Chairman responds to Sonner blast
Port Vale midfielder Danny Sonner
Sonner says he deserves more
Port Vale chairman Bill Bratt says he is stunned by midfielder Danny Sonner's criticism of the club.

Sonner slammed Vale's latest contract offer but Bratt believes the financial package put forward is a fair one.

"The manager had faith in Danny to pluck him from Peterborough reserves and to offer him another contract with better terms," said Bratt.

"If he thinks he is on next to nothing he should try working in the pottery industry for 40 hours a week for �200."

Sonner told the Stoke Sentinel the offer demonstrates a lack of ambition by the League One club.

"I deserve a rise and a decent offer. The club wants me to play for next to nothing.

"If they carry on paying Conference wages, then the club is going nowhere. They talk about promotion, but don't want to keep players."
