Smurthwaite v Fisher (2 Viewers)

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

The Port Vale Chairman has resigned stating that he has "......clearly damaged the club,..... resulting in relegation"
Clearly, at Coventry City, nothing of this nature has happened. Clearly, Tim Fisher is well on the way to achieving his ambitions.

I seen a article saying how the fans wanted him to leave and sell to someone who cares about Port Vale. Don't think things have been well for a while

Fisher will point to the alleged £1million profit we have made and say job done !.......................We might make another £1million next season too but that would also likely lead to a piss poor season on the pitch !

Doesn't he own all the shares though?

We can make all the money we want and brag about being the richest club outside of the football league.

Richest club, but still a mid table budget....

 

[stevefloyd]

More like a mid table budgie

Not sure on the full ins and outs, but seems to hold his hands up as accountable.
Norman Smurthwaite stands down as Port Vale chairman
I thought at the time the foreign manager player route was not a good idea, it didn't work at Orient too.
League one and two don't suit the continental way.

Isn't that the chap the CT kept getting in to tell SISU what they should be doing?

Well one of their fans has set down the gauntlet:
I’ve never met anyone with less idea how to run a football club.

Sure we can beat that... but is Colin related to Sandra?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Couple of interesting quotes in there mind you.

I did not realise what a big asset Micky Adams was until he left us who, in reality, he was much more than just the manager. On his departure I became vulnerable without his structured management of the football department.

But let's remember the club actually ran at a profit in League Two when the fans helped it alongside administrators. It is possible as long as you have sensible management.

Looking forward to our profit next season already...

Wouldn't be surprised to see him pop up alongside Hoffman's next bid if he can sell Port Vale to someone!

Yup, I was thinking that too. He is from Radford in Coventry,

He's in the bicycle spares trade. He only sells seats and handlebars though because he doesn't sell the bottom of the cycle

Obviously never met Tim Fisher then.

It's not Tim's fault or joy.you season ticket holders are the problem.

Can I be blamed too? I only manage to get to a couple of home games a season because of where I live but funnily enough I really like watching the team that I have supported for over 45 years play. If I lived back in the midlands both my son & I would both have season tickets

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The chairman of a club that lost twice to us this season, resignation is the minimum.

Yes he is the one who came over to the coventry fans and applauded them at Port Vale.
Didn't go down well with our neanderthal friends

That's what he would turn an Audi R8 into after 12 months and tell everyone it's in good order.

He'll be bragging that he's breaking even. Trouble is he'll be breaking even the unbreakable parts.

 

[cloughie]

That's what he would turn an Audi R8 into after 12 months and tell everyone it's in good order.

And after 9 years
