    Port Vale just sacked their manager, ahead of Tuesdays match at Ipswich.

    Reading on twitter loads of their fans aren't happy with him being sacked. They'd rather get rid of our old mate David Flitcroft as DOF with how poor he's been at recruitment. Calling players gutless etc...

    They have 4 players suspended due to red cards in their last 3 games

    Apparently Port Vale had no choice as this was decreed from Portman Road.

    A new manager bounce might keep Port Vale within 4 goals of Ipswich.

    This is probably why Ipswich haven’t demanded the game being postponed to avoid new manager bounce:)

    They’ll need it. They’ve never won at Ipswich.

    Be surprised if they lose by less than 4 goals. I'd love to be proved wrong though.....

    Hope the FA have appointed a ref to Ipswich's liking too...you never know what could go wrong even though Vale have no manager and 3 regulars out!!

    Heard they are going down the one of our own route and getting Robbie Williams and Phillip Douglas Taylor and Co Head coaches.

    Ipswich have written to the EFL requesting they ban any "new manager bounces" unless it's in Ipswich's favour.
