Port Vale have been put up for sale following their defeat in the FA Cup at Exeter on Saturday. Chairman Norman Smurthwaite has pumped in 800k since he took over, initially with a business partner in 2012 and then as sole owner from 2013.
He clearly thinks he has not got value for money with Burton Albion topping the table on a 30 per cent smaller budget.

It was emphasised by Smurthwaite that this is not a distress sale with the club in no danger of going bust.
