Having observed the problems suffered by neighbours Dundalk, under the ownership of another US firm Peak6, talks have been cautiously ongoing with a number of investors since August 2022. This process has now been whittled down to one, the Trivela Group.
“We’re pursuing a multi-club ownership model, that’s the long-term vison,” said Boycott. “There’s interesting opportunities for synergy when an organisation has multiple clubs. It’s the town [of Walsall’s] club. We’re the stewards of it.
Kinsella, the son of former Ireland international Mark, left the club this summer after 253 appearances for the Saddlers.“In phase one, Trivela has purchased 51 per cent of the shares of WFC, and has injected additional capital directly into the club for strategic investments,” said Boycott.
