Think it may be time for him to go. Not only have we got the worst side I think I've ever seen us have, and not only have we criminally gone into a season without a centre forward, but we are now looking at attracting a manager that might not want the interference a DOF brings.

Get shut, or demote him to a scout.

This clown was a major factor in the summer being a farce, why is he still here?

Because Moshiri is a procrastinator.
We all can see he'll be gone in the New Year anyway.

Haha but I'll raise you to three quarters of the club it seems

Just remember as you begin your week's slog of work this frosty Monday morning, that this man is sat in an office downloading the new Football Manager and earning a near 7 figure salary for it.

His brother had a better career for us,and that is tough to say,come to think of it,he cost a fortune too

lol

This guy has got away with murder - going into this season without replacing Lukaku or bringing in defensive reinforcements was absolutely criminal.

If he can't turn this around in January he should be binned.

All these calls on Walsh are just guesswork.

Since the club has never been clear on the management structure & who exactly is responsible for what, how do we know what he’s doing/not doing???

How do we know that he didn’t hand Koeman a list of targets, that he rejected?

Do we know that he had anything to do with signing Sigurdsson or Klaasen or Williams? They look more like Koeman picks to me. He does seem to be bringing in a few young prospects.

If that Henri & a couple more come good next season, a few here will look stupid.

Useless waste of a wage. If we go down he should be held liable for the 100m we lose.

He’s Director of Football, he’s going to be involved in the process

Apart from all the ageing crap footballers we have hung on too, and recently bought, there are 3 rotten apples still in the barrel. Kenwright, Elstone and Walsh. All need to go ASAP.

I highly doubt koeman rejected any centre forward or centre half offered to him this summer. To be honest koeman suggests he had very little to do with it all hence why he was playing the team he was given and not arsed to change anything (I have my theory as to why but off the point).

The reality is, although here and there a few players signed were good business, together they have been terrible. It would be Walsh's job to manage who is coming in and out of the club, far more than koeman. So when lukaku us off in March then it should be Walsh who sorts out replacing him. Koeman can say which striker he prefers but it is Walsh that does the business. The same Walsh flying out to Italy to do naff all business wise. It should have been Walsh that after 3 ams signed was sorting out other areas of the pitch. It was Walsh that should have been sorting a striker out whilst we were after siggurdson. The list goes on and on, that's his job to deal with these things and to identify players through his scouts, if he fails at that (like he has done) then he should be culpable for the mess we are In.

I don't believe that a manager who goes on holiday rather than try and sort a mess out as he did recently has any significant input into dealings transfer wise. He may say buy me x or y but that is clearly as far as it goes with him.

I just don't get why in any given situation, us blues have to defend any negative viewpoints. The same negative to unsworth being good enough to be manager and how culpable Walsh is. The fact is unsworth isn't good enough to be out manager and Walsh has failed in his job. That's the start and finish, if the dof oversees a complete mess then he has failed in his job, it's his job to prevent that happening
