Port Vale forward Tom Pope is facing a fresh ban relating to his use of social media after he wrote an allegedly anti-Semitic post on Twitter.

The 34-year-old has already served two one-game suspensions this season over his online activity.

In tweets sent in early January Pope, having been asked to "predict the WWIII result", wrote: "We invade Iran then Cuba then North Korea then the Roth(s)childs are crowned champions of every bank on the planet."
"If I have caused offence to anyone, I'd like to apologise enormously as this was never my intention."
