He phoned Oxford 30 minutes before the window shut and asked for the guy that he had seen score 1 goal against us in the trophy. Desparation tactics.

Correct - Walsall has been run as a Business first and a football club second for about 15+ years

Yep, he knew that was coming, but he also knew the vale job might be coming as well, so I donāt think that he was particularly arsed anyway.
Correct the phone call was around 7.40pm Iām lead to believe and all this knowing full well he was a gonna.We should have been offering clubs a couple of hundred thou as soon as Heartās started sniffing around shocking management at the time it was like he knew he would ā ā ā ā off after Elijah was sold and thought āyou know what if your selling my best forward Iāll replace him with a piece of ā ā ā ā to get you backā then weeks later off he drives into the sunset leaving this mess behind.

I feel a bit sorry for Dutton, at least Smith, when he took over, was able to bring in some loan players and frees, Jordan Cook and Julian Gray I think and possibly Ledesma?

With duttons current record and ā potential ā where would you currently put him on Walsall top managers list?
For now his just below Mullen for me but I can see him above smith and money in 5 years time

Thatās the first time Iāve heard an admission that draws will be good enough to keep us up from him.How are we going to contain ourselves when we witness this entertaining football??.Iāve seen a slight change if Iām honest we do pass the ball around at the back under no pressure but I donāt really class that as entertaining.

Odd stuff to say to the press, especially when you havenāt won a game in 13. Rather he just said; āEverybody is working hard to improve and achieve the couple wins that will see us safeā.

āBut, itās a very poor mentality to try and set up to draw games and get over the line in that manner.ā
I literally donāt know what to say to this! Itās like he has forgotten the last 13 games. Barring the last game, that we still didnāt score in, Iām not convinced Brian has set the team up to go and out score the opposition. More to nullify them and keep a clean sheet and save a point. The mind boggles!
