Port Vale have revealed that Harlequin, the company who are proposed to become a major shareholder in the club, have put £130,000 into the club to keep it running over the last few months. Torquay have made an offer to Histon player Danny Wright, who is one of those frozen out of the club due to contract disputes.
Ten Southend fans have expressed an interest again in buying the club.
