During your 5 years in control our beloved club has gone backwards, our reputation as a professional club is severely damaged because of your treatment of players & staff, our comercial revenue is questionable as more & more allegations are creeping out by the day, you have turned away investment, publically turned away investment & new owners whilst trying to recoup a completely unrealistic price for the club which you have seperated from the ground, something history shows is never good for business.
On the pitch following one promotion we have since regressed to our lowest position since the early 80's and currently we are in danger of dropping into non league oblivion. All while you sit blaming everyone but yourself.
The breakdown in trust between yourself & the supporters is broken beyond all repair, the goodwill you once had is lost & you are now a figure of hate & derision. It doesnt have to be like this.
We would now like to see the following to happen from yourself:
1- Publically acknowledge you have failed in your mission & apologise to fans.
2- Formally put the football club & ground together as one with an official public asking price that reflects the assets of the club (your investment is not an asset no matter how much you have put in)
3- Actively invite previous local consortiums to submit bids should they wish to renew interest, this should be extended to parties interested at the point of administration 5 years ago.
4- Actively continue to engage with the supporters club to create a clear & transparent pathway to a positive future for Port Vale Football Club

Norman you have done nothing apart from turn our beloved Port Vale Football Club into the laughing stock that it is today.....What happened to you funding the push for promotion and a place in the Championship?? If anything you have taken this club Backwards to a worse position than it was in when you purchased it.....You promise this and you promise that but these promises have never come to fruition because all that ever comes out of your mouth is nothing but pure lies....I could say a whole lot more but I am being polite but I will say one thi g....Get Out of OUR Club and Get Out NOW.......Black and Gold until it's sold
You have failed.You could have had it so good we got promoted due to MA when you first joined.That promotion was NOTHING to do with you.But you lapped up the glory.You had a great chance to add and improve the squad in January last year when in a higher league .You failed to do so and the same happened this year.This is why were are where we are.Accept that you have failed.Accept the fact that the club is no where near what 'YOU' value it at.Put the club up for sale and accept the offer which is best for the club as you have said that you would do. Not what is best for 'YOU'.Then climb into you Tesla (the one you said you would forgo).Start the engine and head back home.PS Don't bother to wave goodbye.
Norman you had the best interests at heart when you took control, but please acknowledge that it's failed and you tried. We appreciate you tried but now it's gone too far ! We have never had a massive support base but week by week it's dwindling we are now in a massive hole that only financial backing will get us out of. Please do the right thing by the loyal supporters and move on !! Been selfish and stubborn will only end with our club going into non existence within the next couple of seasons with yourself at the helm.
Thanks for what you have done but it is time to move on. You have got the Hugill money now sell at a reasonable price.
Please Norman, accept this isn’t working and move on. I recognise the good times, the promotion but we’ve been in freefall ever since. Step aside and let someone else take control
Clear off you snivelling disease, and never darken our doors again.
Please go for the sake of are beloved club
