Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[Boss_Blue]

All managers will be short term if you keep on wanting them sacked after a season.

Would you like us to keep Koeman mate?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Has he signed a single quality player

 

[Zatara]

Todays article in the mail confirms that Koeman told agents during the summer that he was in charge of recruitment.

It certainly looks like other than running the scouting and perhaps having a small budget to make signings, Walsh isn't responsible.

Which raises the question of what is Walsh for?

Director of Football isn’t solely there for transfers.

Of course. But wasn’t he brought in with that in mind - if I remember he was sold to us as a less-than-orthodox DOF to be in partial charge of incomings, unearthing hidden gems etc.

I’m not against him, just wondering.

Yes don’t get me wrong I find the transfer heirarchy a little odd but I think what he’s changed so far with restructuring the scouting system etc. as a decent accomplishment.

Shouts for his head are premature IMO. I’d like to see what he can do when working with a less powerful/stubborn manager.

We brought in four or five players including the Anderlecht loan lad and the boy from Fulham mainly for the u-23s,it could be two/three years down the line before they are ready,so difficult to judge Walsh on this so far I think.

Agree with all that

How many of our incomings have been "Walsh" as opposed to "Koeman" signings? Rumour has it that RK was pushing for Sig and Martina would deffo have been an RK signing. How many more? Klaassen too perhaps.

in charge of all the scouts + would then have meetings with Koeman about players weve scouted.

Martina, Stekelenburg, Schneiderlin were all under Koeman before
Klaassen must have been a Koeman signing as he went to meet him

get rid of this PE teacher and his milan holidays the free loading beaut

Wayne Rooney

 

[JJK]

So he’s just the head scout then?
