He seems to be the fans favourite round here to take the Vale job

Planning for the future than taking on an ‘alright’ Conference manager. The bottom three are well adrift already!

Has a Vale connection. Average conference record.

I'm sure Aspin got sent off at BP while playing for Port Vale a few years back (maybe in 98/99 season when we were both in the Championship?).
Aspin is a solid non-league manager. He did consistently well with Harrogate for a number of years but never quite got them promoted, then he took Halifax from where Cleethorpes are to the Conference play-offs in three or four seasons.
Thought he might have done well at Gateshead last season but they fell short of my expectations.
I think it'd be a very sensible appointment for Vale, given their circumstances.

They were last year but they all stayed up. Hartlepool and Leyton Orient had 18 and 14 points after 11 games respectively and went down. We currently have 14. It can and will all change!

I could recommend a "good experienced" manager to them. If he was appointed it would make a good many people happy

Are we taking Kelly and Hooper back?

It would be nice if "the curse of the ex" could work in our favour for a change!

I'm going to have a stiff neck after Saturday then, Aspin loves hoofball as does Slade.

Can I just say that sat represents a lot for us as vale have been v poor thus far this year and it will be a true benchmark as to how good (or i fear, how bad) we are and where we may finish this year assuming we keep Slade
Anyone have a strong view either way on John Sheridan been GTFC manager?
I have a colleague in the know at Oldham and most where sad to see him go?

Bound to lose aren't we. Whatever the run the opposition are on, Town are bound to end it.

With Aspin (& Nogan?) in situ at Port Vale and Rudge as Director of Football the Vale fans will be out in force on Saturday.
Do our players have the stomach to be party poopers?

Aspin and Rudge? Blimey. We should get Tommy Watson back involved.
