What a rubbish statement to make about the man who took us over at Gillingham with a team that wasn't good enough for the Rymans Premier and turned it around so that we very nearly made the play offs.
I would class Nobby as one of our top Four managers ever along with Micky Adams, Alan Mullery and Billy Lane.
Whilst manager of Man City he had the best young squad of players in the country Man Utd included. Who made Port Vale a serious contender for the play offs this season?
It was only 'her indoors' who persuaded him to leave us and return to Cheshire where his home is.

If he's so good then why's he at Macclesfield now?

Good luck Nobby!!
It was a fantastic achievement for Nobby to get Port Vale into the playoff zone. Did he ever spend any money at Port Vale? Best of luck to the guy.

good luck nobby,you're far too good for division 3 but best wishes anyway...
Horton inherited John Rudge's signings, that's why he did okay with what he had. If you had watched the team play under Horton and compared that with the Rudge era and even now under Martin Foyle you would understand the Vale fan's comments. He may well have been a hero for you, but he was well below average for us.
Mr "I've never been relegated" failed dismally. Now he is set to do it again. This is the guy who was often quoted as saying "I have no idea what motivates these players" - obviously not you, mate.
A great player for us, but tactically inept as a manager. In Rudgie's day we were a great passing side with inventive wing play. Horton had us trying to whack it up field and chase after it. Am I glad to see the back of that? No thanks.
During the Rudge era we beat several premiership teams and were known as cup giant killers. Under Horton we were beaten by the likes of Scarborough and Canvey Island.
Good Luck Macclesfield, you may need it!!!
