Yes, I think that is key.  If our unwillingness to spend money cost us in January, it comes home to roost on lost revenue next season.  I'll be sorry to see those players go, but a goalscoring midfielder and a young England player will be ripe for picking off in summer by other clubs.  We need to capitalise on their worth and build a squad that is better balanced, has goal scoring potential, and is defensively cohesive. It won't come cheap, but maybe we change our pay structure and invest in better paid players, who get us into league 1 where crowd revenue will pay their wages? I mean, if not now, when?  Six more seasons in League 2 will be dire.  We need to bounce back quickly, and I think we can if we learn from this experience. 

LL, TBH six seasons in L2 wouldn’t bother me providing we produced some good performances and weren’t annually involved in a relegation battle.

Yep. But way better than Weir

Weir is very poor but still better than Loft who is not a footballer. Although, I agree with you that it wasn’t a good substitution by Moore.

Overpaid and labeled 'phenomenal' by mummy

Nice one mate. I've said we have <ovf censored> striker and defence and you disagree? If your gonna disagree atleast say something good. So you think the defence and striker are good I'm guessing?

[Southern_Valiant]

This is the most embarrassing squad of players put together I have ever seen absolutely no fight at all but what so you expect when Carol prefers to allocate funds to a ground rather than what is on the pitch its absolutely shambolic problem Carol and Co have now is they have gone about this the completely wrong way and dragged this club bacl to league 2 if she focused funds on the squad rather than a scoreboard and all the other crap we would be looking up the table rather than the inevitable trap door she taken 2 steps forward and 20 back which inevitably will lead to a club sale then the whole merry go round starts again

I think it’s fairly established I’m no happy clapper. I’m gutted about relegation and have been forthcoming, for about 18 months, in criticising the very obvious mistakes being made.

Deapite this, the club hasn’t been killed, and Carol doesn’t deserve attacks on her character. She’s led with good intentions and made a dog’s dinner of it, to her personal financial cost of millions loaned that will never be repaid.

Being in League 2 again will be rubbish, but we’re not dead. It’s just another very disappointing chapter in Port Vale 2000-present.

So every penny the club made from cup runs went into team investment? You talk like she never had a penny out of the club. I'm not buying it!

Sick of being short changed .

I give everything in my life every shift 120 per cent every hr at it every pound earned through graft

We were 2 -0 ,up do  the basics stand there block everything stay with your players fight fight fight for every ball dont do it first half then decide I cannot be bothered do it second half .

Years of bloody misery .

Guessing you think our strikers and defender are good if you think I'm winding you up when I say there <ovf censored>. We've only started scoring goals at the end of the season typical. It's not good enough. Bailey is an exception, doing well at his age.

[Lornelounger]

Agreed - though I think we ought to be doing better given our set up as a club.  Players should want to come here, but I'm guessing they don't because of the money? If it isn't that, I wonder why players who we might reasonably expect to buy go elsewhere?  But yes - I like to be entertained, and as long as League 2 interesting and relatively safe, so be it - for a while.  I just think we should be able to be a League 1 side, and but for the mistakes we have made, I think we still would be. Frustrating.

She has loaned us, interest-free, 8 million pounds from other companies she owns.

Buy whatever you want mate, it doesn’t change the facts.

Take a look at the latest accounts released. 

[JoeB2]

We made very little from the cup runs, by the way. Carabao prize funds are minimal compared to FA Cup.

The club is being killed as it's being run by someone who hasn't got a scooby about football. Someone who is too egotistical to do anything about her mistakes until she's simply left with little choice. Someone who has the nerve to write patronizing open letters just to try and save face.

If she's got as much money as people say then losing a few million is like a regular bloke losing £500. The club is just a vanity project for herself that happened to be on her doorstep.

What contrast! First half one of our best 45mins of the season, second half one of our worst. The Weir for Uche sub was baffling. See you all in L2!
