Should we sack Steve Walsh?

[GrantyBoy78]

I don’t see why he should get off the hook, considering the mess we are in so thought I’d start this.

Apart from bullying a couple of poorer teams out of their well established, better players, what has he achieved since being here?

After the dross Martinez signed and saddled Koeman with, we adopted the DoF approach - to provide more continuity and structure to our recruitment policy. If at any point we decide to change manager (which is looking increasingly likely), the new one should be able to slot in nicely, with a top squad at his disposal. Is this the case?

BOTH THE CUNTS

[TheTone]

sack em all

[hill135]

No.

The signings have been hit-and-miss for sure but none of us actually know the division of responsibility in terms of scouting and recruiting players. We can only speculate as to who is responsible for our shoddy recruitment.

[Realist]

Don't really see what he brings except confusion
We are the only club stupid enough to employ him because of the "role" he played in Leicester winning the prem.
His role was minimal at best & we make him our director of football, it's pathetic
Yes I'd sack him immediately

Why wouldn't you sack him? Are you suggesting he might not play a role in any of the signings?

[TheTone]

never been a fan of directors of football

the signings are not the issue, its Koemans use of them, Plus Koeman has stated a few times that other players where lined up, but he wasnt happy with them.. so good enough for Walsh(who has a good track record on finding players) but not good enough for Koeman.. who has a shit eye for players.

As far as I am aware he doesn't pick the team so on that basis we can have less of a case for him facing the boot than the man whose job it is to motivate the players and send them out in a workable system.

Just on the other side of the coin, the manager would have an easier job if the required players had been brought in for him.

Note: Koeman should be doing better regardless of course.

Walsh didn't find Kante or Mahrez, as for the signings not being an issue - I disagree - is Keane worth £30m, Schneiderlin £25m, Sigurdsson £45m?
There's £100m - I could sign better players with that money

Could you really? Or are you just being silly now?

Why do you keep bringing that up regarding Kante and Mahrez, even when it isn’t even mentioned in the post you quoted?!

Walsh had a great hand in the squad assembled at Leicester regardless of it.

Who would you think he means when he says Walsh had a good record of finding players?

when i went to the match on Thursday, my mate said that i play better than Evertons players.. lol

i dont care on the value of the players. its all arbitrary.. its the players koeman wanted,
I disagree with the Walsh comments, but over all, Koeman said no to a few signings.. regardless Koeman is the one who works with the players, regardless who buys them.
Even if you bought better players, Koeman needs to fit them into a system that is productive.
