The latest revelation in the Port Vale saga is that the shares that board duo Peter Miller and Perry Deakin bought were to be funded by Blue Sky. The Sentinel claims to have seen a document that says the pair and Blue Sky's Hank Julicher were acting together to buy the shares - a deal that is against the club's own rules on shareholders. It is those rules that blocked Mo Chaudry's bid to join the board when he and Mark Sims attempted to buy shares between them.
Aldershot have released midfielder Graeme Montgomery. The 23 year old former Dagenham man signed for the Shots in the summer but failed to make a single first team appearance. Kidderminster chairman Mark Serrell has blasted media reports that Northampton have had three bids rejected for striker Jamille Matt. Serrell called the bids 'derisory' and that the press report was designed to unsettle the player. The 21 year old, plucked from Sutton Coldfield Town last season, has netted eight times in their last 14 games.
Port Vale have released full back Rob Kozluk from his short term deal, but have extended the deals for Clayton McDonald and Phil Roe until the end of the season. Veteran Kozluk made 7 appearances since signing in September but has not featured in the last month. Defender McDonald has extablished himself as a regular since arriving on a six month deal in the summer, while first year pro Roe made his senior debut earlier in the season.
Chelsea have recalled keeper Sam Walker from his loan at Northampton. The decision comes after the Cobblers signed veteran Shane Higgs yesterday.
