Port Vale boss Micky Adams claims his current budget is a 'bottom six' one for League One. The side have sold 5,000 season tickets for their return to the division, with owner Norman Smurthwaite promising to increase figures to stop the Valiants from returning back to League Two. They have been linked with Macclesfield defender Thierry Audel, who is out of contract at Moss Rose.

Barnet face ongoing concerns from residents about the first team's move to play games at their Hive training ground. Local Harrow MP Bob Blackman has organised a meeting, in addition to one this week from the local residents association, over concern about parking, noise, and other complaints.

Coventry's Administrator has had four firm bids for the club by yesterday's deadline. Miscreant owners SISU have lodged a bid, but it is unclear whether a proposal from ground owners ACL was also submitted in time.
