That photo & kit is 81/82 -Kendall first season as manager; likely to be Walsh, but could be Biley
78/79 was the last year without shirt sponsors.
There isn't a sponsors name on the picture

Ratcliffe didn't make his debut until March 1980, Mike Walsh signed in the summer of 81 so could conceivably be Walsh.

A couple of weeks after this they signed Shilton to complete their team. They were incredibly lucky with injuries and barely seemed to change the team all season. We chased them all the way but two heavy losses over Christmas hit us hard and in the final few games we allowed you know who to nip past us into 2nd place.

Good coach Burtenshaw. Big blow to Gordon when he left and big mistake to promote Eric Harrison to take over from him - great with kids but not popular with the senior pros.
I hold my hand up mate I think you are right , The thing that threw me was the shirt sponsors name not being on the shirt

I reckon Joe is correct - Ken McNaught.
It's just the hairstyle it's a blared photo of him, but it's the first instinct that came into my head - been wrong before - see its caused a nice debate on this wonderful thread
Newton Heath who later became - Manchester United our first ever league win at our new home - Goodison Park -
Is that Paul Merson?
