Agree @Red Kite. Huge shoes to fill but can see why the powers that be went for him.

A day off to make a fixtures picture and get 5 likes on twitter .

Everton moving from Hummel to Castore …

Suspected it was something like this. Without the likes of the Vale being part of the LL back in 2013 then we probably still wouldn’t have a pyramid of any sorts. Club yes but it’s certainly not the same team. They ended up with only about half a dozen players left in March 2023 after their 3rd manager of the season left. Last season proved to be extremely challenging. A few came and went but on the whole everyone fought on all season long and stuck together when it would have been easy to say this is sh*te I’m off. It will probably disappoint you but the club is on a pretty sound footing. The manager and core of players will stick around for another year and see if they can add a few and compete in the 2nd Division. I don’t think I’ve met a friendlier hardworking committee and it’s a good place to visit. You should get yourself down next season .

What’s @superbigal’s problem with the Vale?
