Greek 'phila' meaning 'lover of' and 'anthropos' meaning humanity. So in the broadest sense of the word Mother Teresa (Saint Teresa of Calcutta) was a philanthropist, but in the modern sense it's used to refer to rich people who give money to help people worse off. Is Carol in that category? I'll let you make your mind up on that one.

Bell did some good things but 95% of that progress was down to sir John

Not having that. If the current DF situation tells us anything, it's that you can just be responsible for the good stuff. It was a great time for Vale, but Rudge wouldn't have worked without Bell and vice versa.

I think she has an ego that she likes to feed. That's just my opinion.

Guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on that one 😁

I think we need to wait for official confirmation of the sale of Synectics before we get too excited.

A poster on here yesterday said he spoke with an employee at synectics about it and they said it has defo been sold , So UTV

He got Micky in to ‘buy’ (doubt he ever paid a penny) shares in order to stop a vote of no confidence, so he could continue the glamour of owning a football club. He might have started with good intentions, but it quickly went to his head. 

V2001 was only ever supposed to be a vehicle to keep the ownership out of Icelandic hands (who planned to merge Vale and Stoke) and then to pass to someone who had money to take us forward. Unfortunately Bratty loved the limelight too much, to the detriment of Port Vale. 

V2001 had Port Vale at heart. If it wasn't for a couple of bad apples in the bunch it may well have worked out.
