Another look at the global hysteria surrounding the Saddlers in the off season.

Stafflers goes global
The BBC website has posted a whole host of it’s favourite football quotes for the past season, and pitchside announcer Stafflers’ talent has definitely been noted, as he appears twice in the list, more than any other club’s mic man. Well done! Link: talent to the world

Sun Tan Man Special?
We’re being linked with an un-named Ghanaian player, currently plying his trade in France. The interweb has a handy page for this sort of thing, so here is the link: isn’t technology wonderful? .

Hopefully the player will be decent, cheap and happy to come to Walsall. As English is the national language of Ghana he’s bound to have problems fitting in, so we’ll have to make allowances for that as well as the Winter weather.

New Saddlers Executives
Congratulations to two members of the Saddlers staff who’ve been kicked upstairs. Communications Manager Daniel Mole (not 13 3/4) has been made Assistant Club Secretary, while Andrew Poole, who’s been the website/programme editor, is the new Communications Manager.

Andrew’s role is made easier as there’s certainly less fans to communicate with, whilst Daniel’s appointment should free up some time for the current club secretary, one KR Whalley (not the author of Fly Fishing), to concentrate on his other jobs of Commercial Director and Chief Executive.

We’ll bring you news of the appointment of a Marketing Manager just as soon as we hear anything.

There may be trouble ahead…
But while there’s Whalley, and Bonser, and players from France, let’s watch the Saddler and dance…

One trusts that there was no money in the budget for a pay rise for either of the aforementioned young men at the club, after Whalley has apparently warned of lean times ahead.

Of course, the lean times referred to were spun by one of our local papers, when what Roy actually said was that the club is well placed compared to many others. Well done to the Excrete and Stir for slapping Walsall FC again. Dingle lovers.

That’s all for now.
