Up The Vale

Just what the hell is going on at the Vale? Lee Sinnot sacked just a few games into the season. It seems that he had not got the full support of ALL of the board. My sources tell me that a few of the directors wanted Dean Glover from the start and now it would seem like they will get their wish. But how will this will go down withe the fans?, surely they must feel that the club is not moving on. It seems that the club can not see past the team that won the Autoglass trophy in the mid 90's. Martin Foyle was a great striker and yet did not make the best manager and many fans felt the club held on for too long before sacking him. Deano and Goober were there under the Tin Man and yet it seems they will get their chance to manage the side. But is this the same old, same old? We are told that Deano will be "Director of Football and Porter will be Head Coach, just ask Newcastle United if this system works! Maybe it's time to look past the glory days, a new broom and all that. Ian Holloway is out of work, would'nt he be a great coup for the club and give it that much needed lift? If I was picking a player from the past to be manager it would be Aspo without a doubt! Well Valies over to you what do you think?.......

I feel that this sacking is rather a hasty decision. Im not a Vale fan, Im Stoke City, so cannot really comment on the teams performances. Yes, results have not been too good, but Vale are not exactly sitting at the bottom of the table are they. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Glover have a go at managing the team not long ago. The fans weren't too happy with that either. I personally feel given time, Sinnott would have turned things around. Its not an easy division, and there are some good sides in it. There seems to be disagreements on this from the Board. I believe it was a phone call to see what they wanted to do, on the manager decision. That is not good. We have had all this at Stoke, fans wanting Tony Pulis and Peter Coates out, and those fans are now eating their words. We will probably only get one season in the Premiership, hopefully not, so we will enjoy it whilst it lasts.
