If McCombe and Pope sign deals it will be a major fillip for the Valiants, who will be unable to bring new players into the club until Keith Ryder’s bid is eventually approved by the Football League.
McCombe, the OVF player of the year for 2011 has been a mainstay of the Vale defence, while Pope, the joint OVF player of the year for last season has played the majority of games upfront.
