Port Vale have been served with a winding-up petition by HM Revenue & Customs over an unpaid tax bill.

It is another blow for the troubled League Two club, who have failed to pay their players' wages this month.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council have been asked to help the Staffordshire club enter administration, which would result in a 10-point deduction.

The club, who are under a transfer embargo, are behind on their loan repayments to the council.

Another creditor could yet apply to put the club into administration before HMRC's winding-up petition is granted.

Vale do not have the number of directors needed, by law, to function properly after former chairman Peter Miller resigned as a director earlier this week,

noooooooo... I went to about 7 Port Vale games last season and have really struck up a liking for them.

I hope they come through this.

I blame those wankers across the city from them.

He caught his misses cheating on him an hour before the game.

It's the only explanation.

Yeah same, The fans of Port Vale are very friendly , unlike their arrogant neighbours on top of that fvcking hill.

This is becoming quite common.

And will become more and more common if football continues along the same path.

But still no one complains about the totally unsustainable spending going on here and the inevitable consequences should the Thais go.

Clubs across the country are run by morons - the solution is a law which demands HMRC get theirs first, that would give everyone a damn good kick up the arse.

I agree.

And a lot of fans only see one side of the coin, someone comes in and buys their club, claims to be filthy rich and starts spending money like it's going out of fashion, and most fans think it's great and dont realise their could be huge risk involved.

Sadly with clubs like Port Vale that is not the case, they are victims of the bigger clubs draining all of the finances from the rest of football.
