DJ leaving in January?

So is this mystery manager still available?

Just to rewind to Sadler’s/DJ’s comments when DJ re-signed…

ā€œIt’s been a priority for a long period of time to secure Danny’s signature and thankfully, it has all come togetherā€ā€¦ā€œHe’s desperate to succeed and I’m after players who are hungry to do well and show everything that they’ve got every single day and Danny falls into that category. He’s a fantastic guy, someone I really respect and I’m looking forward to working with him againā€ā€¦

And DJā€¦ā€œMat Sadler made it quite clear he wanted me to come back here and pick up where I left off. I worked well with him on the training ground last year so I know what he’s about".

So the manager we would’ve had refused to come because we were signing DJ? Trivela thought DJ more important signing than the manager they wanted and now they want rid of DJ? All seems a bit stupid to me.

Would this mystery manager happen to be Graham Alexander who turned down the managers job here because he couldnt bring in his own backroom staff and be in charge of transfers?

I can because. As said. it’s not fair on him.
And. yes I Do Know him personally

As for credibility.you can choose. To believe it or not, it’s up to you, but. As those. Who. Know me personally on here will vouch, for I would never tell, lies to fellow Walsall fans.

There are also others on this board. Who know. My. Statement. To be true

If true, it makes Trivela look incompetent and amateurish.

Yes

I’m probably a bit too old school with this, but shouldn’t the board be there to just open their chequebooks and allow a manager and their team to do what they’re employed to do? What’s with this apparent desire for non-football people to have control over footballing matters?

And just to add…they appointed Sadler because he was the only one that would work with DJ, and now he doesn’t want to work with DJ. :joy:

So is it someone previously associated with Walsall FC?

DH has just posted he’s still available so rules him out. Intriguing mystery man…

No Mate.
But I do know he was. Interested. But didn’t know he. Had also refused job.

Pomlett and Gamble as mentors I presume

I’d love someone to be brave enough and say this at the next fans forum. I’d love to see their response.

David Kelly was rumoured to have been offered and accepted the assistant manager role from pomlett, then pomlett told he didn’t have the authority to make the offer then retracted the offer but I haven’t heard of any managers who would have walsall connections.

Alan Buckley, he’s only in his 70s and doing radio stuff. Just as believable.

Heard that Viveash was an option but we didn’t move fast enough before he then signed a four year contract with Cov. Not saying it’s true just what you hear on the grapevine.

You are 100. percent correct. With that statement

And I was. With Someone. When ned. Called. Him to. tell him what had gone on

But Ned is. not the guy offered. The managers job.
