Billy Davies is also quoted saying he would love David to be his assistant for the next 20 years!! That seems unlikey as Ned already has management ambitions. But it has to be questioned whether Kelly will see Walsall as an attractive proposition at this time. Walsall in its current state is a extremly hard job for manager in his first job.
The other consideration must be whether Kelly will be willing to take a pay reduction for a job with more responsibility? Then the playing budget must be called into question. In our favour is its a possible first step on the managerial ladder for the ex-striker.
Kelly remains the fans favourite and it would be an appointment that would re-unite the fans should it come off.
