Saddlers boss feeling the pressure
Walsall manager Chris Hutchings admits he is already under pressure to deliver the goods at the Banks's Stadium next season.
The Saddlers boss impressed in his 22-game stint in League One last season, despite failing to improve on the 13th position he inherited after taking over in January.
But, with pre-season just over a week away, Hutchings knows his squad must improve over the summer and make a flying start in August.
He said: "There is pressure to perform straight away. Whether you have a six-month contract or a three-year contract, everyone wants success, but not everyone can have it.
"Whatever club you are at, it is going to have an ambition and a realistic target of where it wants to get to and it takes time.
"What you end up doing is putting yourself under pressure."
Hutchings reckons the pressures on today's modern manager affects every boss in the country.
He saoid: "You could go into a club and half the players you have you don't want, but you can't move them on for one reason or another, whether that is wages or they don't want to go."
