Part of me says your right part of me says if you let him get the players he wants next window we should do fine. Hes a proven manager so I would expect us to get another proven manager in to replace him.

Nope he's got no excuses these are his players 

The buck stops with the manager and coaching staff

Biin The manager off otherwise prepare for league 2 footy

The players gave up after 36 minutes. 

First goal went in. There’s serious morale problems.

Port Vale 0 - 3 Stockport 

Bolton 4 - 0 Port Vale

He needs to go 

Who will replace him, give us a possible name

He was more than good enough first half playing one of the 10s.

As soon as he dropped deeper he looked poor. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad player or he’s past it. It means he’s not being utilised properly.

Same as a lot of players. I can’t see how some of these players can be happy playing under Moore. He stifles them and moves them out of position.

Look at Ronan Curtis and the reputation he had before he came to us. When has he been allowed to cut in from the left and shoot from distance? Never. Yet it was his whole game previously 

Curtis is another fish out of water, of which we have a shoal load. 

Yates getting so frustrated - players not tracking opposition players who are running across them.  Yates saying no passion, care and wanting to play.  Yates is doing well to sound calm and wanting the game to end now.

And Blackpool are 3-0 up against Cardiff now -  Couple that with Wycombe and Peterborough I think it answers those who say "who would you get as Manager - there are no good ones out there !.   Well those 3 seem to have done OK dont they . Phil and Yatesy sound more depressed than I have ever heard them . Still he got us promoted didnt he but lets face facts he couldnt motivate the team the last time we were in this division because they were NOT his players ...... Oh but these are HIS CHOSEN players and he still cant motivate them . God help us .

Can't just bin him off for someone who's <ovf censored> though, we need a decent manager to be available.

Its a tight table and I think we can turn it around. We have 2 options, keep DM and give him the money for a good window, I think that would guarantee we do ok. Or sack him before the window and take a possibly massive risk. No risk no reward I guess 

By my rough back of a fag packet calculations I make it 5 wins in 34 games in this division and you think he can turn it round ?

Sack him end offf I do f hear this a that get id seem enough he’s <ovf censored> l! End off Carol do right thing

He can attract decent players to the club, problem is he can't get a tune out of them.

Last 2 league games we've conceded 7 and scored none (game still in play so could be more goals against yet) 

Yep, totally depressing! Can't see where our next wins coming from.  We look totally devoid of any confidence once we concede a goal and not surprisingly we have only won once having gone behind!

Squad too big, I'm not surprised. Spine of our squad is Gucci, Humphreys, Byers, Cole. Who outside that has the confidence and morale to perform? One bad game and they are out the team.

Why Carol needs to start looking and getting advice.  January is too late, as Vale normally take a while on replacements and the window will be shut.

Blackpool , Wycombe and Peterborough seem to have found someone to motivate their EXISTING squads. The Vale dont interview candidates , Carol just pick the first one that comes to mind.
