I was saying its good we finally improved our facilities. Wasnt gonna happen on its own. Look at depepa he's a product of the academy and someone we can sell on. 

I never said it was a good thing not investing in the first team.

Months ago i stated we needed better players and your response was we need to get better facilities first for me that's delusional because better players should be the priority , mega facilities are no good to us  in league two are they ? Patrick

PVFC fan Are you running the club and Carol is just the person with the purse strings and saying no to your ideas.

You said that after the transfer window closed

[Dipepa delight]

In summary after watching football since I was 8 years old Port Vale players left the ground at half time there's no other way explain how we should be 4 or 5 up to losing 4-0 in second half .

A truly astonishing fall from heroic to down right pathetic .

Burton who are complete garbage are nearly safe you couldn't make it up .

I do not think they went to Stevenage and did what Vale did at Peterborough. 

Don't try convince me otherwise the negative keep the scoreline down v Peterboro is on Moore snd yesterday second half whatever that was is on Moore .

Do our players want play for anyone.

No guess not

Exeter have done very well since coming up with us. Stick with Caldwell when it was easier to sack him, a lot of sensible business. 

The return fixture in December was dubbed El Sackico with both Crosby and Caldwell looking in danger. 

[Warren]

Reflecting a day on. Uche was very important because first half we were able to play target man football. But he was spent by half time - coming back from injury. Without his effectiveness Exeter, who improved second half, just pushed up and pressed. We were not good enough to play through midfield and our defence wasn't good enough. Clearly Loft doesn't have the skill of Uche and Moore preferred to bring on others. But there is no way Weir is a good replacement for Uche.

Exeter have never really looked in danger so Caldwell has never been under huge pressure of being sacked. Nobody can argue with the sacking of Clarke or Crosby after the bad runs we went on under their leadership.

I felt Crosby was stuck with the ball going back and forth at the back. Moore has got PV to have a structure and play forward. But our players are not good enough. A good defence yesterday would have soaked up Exeter second half and hit on the break. We just looked like conceding goal after goal and did against a side that moved the ball well.

My <ovf censored> ideas are get good squad invest in facilities like the academy to allow for financial stability when we sell players on like depepa. Get a new dof in who with Darren more build a squad to maintain league 1 status. If we stay up. If we go down we should build a solid league 2 side as a foundation for when we are prompted to league 1.

If you disagree with that just because it's me saying it your mad.

We've seen in the last two years what happens when you build a solid League 2 team in preparation for League 1...

We have wasted millions on <ovf censored>. If we are going to continue to spend that kind of money, then we need to do a Stockport, Wrexham and Mansfield and spend the money on a very good League 2 squad with League 1 quality players as well. We already have some League 1 quality players in Garrity, Chizzy, Ojo. These need to be built around with the best League 2 player we can afford. The big spenders have all gone up. We should be close to the top of the pile on what we can spend on wages. We also need to spend the going rate on goalscorers. We've spent the money this year on Loft and Uche that would have got us a proper recognised striker.

If Carol is going to fix hers and Flitcrofts mistakes then we need to do it properly. Players who have been there and done it, played in their specialist position. Not spending the same amount of money on players that can play 3 positions but are <ovf censored> in every one of them.

I'm sorry but there is no need to swear I did not use them in my question to you also I am  coming up to 74yr old bloke fore a number of years I ran the J Vs till Jim cooper took over if you are not carol's son then are you Matt hancock CEO and no I am not mad all I have ever wanted is to see vale in the top league just once but I don't think I ever will.

 Said that in December time 

I hope the players enjoy the facilities 

Because the fans ain't enjoying watching a bunch of bottle job players showing no fight or effort unless Carol reduces season ticket prices gets rid of the dead wood players and brings in better players otherwise the fanbase will pick and choose there games , the balls in carols court now hopefully she makes the right decisions

No doubt the strategy will be employ another 50 analyst people on top of those already working at Vale Park, to look at what went wrong in the 2 years of fraudcroft.  This will be taken off the playing budget and so we can only employ broken players either too young or too old and looking for their last pay check.
