Walsall Co-Chair Leigh Pomlett has today insisted Head Coach Michael Flynn is excited by the new ownership but don’t think you’re signing Ronaldo!
Speaking to the Express and Star, Pomlett said
“Michael’s not been here as he’s been on holiday, so I couldn’t ask him to cancel his holiday.
“Ben (Boycott, fellow Walsall co-chairman) and I had a conference with Michael just before he flew away on his holidays. We brought him up to speed then.
“He’s excited, like any manager would be with more financial resources. I’ve said to him to temper his enthusiasm and ‘you’re not going to sign Ronaldo’”
Walsall have currently signed four players this summer following the arrivals of Oisin McEntee, Liam Gordon, Peter Clarke and Joe Riley however the Saddlers need more firepower with only Brendan Kiernan and Devante Rodney currently fit enough to play.
