Can you list the top facts and stats about 2007–08 Port Vale F.C. season?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The 2007–08 season was Port Vale's 96th season of football in the English Football League, and fourth-successive season in League One. Vale finished second-from-bottom and were relegated, some twelve points from safety. Manager Martin Foyle left the club in September, and Lee Sinnott failed to improve results despite making several loan signings. Vale were also knocked out of the FA Cup in the Second Round by Southern Football League side Chasetown, a club five divisions below the Vale. Vale also had no luck in either the League Cup or the Football League Trophy, exiting both competitions at the first stage after a penalty shoot-out. Throughout the season, the club saw a large turnover of players as Sinnott attempted to build a squad of players of his own choosing to prepare for a promotion push the following season.
