Richie Wellens for me if we can push the boat out a little bit. Young, plays the ball on the deck, got Swindon promoted and was head hunted by Salford. Would be in hot demand though so it would really be a statement of intent. But would likely go to a league one club like Doncaster.
Shaun Derry? Would very much be a job for mates kind of appointment by Fullerton and his stock is fairly low. But football management is mostly a gamble.
Graeme Jones? Would be a come down from managing in the championship, although poorly.
John Eustace? Was mentioned before on here as someone that Pomlett was supposedly looking at, currently QPR assistant.
Jimmy Shan? Name constantly being passed around on here, sacked from Moors a couple months ago.
Mark Yates? Current Solihull Moors manager, experienced, local
Paul Tisdale? Recently sacked from Bristol Rovers, currently temporary assistant manager to Hayden Mullins at Colchester. Lots of experience at this level, likes to bring through youth, wears a hat
Mark Cooper? Please no
John McGreal? Linked with assistant managers job at Ipswich a few weeks back but that hasn’t materialised. Played good attacking football with an emphasis on youth at Colchester, unfairly sacked in a lot of their fans opinions and a lot of them would have him back now by all accounts.
I’m thinking someone like Mark Delaney from Villa or the ex-Blues Michael Johnson. Don’t think it will be anyone with more league 2 experience than Fullerton.
Cause we’re a bigger club and surely we’re more capable of sustaining what he wants to achieve there. Yes we’re dire atm but new beginnings you could sell it to him. Surely we’re more attractive club than morecambe?
I’d be happy with Richie wellens tbf from that list
The DoF should do what LP should have done when appointing DC. Due diligence. Is he a difficult personality etc etc. Not knocking LP but how was he to know.
If you’ve supported walsall long enough you’ll know not to judge an appointment by the name . Judge them on what they deliver.
Until then speculating is pointless
This will be our most informed managerial appointment (external) since Richard Money
Viveash would be perfect. He’s at Coventry so only down the road, fans fav, good connections with Chelsea and working with youth , would be given time here and everyone would buy into it. I know viveash gets linked every single time but with the dof it won’t be someone massively experienced and viveash would fit the bill perfectly
