2008–09 Port Vale F.C. season
Encyclopedia
The 2008–09 season was Port Vale
's ninety-seventh season of football in the Football League
, and first season in League Two
, following their relegation from League One
. After a poor start to the season manager Lee Sinnott
was sacked in September, and was replaced by Dean Glover
. Despite a brief period of improvement, Vale then slipped back down the table to finish in eighteenth place. The team were also poor in the cup competitions, exiting the FA Cup
at the Second Round, and both the League Cup
and the League Trophy
at the First Round. Marc Richards
was the club's top scorer with eleven goals, and goalkeeper Joe Anyon
was Player of the Year despite breaking his leg towards the end of the season.
sign former Hereford United
defender John McCombe
, and former Middlesbrough
midfielder Steve Thompson
. Both players cited Sinnott as their reason for joining the club. He also added experienced defender Sam Stockley
(Wycombe Wanderers
); midfielder Anthony Griffith
(Doncaster Rovers
); and attacking midfielder Louis Dodds
(Leicester City
) to the squad. Lee Collins
also joined on an extended loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers
, and would sign a permanent contract with the club in January. Stockley was appointed captain, and most of these players would become key for the club over the next few seasons. Just before the season's start, teenage Tom Taiwo
also arrived on a month loan from Chelsea
, as did Plymouth Argyle
youngster Damien McCrory
. The club was aiming for an immediate return to League One
, and fans got behind the club with record high season ticket sales of over 6,000.
The season started well in August, but all four league games in September ended in defeat. However Sinnott refused to compromise his managerial philosophy in order to pick up results. A 4–1 home defeat to Macclesfield Town
on 20 September would prove to be Sinnott's last game in charge. Sinnott was sacked on 22 September, with the Valiants in 16th place, Dean Glover
taking over as caretaker manager
for the second time in twelve months. The players were against the decision to axe Sinnott. Sinnott would later take court action against the club for a breach of contract, and settle out of court. Glover was appointed as manager on a permanent basis on 6 October. A win at Shrewsbury Town
instigated a run of four away wins out of five. However Vale soon returned to their poor form, and slid back down the table. At the end of October, former Vale star Dave Brammer joined on loan from Millwall
, and would join permanently in the January transfer window. The next month Scott Brown
also arrived on loan from Cheltenham Town
, and would also join on a permanent transfer two months later. This is also what happened with defender Gareth Owen, who arrived after leaving Stockport County
following a bust-up with Jim Gannon
. Notts County
player Neil MacKenzie
also joined on loan, but would not enjoy his short stay in Stoke-on-Trent
. Attempts to bring back Chris Birchall
on loan failed. Leaving Burslem
was Chris Slater
, who returned to former club Chasetown
. In December, Andy Porter
left the club's backroom staff after seventeen years at the club, highlighting the unrest in the camp. Both Porter and Mark Grew
had turned down offers to become Glover's assistant.
In January, striker Luke Rodgers
was released from his contract after a bust-up with manager Dean Glover, and immediately signed with Yeovil Town
. Shane Tudor
retired due to injury on 21 January. As well as the permanent signings of a number of loan players, Glover also brought in Pakistan international
Adnan Ahmed
on loan from Tranmere Rovers
. Glover stated the club's revised aim was a top-half finish. In February, Glover signed Carlisle United
striker Kevin Gall
on loan. He failed to score in seven games with the club, and returned to Carlisle after picking up a calf injury. In March, Kyle Perry
was allowed to join local non-league side Northwich Victoria
, after being told he had no future at Vale. In his place came loanee winger Paul Marshall
from Manchester City
. On 23 March, Anyon broke his leg at Saltergate in a defeat to Chesterfield
. With Vale going eight games without a win, Glover admitted he was 'a dead man walking', and implored the fan's not to boo his son
. Fans protested against both the board and the manager. The final game was a 2–1 win over Barnet
at the Underhill Stadium
.
They finished in eighteenth place with 48 points, 21 points short of the play-offs, and eleven points clear of relegation. Only Accrington Stanley
and Chester City
scored fewer than Vale's tally of 44 goals. With fourteen defeats only Macclesfield Town
and Chester lost more games than Vale. Had Bournemouth
and Luton Town
not faced point deductions then Vale would have finished in twentieth place. Marc Richards
was the club's top scorer with eleven goals in all competitions, whilst Louis Dodds
also contributed ten goals.
At the end of the season most of the playing staff were retained, though Scott Brown returned to Cheltenham Town, Kyle Perry was released and signed with Mansfield Town
, and Dave Brammer had to retire after Chairman Bill Bratt
informed him via voicemail that he would not be offered a new contract. Youth team graduate Paul Dixon was not offered a new contract. Dean Glover, unpopular with the fans, was also informed that he would not be retained as manager for the following season, and left the club permanently after he rejected the opportunity to remain as a youth coach. A slow uptake of season ticket sales was one major factor in Glover's sacking. Following Glover's departure the club withdrew their contract offer to Paul Edwards
, who went on to play for Barrow
. However Player of the Year Joe Anyon
stayed at the club, despite claiming other clubs were interested in his signature.
. With talks of fresh investment from shirt sponsors Harlequin Property
came rumours on the internet
that the company were planning to demolish Vale Park
and build a supermarket
, paying off Bratt to ensure his compliance. Bratt passionately denied these accusations, seemingly angered by the suggestion and claimed that if he were to comply with the protesters demands and remove himself and the rest of the V-2001 directors from the Board, then the club would fold as bank
s and creditor
s would seek their money. He also reiterated his prior statements by stating that he would be prepared to leave his position if the right offer were to be made.
, Vale advanced past Huddersfield Town
with a 4–3 win at the Galpharm Stadium
, Dodds hitting a brace. They then were knocked out by Macclesfield Town
at the Second Round stage with a 3–1 home defeat. This meant the Vale missed out on a lucrative home tie with Premier League side Everton
. Keeper Anyon slammed his defenders for their part in the defeat.
In the League Cup
, Vale were defeated 3–1 by Championship
outfit Sheffield United
at Bramall Lane
.
In the League Trophy
