His appointment seemed a good thing at the time.
If a club at our level has a decent manager you have to ask if the wage of a DOF can be justified.

@GabSutton hasnāt held back here
Imagine thatāll get deleted soon enough, needed an allegedly or two
"I canāt wait to get going,ā he said.
āItās a fantastic football club, I remember playing against them many years ago, Paul Merson was in charge so that does go back a while.
āIt is a club that wants to go in the right direction and that was key for me.
āI am bringing in togetherness. Every single team that I have been a part of, there has been a real togetherness.
āI am going to make sure that that is throughout the football club.
āI know Jamie (Fullarton) is really big on that, and again that was one of the principles that I was really impressed with so I canāt speak highly enough of him on that.
āWe have a very vocal group of supporters and we want to try and get more feet inside the stand on match days and we can only do that by winning games.
āI am sure that with them behind us and with everyone pulling in the right direction, we will have a good end to the season."
This is what Flynn said when appointed. It would seem it didnāt take long to figure Fullarton out. With full control over who he signs and gets rid of in the summer, fingers crossed we show gradual improvement as he has more than proved himself in this league.
Presumably he will have also resigned as a board member and this will be updated soon:
Walsall FC Board Members
Blimey.
Dangerous to say without proof.
He has had a lot of allegations since he started with us and none proven.
Could simply be a job out of his reach . Dangerous and unfair to destroy a manās reputation and character without facts
Seems heās fairly confident with the accusations

Has something come to light that gave Pomlett no choice but reading his exit statement does not suggest it.
Iām indifferent to the fact that he has gone. Itās far too soon to be able to say whether he has made a positive impression at the club.
What does concern me is the instability again. Chopping and changing of key personnel is not good. It also, of course, leaves us once again in the position that pomlett said he wouldnāt want us to be - that the manager could leave us and create a completely unstable situation with no continuity. And rest assured that if flynn does do a good job here, offers will be in for him from above.
Just saw this posted on social media. This summer will be an interesting one.
Edit - Interesting to note the reaction on social media, Paul Joannou, Shay Willock and Alfie Bates have liked posts from either the club or other accounts, or I may just be reading too much into things.
Hahahahahaha.
Good news!
Would say a Pomlett success personallyā¦realised the screw up and put it right. The only negative for me is the wasted year.
Great news!
I know lots on here thought a DOF was a great idea but I just donāt get it at this level.
Just get a decent manager and give him full autonomy.
Looks like thatās whatās happened now thank god.
The one they stated would happen before the end of the season
Good riddance!!
As much as many will praise Pomlett for this course of action I personally donāt think it reflects well on him again. If even a modicum of what Fullarton is āallegedlyā supposed to be like is true it shows a pretty poor judgement of character.
Removing the person you brought in for continuity and stability, that brought footballing knowledge to a board that lacks this, 12 months to the day of this speech on 14th April 2021 smacks of cluelessness.
Didnāt stay long at Halifax and Notts County and not liked by the fans at both. Not lasted a year here. Who would want to take him on now?
Pretty much my feeling. Fair play on biting the bullet and getting rid but itās a long line of appointments now that have turned sour.
Well, Iām glad heās f***ed off. His squad is nothing but a failure, his managerial appointments were firstly a failure and secondly a coverup and complete 180 of all the bullshit heād spouted to that point. Glad to see the back of him.
Exactly. Complete failure.
Only at Walsall.
