Darren Moore

[Campsall rover]

With 4 losses and a draw against his name already, I wonder if the chairman at PV is now reflecting as to whether the 5 and a half year deal he gave DM was a little excessive...

I note they play Leyton Orient in a week also - should be a good battle of wits between 2 ex-Rovers managers...

5 yr contract. Are they mad.
How much will that cost them when they want sack him.
Quite unbelievable. Some clubs are really their own worst enemies.   

[dknward2]

Hope for their sake they have a relegation release clause or maybe they have a clause of if we sack you 2 year pay off no matter when it happens but if another team comes in vale get a 4 year pay out or whatever is left

After just six games I have had enough the waffle coming from DM's mouth every pre/post match interview.

I never bought into the non rousing speech before the game. I said the game would be over after ten minutes. It so predictable that I dont bother watching anymore. I go through the motions of reading the post mortem every Sunday though and hope something has changed. I live in hope but accept reality.

[Butchers Red]

Well I hope they keep faith with Judas all the way through next season so we can enjoy tormenting the back stabbing greedy b*stard home and away.

Bitter ?? not me

If only they’d thought to ask us….Sheff Wednesday, Huddersfield Town, Port Vale, in that order!

[Chris Black come back]

0-0 last night against Orient.

[Colemans Left Hook]

with those loan signings from premiership clubs i expected  them to be easily midtable   has Robbie Williams coughed up any money yet ?

[roversdude]

Keep reading that one of their benefactors has just copped for something like £180m

[Chris Black come back]

Lost again, 2-0 to Oxford. Still only 6 points from safety, although time running out for him to get a tune out the side. Just 9 games left. With final game of season against Cambridge, currently occupying the last safety spot.

[Prez]

Has he got something like 2 points from his first 8 games?

[roverstillidie91]

Perhaps we should concentrate on ourselves seeing as we are a league below as it stands

Why should we?
He played a big enough part in us being there and he's looking like showing consistency in his achievements.

[Chris Black come back]

Won his first game today, 1-0 away at relegation candidates Burton Albion.

His record since being appointed is now played 9, won 1, drawn 2, lost 6.

[Jonathan]

He won’t be getting too high with the high or low with the lows

[Chris Black come back]

He had a decent result today, winning 2-0 against mid table Bristol Rovers. Marquis was an unused sub.

This leaves Port Vale one point short of safety and with a game in hand. Three tough games coming up though.

[Chris Black come back]

Lost yet again, 2-0. Still only a point from safety and with a game in hand. He could just get lucky.

[Iberian Red]

He won’t be getting too high with the high or low with the lows

Hits from the bong?

Sing my song, puff all night long as I take hits from the bong.

Just gets worse for Dazza. Lost again last night.

Since he was appointed on 13 February his record has been played 15, lost 10, drawn 3 and won 2, ppg of 0.6 and season equivalent of 28 points. Current loss percentage of 66pc.

Now four points adrift of safety and two games to go.

And they've got Bolton away on Saturday !

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Rotherham should poach him!

[drfchound]

I’m so glad he isn’t with us.

[ravenrover]

This advert has appeared in our village newsletter........ new career?

[Chris Black come back]

Relegated today after losing 2-0 at Bolton. If he and they honour his (five year) contract then Dazza is managing in League Two next season, the lowest level he has ever managed.

[PDX_Rover]

Hahahahahaha

[Chris Black come back]

Drew today 0-0 and finished in 23rd place. Quite an achievement in taking over when they were 21st and level on points with 20th and safety, and going backwards to finish 23rd. Five seasons of his five and half season contract remaining.

Port Fail

[Colemans Left Hook]

i still haven't forgiven Port vale for losing to a bunch of Man United kids making their debuts
and  a hell of a lot of my "unhard earned money" going west

i got silly odds on Port Vlae as soon as I knew Fergie was fielding kids  and it started well 1-0 to the Vale

https://www.port-vale.co.uk/news/2019/august/port-vale-vs-united-1994/

Port Vale meet Salford City for the first time in their history tomorrow afternoon, but this isn’t the first time Vale fans have come across some of their owners, as Paul Scholes and David Beckham made their first Manchester United starts at Vale Park.

In September 1994, Port Vale hosted Manchester United in the League Cup, then known as the Coca-Cola Cup, in the first leg game of a second round game, which saw United win 2-1 with Paul Scholes the star of the show.

18,605 fans piled into Vale Park to see the footballing giants and there star players such as Eric Cantona, Peter Schmeical, Mark Hughes and Paul Ince, but were left angry and disappointed when Sir Alex Ferguson fielded a side made up of youth players.

In that starting line-up, the list of unknown names included Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, Keith Gillespie and making his first start and just second appearance for the club, David Beckham.   

The biggest star to start the match was Roy Keane who played as a centre-half rather than his usual spot in the centre of midfield, alongside David May.

However, all the following day’s headlines were talking about a 19-year debutant named Paul Scholes, who would go on to make 718 appearances for the Red Devils in his illustrious career. 

Vale got off to a strong start against the inexperienced United team, taking the lead after just seven minutes thanks to forward Lee Glover.

The goal came when a Vale corner was headed clear, but only as far as Bradley Sandeman who rifled a shot towards goal which Glover diverted past Gary Walsh with a skilfully placed header to give the Valiants the lead.

Vale could not hold onto their lead however, as after 36 minutes Paul Scholes stole the ball off Dean Glover on the edge of the Vale box and dinked the ball over Paul Musselwhite and into the bottom corner to equalise with his first of 155 goals for the club.

Soon after the break, the young Scholes, who wore the number 10 shirt rather than his iconic number 22 for the game, doubled his Manchester United account to put them into the lead, scoring his first of many trademark headers from a Simon Davies cross.

The game played an important role in future cup ties, setting the precedent of fielding a weakened or younger side for games, something that remains visible in cup clashes today.

The 1,400 Vale fans travelling to Salford’s Peninsula Stadium will be hoping that Scholes and his fellow members of the ‘Class of 92’ will not be celebrating like they did 25 years ago come five O’clock tomorrow evening.
