Walsall are fed up of being the "small club of the Midlands" - and their new American owners have big plans as they look to move up through the divisions.
Earlier this week Alabama-based Trivela Group LLC, founded by Benjamin Boycott and Kenneth Polk, purchased a stake in the League Two club.
Whilst they have stopped short of making headline-grabbing ambitions, they have said the ultimate aim is to eventually make a return to the Championship - a division Walsall have not graced 2004. Speaking at a press conference to announce the takeover, former chair Leigh Pomlett made a tongue-in-cheek jibe at Walsall's local rivals such as Aston Villa and Wolves - both of whom ply their trade three divisions above in the Premier League.
