You can say what u want about Carol but the start to Bradys league managerial career with vale is a car crash. We been hammered by 2 poor league one teams. He won't last the season the abuse he will get will be to much. At least Carol can stay away from Vale Park.

You are right about results but they are not poor League 1 sides - Mansfield are 8th and about to win 6 on the trot and Exeter are 11th!

Sell up please Carol. 

I'm not going to berate Brady.....he's been left a <ovf censored> show of a football team by DM....I feel sorry for him that he's got to try and sort this lot out, because whatever happens he's going to get it in the neck 

It's honestly like the club are trying to force me to stop coming. I think I'm at the point where I've listened.

He was employed because he was another cheap option. He's a good non league manager/PE teacher but not a league one manager I'm afraid. So we have a manager out of his depth who carnt attract the decent players. What a mess. Heading back to where we started when carol took over having spent shed loads. Unbelievable.

I listened to the Vale and Ale pod this week. 
She’s the best part of 12 million in losses since she took over?

All in loans. 
 

Now I’m not saying she’s a crook like Norman was but what the <ovf censored> is going on here?

This cannot continue.

If she has the money to throw away then great. But otherwise she’s either a fool, or she’s a vanity project, or she is a clueless business woman. 
The latter, through history, you would say no. So which one of the first two is she? 
Or is she a crook?

Something really doesn’t add up.

 

What a miss. That’s why we are down

She wont sell up as she uses the club to play dinner lady to the community projects - this way she feels good about herself.

It's the clowns she has in control of the football side that needs getting rid of and proper football experienced people put in place.

Correct. 
We don’t have a manager “bounce”, more of a manager “slump”

Manager bounces happen when the team are still playing for each other and the fans, we always leave it too late and by the time the new manager has come in we're already beyond repair.

The opposition could all sit down on the half way line and our team would still miss the goal.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was talking to a big Exeter fan a few weeks ago.  He was adamant Exeter were going down as there budget is really small and they are punching above their weight. I said vales budget is pretty decent in comparison he agreed we shouldn't be bottom of the league and he went onto say we would finish above them at the end of the season. That was 4 weeks ago. Not looking likely now but shows you how poorly we have done this season.

Splodger, how many of us have said that we actually have a good squad of players with a new manager?

Why oh why have we appointed a manager with almost the same win ratio that Moore had under us?

Beggars belief.

Hancock out tonight. 
Brady won’t last the season. 
The owners are culpable. 
 

I don’t know the answer. And sadly Carol hasn’t got any answers either.

We are in a huge mess.

I keep saying it but she'd have literally saved millions by investing in an expensive professional C-Suite set up with actual experienced football people in at board level.

This deluded DIY method of doing it all themselves has led to millions squandered, customers lost, and some very depressing records broken.

It's very, very sad. Genuinely.

Moore's win % makes Gannon, Brown, Ribeiro, Glover, Sinnott et al look like <ovf censored> Bill Shankley.

With respect mate, he came in with half a season left. Not 5 games.

She is too busy with non football stuff.  Then those she left to run the club are letting her down.  

If only she'd kept on Colin Garlick. Big Dave knew best though eh?
