Reports – John Rudge linked with Port Vale return
BBC Radio Stoke reporter Lee Blakeman says he has heard “strong rumours” that John Rudge could be appointed in a Director of Football role at Vale Park.
Former manager Micky Adams was hotly tipped to take the Director of Football role but this week he told the Sentinel he would not be returning to the club.
72 year-old Rudge is widely regarded as the club’s greatest manager by many fans and his return to a role at the Valiants would be welcomed by many fans.
If, as expected, Neil Aspin is appointed as the next Port Vale manager, Rudge would act as mentor to someone he signed as the then Port Vale manager.
