Interventionist approach - what does Trivela visit mean for Walsall boss Mat Sadler
Walsall co-chairman Ben Boycott will be jetting over from the US following a decline in results under head coach Mat Sadler.
The Saddlers have dropped from the League Two summit to seventh after collecting just one win in eight games - including a current five-match winless run.
The club issued a statement on Thursday evening and confirmed that Boycott will be travelling to Walsall to meet with the board, players and staff.
They will then film a detailed update of how they plan to overcome the current situation on Tuesday, which will be released ahead of their trip to Grimsby Town the following day.
Sadler has come under scrutinising pressure after two-and-a-half years at the helm, as a number of home supporters called for him to be sacked during their recent 3-1 home defeat against Barnet.
"Following our recent downturn in results and performance levels, the Board have met numerous times this week to discuss the challenges we currently face," a club statement read.
"After an excellent start to the season, we absolutely acknowledge that in recent weeks we have not met the elevated standards we have set for ourselves. Notably, we also understand the urgency to improve the situation.
"Everyone at the club has been working diligently to use this week as an opportunity to reflect and reset ahead of the rest of the season.
"The team, staff and Board are all collectively chomping at the bit for the Grimsby Town game to come around, which gives us the opportunity to get back on track and attack the final third of the season both positively and aggressively."
