It's been reported in the last few minutes that a number of aggrieved Vale fans have doorstepped club directors at Vale Park and are having heated discussions in the reception. Meanwhile, other fans are reportedly en-route to join the confrontation!

lolol the current vale directors are some of the slimiest cunts in the world, the worst of them is that Mike Lloyd, I can't imagine them having the guts to face up to fans.

Blue Sky CEO Statement: "I can tell you categorically that Blue Sky will not be investing in Port Vale Football Club. The deal is dead and has been, in my eyes, for a long time. I simply don't know where these figures of £5 million and £8 million came from. It was never our intention to invest that kind of money into Port Vale. I'd have to be crazy or on drugs to agree to such a thing. By my estimation, the maximum outlay for Blue Sky would have been in the region of $850,000 (the equivalent of about £550,000). The partnership won't be happening. The reason I have remained quiet for so long is that I have visited Port Vale. I have met the people who work there. I have spoken to fans and I've seen the passion. They're good people – honest and hard-working. I don't want to be the guy to punish them or their football club. I'm angry. Really angry. The people I have a problem with are on the board at Port Vale; Peter Miller, Mike Lloyd and Perry Deakin. However, I've received dozens of emails, hand-written letters and phone calls from Port Vale fans recently and so I want to make my position clear: Blue Sky hasn't put any money into Port Vale and won't be doing so. End of story... as for the shares said to have been issued to my wife Margit, and counted in the 'yes' vote for the recent polls to elect Perry Deakin and Peter Miller to the Port Vale board, I know nothing about them and Margit tells me neither does she. In my opinion they are 'ghost stock' – 'phantom shares'. We were supposed to do all these jobs such as the Robbie Williams Suite and then reinvest the money from the profits back into Port Vale. You've seen the contract. The deal I signed back on August 31 was entirely dependent on the club bringing in the money to make these things happen through a variety of sources. Peter Miller talked about lottery funding and other deals they were working on. In my opinion, both I and the club's supporters have been misled."

I don't really give two hoots about the Fail but it does beg the question "what the fuck are the FA doing and does their fit and proper persons test actually exist"?
Didn't Perry Deakin or whatever he is called have some kind of history of dodgy dealing and causing supporter unrest when he was the CEO at Northampton Town?
Having shafted them, he has clearly taken the piss up the road at our very poor, second rate, neighbours.

Some of the best SCFC games and times were when we faced the Vale. I'm sure they will be OK. They are still the same nailed on survivors, just like us. They also wouldn't thank you for your support or sympathy, but maybe a simple appreciation of the situation that their club currently faces (as expressed by many posters here) is unacceptable. Maybe we use our Premiership "muscle" to expose the lying twats in charge that threaten to ruin them. We are not a "united". We are a City. That's 2 teams. One of which is in Europe due to winning games. Mancs are the enemy now, not the Vale.

It won't be long before Praise and Grumble has to move to the Comedy Channel. There's been some great entertainment courtesy of our friends from Burslem on Friday nights just lately.

Its the ideal way to start the weekend. Few beers around the kitchen with the wireless on whilst laughing at the poor bastards phoning in about financial irregularities down at the Vale. I have a feeling that tonights broadcast could be one of the funniest yet.

Does seem somewhat akin to what we suffered with the Icelandics, they promised much and were like a shaft of gold...... until it turn out to be golden piss What is happening at Vale is nothing like what we "suffered" with the "Iceland ics". For a start the Icelanders actually did a rather decent job of buying and stabilising the club when Coates (at the time) had not got the spare cash to take us further. Despite both Coates (in his first attempt at running the club) and the Icelanders having their critics, both parties actually did the right thing by the club. Coates by selling to the Icelanders when he didn't have the cash to take us further and the Icelanders by getting us promoted and in selling the club back to Coates when he had the resources to move us forward. I bet the average Vale fan would love to have his club treated the way Stoke City were treated by the Icelanders and by Peter Coates.

This thread is an absolute classic; www.onevalefan.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=60727If you can't access it, they are trying to organise a protest meeting on Monday night but the confusion of the suggested location is something to behold. And then they accuse the club's directors of not being able to organise themselves ;D

Look, playing Vale in the 90's was a bit like addressing our inner demons. HOWEVER it taught us a right lesson. But we are a two club city. I'd hate to see the Vale gone. Really i would. United are not. "Etihad" means United in Arabic....wankstains, i hope we get both in Europe.
