It's just like getting to host the World Cup.  You simply have to make the biggest offer to the parties concerned. You put a £10 million signing on bonus on the table and £200k  a week and a house in Barbados and you can get any manager you want.  It is no different from signing Adebayor.  In this world money buys you whatever you want. Try Klinsmann.  He would live in Nelson Street if the money was right.

Prepare for life in the championship lads. At least we can have a target then to get promotion. Could be playing Burton & Walsall next season.

And we could not be.

I don't we're far from a decent side, there's little glimpses there and we certainly have the players to be decent enough. All 6 defeats this season have been by 1 goal and a few have involved fine margins, Richards scores against Sunderland & Stoke, Guzan & Amavi don't brain fart at Palace and we don't fanny around with the ball at Leicester instead of a safety first hoof that ultimately led to their first, and we'd almost certainly be on 11 points.

However until we have a manager that knows his best 11 and what system and style he wants us playing, we're going to be a bit/lot aimless on the pitch. So unfortunately i'm thinking that it's Sherwood that's the problem and is holding the squad back.

I think we will go down this season. Whatever Lerner tries I think has failure written into its DNA post MON.

I was reading an article about Gary Mac this morning and this bit struck me...its pretty damning on Faulkner's part, but not really a surprise given the state of the club...

McAllister said, “I’ve not done the Pro Licence. I was actually doing my A Licence at Inverclyde when I got the text from Paul Faulkner at Villa telling me my services were no longer required."

True enough. There's no guarantee that Walsall will be promoted.
