Fuccilo wants a bigger striker in their side, suggesting that Stuart Fleetwood and Andre Gray are too similar. Former Bull John McCombe has agreed to a new two year deal at Port Vale, saying he had several League Two sides interested in signing him.

There will be no implementation of plastic pitches in the Football League after talks drew only limited support. Only two League One sides and a handful of League Two clubs backed the plan.
