Walsall's Interim Head Coach Mat Sadler has revealed that he expects the club to make a decision on who will take over from Michael Flynn within the next week.

Sadler, who has been in charge for a few weeks after Flynn and assistant Wayne Hatswell were sacked following a string of dismal displays, is among a host of potential new gaffers.

The current bookies' favourite is former Huddersfield Town and Portsmouth boss Danny Cowley, with ex-South Shields gaffer Kevin Phillips also heavily backed to move to WS1.

When asked whether he'll be the one to take the helm, the former central defender simply replied, 'We'll see'.
