Well Done MMF, Geordie, Joly [and thanks for keeping me in the know], Stu and Neil [& others] for mounting the pressure on the worst manager I've ever known. The club can now move forwards with a proper manager.

Couldn't quite believe what I was hearing from Joly, it seemed like he was stalking him... :lol: ...it's been a strange day, and I'd love to know when the decision was made.

Joly mentioned it might have had something to do with the London Boys / Bruce George getting something going, so well done to them.

Merson, I'd like to say Good Luck. You aint a manager. I just wonder why we have had to be a test bed for what has been a disasterous experiment.

Up The Saddlers

Only one person knows when the decision was made, but Merson was told at 5.30pm today, before hot footing it to the Swan!

Finally Bonser has had the guts to do it. This is a good day in the history of our club and all i hope now is that we can get someone with experience who can come and save our club from relegation and build a team good enough to push us back to the championship!

Great news for Walsall Football Club, the uncertainty about Saturday was getting unbearable.

I'm not going into celebration mode, because I still like Merson as a person (poetry! :D ) and honestly feel sorry for him. It ain't his fault that he hadn't got what it takes, but that's the plain and simple fact of the matter, he couldn't hack it, he must have known it and he should have gone voluntarily some time back, and Saturday night at the VERY latest.

Looking forward to hearing who is going to come in and grab this more-than-adequate squad by the scruff of the neck, tell them the easy ride is over, and lick them into shape to perform for us 100% - home and away.

Onwards and upwards ! :D

I read the opening of this thread just as it was announced that my dinner was ready. I sat eating it offering silent prayers for the rumour to be true.

Oh happy day!

Thank you, Jeff. The best birthday present anyone's ever given me. (Sadly, it's four months after my birthday, but who's counting?)

My birthday on Saturday - what a nice present!

Now perhaps we can look forwards with a little confidence. Good luck to Merse doing whatever he chooses to do after this episode of his life.

time to pop open some bevvies! it is a big relief to say the least. i hope that merse doesnt take it too badly though and can get a job that suits him more now-i appreciated his effort for a while, but glad that we can hopefully get someone in who knows what he's doing know. whats the phrase, something about not being able to make a silk purse from a pig's ear?
up the saddlers!!!

One lad on WM saying we should have kept him to the end of the season and then when Butler said "Who do you want ?" he said "Who's gonna come, we're in a right mess" !

Then another saying he's gutted he's gone because "He's a great bloke to talk to".


Where do we get these numbskulls from ?

That bloke was bloody great wasn't he, listening from afar I thought he was a wind up at first, keep him because he is a nice bloke to talk to.

lol, what are they putting in the water in Walsall?

I feel sorry for Merse but he had to go.

He did help raise the club's profile but was clueless when it came the job of team manager.
