Walsall FC: Fans react to Chris Hutchings sacking
Walsall FC manager Chris Hutchings has been sacked by the club along with assistant manager Martin O'Connor.
This was the reaction of Saddlers' fans on Twitter.
@Lisa_loop said: "At last.. Walsall sack O'Connor and Hutch"
@Gurdo said: "Bring back Sir Ray Graydon or Colin Lee or Chris Nicholl or Alan Buckley or Dickie Dosh."
@Moorey72 said: "Hutchings fired from the #saddlers. Not exactly a surprise but who will replace him???"
@chrisquinn3 said: "Surprised it's taken #saddlers this long to sack Hutchings. Should of taken step earlier with Jan window now open. Time running out.
@DanWalsallFC said: "HUTCH IS GONE!!!!! :D WE ARE STAYIN UP!!!"
@theonprice said: "Let's get alan knill to the #saddlers."
@jonofanfan said: "It's long overdue. Been an awful season so far. It will be very interesting to see what happens next."
Walsall fan, Gurdip Thandi, via email, said: "Given where the Saddlers are in the table and how they’ve performed this year, his sacking has hardly come as a surprise. The only thing that I am surprised at is that it’s taken this long.
"Results have been poor, an already small crowd has been diminishing further by the game and there is a horrible feeling of apathy – since around October, people have been seriously predicting relegation and nothing since has given supporters any reason to think the club will survive.
"It’s never nice to see a manager sacked. Chris Hutchings is a decent bloke and Martin O’Connor a club hero – but the results have been very poor and something needed to be done."
Walsall fan, Dan Gilbert, via email, added: "Who should replace Chris Hutchings? I would personally either like to see Paul Trollope or Martin Allen.
"Paul Trollope, despite this season and dragging Bristol Rovers into the relegation scrap before his sacking he had done a pretty good job there on limited funds, which would probably be the case here!"
