Walsall Manager Sacked!

[e77]

Perhaps the board told him if he didn't beat us he was sacked?

Just had an exclusive:

Micky Adams was seen at the Bescot Stadium this morning talking to officials.

Jimmy Mullen was then dismissed.

Could Micky be on his way?

Funny you should say that, but the day Wilkins was sacked, the Birmingham Express and Star ran an article saying Micky Adams was the favorite to take the vacant job at Walsall.

Adams interest in job at Walsall

Micky AdamsMicky Adams has refused to rule himself out of the running for the vacant Walsall manager’s job, as the club revealed that interviews are yet to begin.

The former Coventry City boss has been out of work since January, after leaving Colchester United following a brief spell as assistant to Geraint Williams at Layer Road, but he is known to be keen to get back in the game as a No 1.

“I’ve had no contact with anybody at Walsall,” Adams said. “But I’m an out of work football manager and I consider all options that are put to me.

“I haven’t applied for the job, but purely because of the fact that I think I’ve got a good CV and people know I’m out of work.”

Adams carved out a reputation as one of the brightest young managers in the business after leading Fulham from 91st position in the Football League to what is now the Championship, before Mohammed Al-Fayed’s takeover of the club.

He followed that up by turning round the fortunes of both Brighton and Leicester and appeared to be doing the same at Coventry until a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Albion started a run of poor form which eventually led to his dismissal.

Saddlers chief executive Roy Whalley said: “There haven’t been any interviews so far, but the matter is under the active consideration of the board and we would expect the process to increase in pace in the coming days.”
