Manager leaves with club bottom of League One table
Walsall have sacked manager Chris Hutchings with the club bottom of the League One table.
Hutchings has been under pressure from supporters in recent weeks, with the Saddlers having won just five games in the league this season.

Assistant manager Martin O'Connor has also been let go and Walsall
Great dignity
"Chris and Martin have both worked extremely hard during their time at the club," said Bonser told the club's official website.
"They have been professional throughout and have conducted themselves with great dignity in what have been difficult times.
"Their preparation and professionalism has been second-to-none but we are in a results business and, unfortunately, results have not gone their way.
"We wish Chris and Martin all the very best for the future and hope they find future employment in the game and enjoy the success that their hard work and professionalism deserves."
Walsall currently have just 17 points from their opening 21 games in League One and are eight points adrift of safety.
