....don't get me wrong, I dare say there isn't a bottomless pit of money but I don't think it's the reason that our player acquisition process isn't running smoothly.

Do you believe it's Kenwright or Elstone or both eggs? If so, I wonder why Moshiri, Walsh and Koeman seem to be powerless to let them continue negotiations when it was obviously a major issue during the summer.

...I'm best not answering the first bit.

I would think/hope Moshiri eventually generates cohesive internal governance processes but it might take time. Without naming individuals, some might be reluctant to accept a more passive role within the club. Change is never easy.

Enough said mate regarding the first bit ;) if that's the case well it doesn't bode well does it and it's only going to continue to hold us back.

Looks like he's saying both he and the board know what we want, now Steve Walsh has to get the players in.

He;s basically accusing the DoF of falling down on the job, imo.

Perhaps he should blame himself and the board for hiring someone with no experience as a Director of football? If indeed it is Walsh's job to do the negotiating and getting the deals across the line that is.

You managed to poach a scout by him by offering him a bigger role, a bigger say and a promotion. Those in power there must have known what his role was at Leicester. So if it is actually him falling down, then they only have themselves to blame as that's not what he was good at.
 
I fail to see why any club wants a DOF, all the successful British clubs have managers who decide who they want to play in the style they, could you imagine Clough or Ferguson being told to work with a DOF, just a waste of money.
The problem is demarcation, who is senior the manager or the DOF, who has the last word, this managerial format is an accident ready to happen, IMO there is going to be a disastrous clash between the two.

I really don't think there will be a clash, I don't understand why you'd appoint Walsh in that sort of role. He was well thought of in the game for his scouting and how he set up our scouting departments.

I think he'll over see sections of the footballing side there, but the manager will dictate tactics and who plays etc. All the on the pitch stuff.
