Jarvis was out of contract!
I have faith in Knill. He was wise enough and good enough motivator to keep us up with a poor side that was in freefall.
Knill will bring in decent replacements. Although i was a jarvis fan in the end(for some time, he was awful), i appreciate his good efforts and performances in the relegation battle, but ultimately there are
a lot better players out there in that position.
Bit surprised, not sure if we gave him the best chance to shine with the way he was played but he always worked hard and got a few important goals. Generally liked him as a player but always wanted more from him. Don't think he will ever be prolific, we aren't really in a position to be carrying players like that at this level maybe? I don't know. Either way, I wish him all the best and thank him for his effort, which could rarely be doubted.
Jarvis reminded me of Jack Swindells who, older fans will recall, played for us in the 1963-4 season. I think he was transferred to Workington.
Once again, the warnings of fans from the player's (or, in Mr. Ling's case, manager's) former club proved to some extent correct. Interestingly, the Walsall fans were also glad to see the back of Jarvis because, apparently, he was on (relatively) high wages. Not the case here, showing that is career is on the slide.
