The bloke will be a complete liability and was totally useless as a manager the last time he was here.

When he was last here as a Walsall manager? Were you watching the same team? We played the most exciting, attacking football that I can remember since I started watching walsall in 1980.
Or when he was an opposing manager? Maybe.
OK I'm a little sceptical about his recent record, but its his homecoming and if he can pull it out anywhere, it will be at Walsall. You don't become a bad manager overnight - he did well in his first spell at Grimsby with a similar financial backing to us. Let's wait and see.

The one thing I worry about is that if his record with other clubs has been a little haphazard.
He will however always be a true Walsall hero - and any young 'uns who bad-mouth him will be on the receiving end of some vitriolic comments from me!!!

Same here!
I don't care if we hardly get any points (within reason), he is the true lord and master of Walsall FC.
Nay-sayers and heretics will be destroyed.

So what did the so called "exciting and attacking" football achieve then?
He was clueless tactically as well.

Buckley has never been relegated in nearly 30 years as a manager. Frankly at this stage if he could guarantee that when he leaves us we will not have been relegated and will be higher in the league than we are now, then I am prepared to settle for that.
But Buckley has not just been good at avoiding relegation. He has taken his lower league teams on three trips to Wembley, the most recent last spring. He has won three promotions, so I would not rule out him doing the same at Walsall, provided he is given long enough to establish his own squad of players.

Cheap Option - YES! definately.
Stayaways Come Back - NO! defiantely.
Buckley Successful as a manager - NO! never.

True, we may get a few results when he comes, bu when the honeymoon period is over, I guarntee the bloke will be a complete flop and people will be calling
for his head by the end of the season.
Well done JB, yet another total disaster.
You are a DISGRACE to Walsall football club.
