Time for the Port Vale FC Board to move over so Vale can move forward
Sign Now
As most of you know I want to invest both my business experience and personal wealth into PVFC with the goal of taking the club into the Championship within 5 years. Before I invest in anything, I fully appraise the situation against myself to ensure I can add value. I share my appraisal with you here, because I believe it will ultimately be your voice that determines the success of my bid (and by definition the success of your football club) After reading the appraisal I hope you will sign my petition to join me in informing the Port Vale Board that it is Time to move over so Port Vale can move forward

PVFC current situation
Lack of shared short/medium/long-term goals
A Club which currently
* Has accrued over 2 million in losses up to 31st June 2010
* Owes 2.5 million to creditors
* Owes more than its asset value( on current valuation assessment)
* Loses money every week
* At risk of running out of working capital-imminent
* Probably heading for insolvency resulting in existing shareholder value being NIL
* Lacks transparency, what has happened to the one fan/one vote?
* Lost touch with its fans
* Lacking in Sales & Marketing, PR and other key revenue generating areas
* The club has slipped to the lowest league under the Stewardship of its current Directors and has even hovered dangerously close to exiting the league altogether.
* Has just lost its most important asset in Mickey Adams
8 Directors who
* Only own 31\% of share capital yet control the club
* Who collectively have only invested 364k of their own money
* Lack key commercial skills required to turn the situation around
* Lack passion, vigour and fresh ideas.
* Lack cash and/or willingness to invest cash
* Lack ambition
* Lack the collective vision required for modern sports business success.
* A dire track record of failure during their tenure at PVFC
A business which desperately needs
* Commercial input/restructuring
* Debt/financial restructuring
* Cash input used efficiently
* Fresh ideas, energy and drive
* Transparency
* Effective leadership
* A credible plan implemented by credible people
