Following the news that he'd become Walsall's new Head Coach, Michael Flynn has spoken to the club's media men and discussed his delight at agreeing terms on a deal until the summer of 2024.
Flynn, who enjoyed a 250-game spell as manager of his hometown club Newport County, admitted he can't wait to get going as he looks to help the club avoid an unwelcome visit to the National League as they have won just one of their nine games in 2022.

Speaking via the club's official website, Michael said; "I can’t wait to get going. It’s a fantastic football club, I remember playing against them many years ago, Paul Merson was in charge so that does go back a while.
"It is a club that wants to go in the right direction and that was key for me. I am bringing in togetherness.
"Every single team that I have been a part of, there has been a real togetherness. I am going to make sure that that is throughout the football club.
"I know Jamie is really big on that, and again that was one of the principles that I was really impressed with so I can’t speak highly enough of him on that.
"We have a very vocal group of supporters, and we want to try and get more feet inside the stand on match days, and we can only do that by winning games.
"I am sure that with them behind us and with everyone pulling in the right direction, we will have a good end to the season."
