He does connected to Walsall FC. I think you are confusing who is connected to Walsall FC and who is connected to Trivela, and it’s all irrelevant anyway.
Pomlett and Sadler are connected to Walsall FC. Trivela are their own entity. My point was BOTH Walsall FC AND Trivela have made a mess here, Walsall because we signed a player up just to be loaned out for another year, and got sod all out of him, and Trivela for mistakenly thinking they were due compensation (on behalf of Walsall FC) if another club signed him.
But even if that f*** up was due to Ben Sadler and Pomlett … who keeps them employed?
I wonder how much Trivela thought they were going to make out of DJT? I wonder how much his last 12 months have cost Walsall FC?
Maybe Trivela should tot up those two amounts and “compensate” Walsall FC for their cock up as they did with Drogs Euro money. Then we might be able to pay the going rate for say George Hall or whoever, rather than penny pinching and trying to pay wages conversant with the decade before last.
Ben Sadler should let us know that when Walsall loan or sell a player to Drogheda, Silkeborg or Trivela FC in Togo, it is on exactly the same terms as if it were to any other club.
There is nothing wrong with two friendly clubs in different countries making arrangements that are mutually beneficial, but it would be totally unacceptable for us to be coming off worse in any deal by doing a favour at our expense that we would not do with clubs not owned by Trivela.
There’s a question that is too vague and they can easily fob off with a speculative reply.
The best one to ask is how do they assess what happened in January and why the club consistently comes out of that month weaker than going into it.
What is going to be different next January given another young CF has been signed on loan? I guess the response will be there are 4/5 other forwards on permanent deals.
That’s football. Every club takes a risk, hoping that a player will turn out to be the next messiah. Many players lose their way when they were tying thier shoes but that shouldn’t stop clubs from trying. Incompetence? I don’t know real reasons why they are here, but they are trying and learning.
“How do you justify keeping faith in a head coach who oversaw one of the worst collapses in Walsall’s history?
⸻
“You had a team that sat top of the league mid-season. To crash like that into relegation form—what exactly do you take responsibility for as a board? Or is the message that no one is ever accountable at Walsall?”
⸻
“After the collapse, the poor show at Wembley, and selling our Player of the Season—how can you possibly expect fans to believe promotion is still the plan next season?”
⸻
“Other clubs laugh at Walsall now—because we were gifted a platform for promotion and threw it away. Do you not accept that you’ve allowed this club to become a joke?”
⸻
“You had momentum, you had the squad, you had the support—and you bottled it. What’s actually going to change next season to prevent another season stuck in league 2?”
“What lessons have been learned from this collapse—or are we doomed to repeat the same failure next season with the same people in charge?”
No it’s not. Football isn’t multi club ownership, that is how we and a few others operate. Trivela made the decision to contract a player through us to loan to one of their own clubs, and missed out on compensation because they didn’t sign him through that club in the first place. That is incompetence.
While there is nothing against the rules about us loaning DJT to Drogheda, to me, the fact that we triggered his extension for the benefit of another Club just stinks to me. If Drogheda wanted him, then just sign him.
I don’t know how the finances work with all this multi club stuff, but I’d like to know who paid DJT’s wages while on loan to Drogheda. Let’s assume it was Walsall and DJT is on what 5 or £600 a week. Just how much compensation would you expect for a player like DJT? I would say not a lot, maybe 50k? £100k tops I’d say. Seems a bit ridiculous to me, when you take out the wage contribution for his loan. If compensation was paid, where was it going?
I don’t care that DJT has left us. I think he will never make it, which is why some fans are probably not too bothered about all of this. One day it could be a player that really matters to us, everyone will care then.
