    Sadler also has three years left on his deal! Can they afford to sack him?
    More US dollars spaffed up another football wall perhaps.

    Jellis was as much use as one of those floaty things that end up at Esholt. He spent most of the game whining at the ref. Awful player with little spine .

    Matte absolutely awfully unfit only to be replaced by someone worse than Oliver.

    When you are relying on veterans like Ma
    He had had 13 different clubs,some more than once,so has certainly been around.

    Walsall getting absolute pelters from everyone on twitter. Jordan Gibson seems to be giving it some as well.

    Had to chuckle at this though...

    Well if that’s the case in giving an unproven manager a 4 year deal, it’s ridiculous
    Should’ve been sacked long ago but with that pay off, make no wonder they had to make do

    He signed a three and a half year deal in Jan 2025

    On 7 January 2025, with Walsall sitting top of the league, ten points clear of second place, Sadler signed a new three-and-a-half year contract.[113] Later that week, he was named EFL League Two Manager of the Month for December 2024 having won all six matches across the month.[114]

    I think they gave him a new contract in January due to Plymouth sniffing around. Probably regretting it big time now.

    Hard not to feel sorry for them. Could easily have been us failing at Wembley if it wasn't for their massive implosion.. Chasing another clubs demise not long after you have tasted success has a classless feel to it.

    Love the hypocrisy at times on here if Bradford City have been in Walsall's position (10 points clear) this forum would have been inundated with posters screaming at the club to tie Graham Alexander down with a contract extension before other clubs came sniffing around.

    That’s borderline too long for a top player , a manager should never in a million years in L1/2 be three and a half years in this world. I can’t think of one Dave ?
