Double joy at Vale

Not only can Port Vale fans celebrate last night’s Carling Cup victory at QPR, there is a real prospect of new investment at the club.  Mike Newton, who works for a New York hedge fund ,is prepared to put in £400,000 which would be small change at a Premiership club but could make a real difference at League 2 level.  However, he does want to become chairman and at the moment all that is on offer is a seat on the board.
