A Vale statement read: "We are aware of the 'exclusive' news that appeared in several national news outlets overnight and want to clarify the following:

"Robbie and his team attended the match this past weekend, where he became club president and opened the suite that is now named after him.
"There are a number of positive club projects that both Carol and Robbie are exploring with the intention of anything delivered being in the best interests of Port Vale Football Club.
"As owners of the club, the Shanahan family remain fully committed to Port Vale FC."
