I thought Poundland weren't impressed with the robustness of the Walsall season, stating that they didn't reflect the quality and longevity that their products are renown for...

DO, I believe Poundland was a three year deal that just expired.

Wonder if they will get as good one again or as relatively high profile.
JaW - Smith may have apparently been our highest earner

If so, sure we could do better
Spartan - all the right letters - just not necessarily in the right order!

Up to now shares have not been an investment but a donation. I still value my shares at zero. Were JG's ideas put into practice and successful then maybe people would start to see it as an investment, I imagine the secondary market would become more active over time.

Cope is keeping his cards tight if we’re signing Smith long term. His comment doesn’t come across as positive.

Spartan was very pleased to meet Trigger at Grimsby and County away 😉

Just been on Walsall OS - Poundland have ended their sponsorship deal. Also saw an article headed 'End of Season Sale' - but this was not their retained player details, just the 'Play Off' items reduced to clear in the club shop!

I suspect Morgan Williams was a tough call and Ryan McLean was unlucky with injuries. James Ball will do a good job at his new club - probably L2 or at worst NL - always looked good in a Dons shirt, but if was on JJ's naughty step, then no point retaining him. Biler might yet prosper elsewhere - has raw talent, just needs guidance, imho.

Karen at 10.26 - don't worry Karen, Trigger has that affect on most women. 🫣😉

There seems to be a misapprehension that a loan to the Club (via the bonds) is real "skin in the game". These loans rank above shareholders and frankly it is difficult (albeit not impossible) to envisage a situation where all or most of these loans couldn't be recovered in a winding up scenario. Real "skin in the game" is equity investment. I wouldn't be impressed by a company who's board had directors loans...I would be impressed and take some confidence if they had equity at stake.

Feel bad for Ryan McLean which was, I guess, a gamble that didn't quite pay off (I say quite because he did make two significant contributions at least - the goal against Coventry which got us the Chelsea game and also created the injury time limbs against the moaners from Mansfield. Poor lad got injured at the wrong time.

R_B - quite possibly (if not probably) some first teamers in the season just gone will find themselves as bench warmers in 25/26

That's why I won't be surprised to find a couple of contracted players move on to somewhere like Barnet
A few on that retained list are going to have to step up next season or they won't be playing very much.

Aideen - Re your question yesterday, I'm told hospitality season tickets should be going on sale this time next week.

I do feel for footballers and managers/DOFs this time of the season. Especially those who have just won the playoffs. A few hours to celebrate and then bang reality hits either in terms of being released or realising what a task you've got ahead of you to be ready for the division above.

Mark - I think Isaac is at the end of his contract but has an option to extend which has been triggered, ie we want him to stay.

OI, that's a good summary and fair criticism. That's one of the reasons I'd like the DTB to be meet more often, be more involved and behave more like the owners' representatives we are.

Appreciate that not everyone is lucky enough to have the time I do though.
KD/Mark - it's more than being offered, their contract is extended a year. Sometimes it's triggered by playing a certain number of games, sometimes it's just up to us whether we want the extra year or not.

OI - as below, I guess if we'd still been in L2 we might have kept him, but obv could also just have been a judgement on his development.
Leadon - It usually means a player played enough games to be automatically offered a new contract.

Didn't Ball have a "reputation" at Rochdale as well?

Morgan Williams is odd. He was seen as our next homegrown midfielder a year ago. Was his performance on loan not good enough? Has he injury issues?
