Port Vale v Swindon matchday thread

[TheDukeOfBanbury]

Why can’t they go public?

Maybe the perspective buyer(s) don’t want to go public or be in the spot light.
Equally why pay more than what the club is really worth.

That was a tough afternoon.
Second all over the pitch,

Kennedy Quote:
" We are not gonna come to places like Port Vale and win 3-0."

Seriously, this bloke has to go. No fight, no ambition.
No wonder the players can't create any chances, his attitude has rubbed off on them! 

We should be wanting to win every game 3-0 and climb up the table.

Incredibly, if you delve into the dim & distant history of STFC (7 yrs ago), you find that things like this actually happened once.  Some of us even remember it.

Port Vale 0-3 STFC

How do you think we can get them out duke? This carries on we are down

[Steak supper]

 forget the trust. need to set up a pressure group doing protesting and generally meddling.

[Ardiles]

I can only assume that after the Trust’s survey and open letter than they’ve been “spoken to” by Adam Hart and Austin, because there is no other excuse for the silence. At least Reading have a fan base united against the ownership to cling onto. The Trust gave me some hope of upping the ante with that letter, but it’s back to the status quo. They’re observers to the slow but steady decline.

They should be out finding a buyer, speaking to Fitton, anyone, who can connect them with interested buyers.

Their last social media post on Twitter was 2 weeks ago.  A retweet from the Women's team thanking them for sponsoring the game.  There's so much wrong with this, that you barely know where to start.  I'm not sure the Trust know why they're there any more.  I certainly don't.

Honestly don’t know mate.
Fair play to your comms to the Trust. They should be the one voice to get any momentum going.

Our fanbase appears to want to sit back and just watch us slide backwards.
Can keep on spreading the message. Crowds will fall further and only knows how the Chancers react to that.

Needs proper protesting doesn't it, problem is half of us have gone past caring

To be fair it's a very long way to go to tarmac a drive.

Condolences to Jeff King and his family.

But bloody hell, could the club have picked a worse time to tweet about it then straight after the final whistle. Obviously trying to deflect criticism after the result. Should have been done straight after the team was announced.

One of my very early red flags with Kennedy was before a ball was even kicked.

He said something along the lines of he wants to pick up a point away from home and win our home games.

it might not seem like much, but i've always hated the mentality of playing for a point away from home rubbish. especially when we should be a big club at this level.

and you saw how we played today. very much came for a point. he even used the phrase ' hoped we could nick something!!! '

Sounds awful but that was my first thought after they tweeted it, felt like a deflection.
Kennedy could have been mentioned it during his press conference on Thursday.

Kennedy saying we’re not going to win 3-0 there really winds me up. It’s Port fucking Vale, not Man City.

Why do we position ourselves as minnows in this league? It’s like a managed slide into non-league. It’s almost as if they’re happier with the lack of scrutiny there will be on where the money is coming from and going to in the NL.  I’ll save the FL Regulator the trouble. We’ve got a (non) director that’s a convicted money launderer, and one (non) director that is a convicted drug dealer.

Sounds like it's time for THE SOLIDS

Are you not entertained you sod

I think that would work 10 years ago, but not now. Too many who cared enough to protest have voted with their feet and are long gone. What were left with are many who don’t engage with the club during the week and just turn up at weekends to see a kickabout.
