Next Walsall Manager Thread (Again)

It would only prove that Sadler wasn’t the first choice candidate.

If he was, he’d have been appointed days after the season ended.

I can’t wait for Episode Two of Trivela’s Diary

Yeah that’s fair. I think this is a really tough gig for Sadler, at least when we appointed Smith there was the added comfort of being in League One. If this goes wrong then it could be very, very bad. Saying that, I wasn’t particularly enthused by anyone that was linked to the job.

The big question is whether this decision has been made as a result of a long, calculated process that determined Sadler as the right person for the job, or have we been turned down by a succession of preferred candidates?

I think we all wish Sadler the very best as it’s a hell of a job for a first-time Manager to work within a brand-new footballing structure, implement an attractive style of play, have a big say in recruitment and ultimately have us challenging in the top-half of the division.

Maybe Trivela’s plans going forward, the way we’ll recruit, just a little bit too much for a proven League Two manager who has seen and done a lot in this league which has left us with a man desperate for a first go so will accept anything Trivela want to implement…

As I said before, it’s the cheap yes man.

There was a time this sentence would have been very funny! The respective gap between the clubs these days makes it a very uncomfortable thought

I don’t know why you are singling me out?. It’s like you are stalking me and it’s scary. Are you reading all the other reactions. Tell them off as well!!!

The summer fans focus meeting will be interesting if this is all true :joy:

I don’t think the club would appoint Sadler without some proper support and new appointments at different levels in the organisation.

But then again… this is Walsall FC. Which is what I fear most.

It’s going to be Sadler and Steve Guinan isn’t it ? :joy:

Or we go down the Tranmere route and announce a big name DoF to soften the blow. If this is true, it could be that the established managers interviewed just couldn’t agree to the way Trivela want to operate.

And I bet you’d still sit there clapping, telling anyone who dare criticise to go and support someone else if we ended up in the same league as them.

You’ve just done your very own ‘go and support Luton, Rotherham or Bournemouth’ post. Well done :man_facepalming:

With the amount of managers linked, it wouldn’t surprise me if Brian Barry Murphy had the job by 10am in the morning.

Followed by David Artell at 2.

And Mat Sadler again by 5.

If it is Sadler then I’ll say it now I’m really happy with this appointment (I can’t wait to get hounded) :roll_eyes: he knows the club he knows what the fans want to see. Lots of contacts and certainly knows the league. Clear plan after Flynn left and motivated a deflated squad. Let’s not also forget that he was the man who orchestrated some vital points just before Flynn took the reins against high ranking teams in our division.

Everyone else is fairly reasonable regardless of which side of the fence they’re on. I may not agree with them but I respect their opinions.

You spam threads day after day so you’re fair game to target.

What are the chances that Sadler isn’t the first candidate? Maybe we’ve tried to get someone else (Collins maybe?) and they’ve just laughed their way out of the door at what we’ve offered them

Your totally wrong. I’ve had 197 likes to posts in the past 3 weeks. There are lots of people who agree with me and I agree with them. If you bothered to read my posts they aren’t all negative. I was complementary after the Leicster and Doncaster games re how the team played. You just seem to follow me in almost an obsessive way just simply to hurl abuse. I hope it will stop

Goodnight Westie.

Even if it doesn’t happen you’ve provided some entertainment this evening.
