Talking to a Vale mate about him last night he was very impressed and doesn't fancy going up against him. Hopefully that fear is well founded.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Quoted from diehardmariner
Well Marna didn't tear up any trees after that debacle so it might be a case that we got hit by the wrong bullet rather than missing one altogether.

Maybe I was in the minority but I didn't think Serge was that bad.  He wasn't great and his control was a bit dicey but he at least gave us some pace, which we had absolutely none of.  A bit of a low-rate Tom Bolarinwa


He was shite and if what was suggested about his signing was true then the manager that signed him should never be allowed to manage a professional football team again.

Someone mentioned Serge Makofo earlier in this thread. Another underwhelming signing from that time has just popped up at Nat League South side Hampton:

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Isn't the issue more the penny pinching that meant we were relying on a half-arsed scouting system rather than the manager at the time?

You call it "penny pinching", the more sensible amongst us call it "living within your means". There's a big difference between the two statements.

A scouting system identifies potential players and the manager decides if  a/ the players is good enough b/ the manager wants that player.

Nah.. living within your means by just cutting costs gets you nowhere. Sensible investment into scouting systems can reap massive rewards. There are plenty of clubs who do so. Additional investment which brings sustainable growth is much more worthy and viable than just cut, cut, cut. There is helluva lot of validity in the term speculate to accumulate.. if executed properly with well thought out costed medium and long term planning..

So you would like to spend what we haven't got in the hope that we are promoted. Villa, Bolton, Leeds etc have done that and ended up in the third tier of the league and massively in dept. The only reason they survive is because they are too big a club. We wouldn't be so lucky.

Guys (or girls or whatever gender you see yourself as).
This thread is about a new signing. It’s good news as far as I see it.
Let’s not get sidetracked.
UTM 😄


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
