Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[BlueToff]

koeman and Walsh relationship was bound to fail from the start, Just like how Koeman fell out with LVG and Les Reed. Problem is Koeman know's what he is on about mostly and would of seen into walsh's charlatan act when he produced Williams and Enner.

Was destined to fail as he was appointed in a unique role he had no experience in only his agent brother Mickey and Kenwright to show him the ropes in negotiations- no wonder most deals go t'tsup.



If he was sold last year 30 M of the lukaku money was going on Sissoko another masterstroke was to sign Bolasie Williams and Enner, I'd never of heard of them hidden gems before they joined.

There are no issues at all between this relationship.

You're talking utter wham.

As you have done since you joined.

 

[BlueToff]

When are people gonna wake up? There's no place in English football for a director of football. It just doesn't work. All about the manager

There's a DoF at Saints mate and they're a very well run club.

But okay.

 

[BlueToff]

I wager if we had a top DOF who could conduct deals without leaking to press and actually improve the team, we'd be onto a winner. Good idea poor execution really. Lot of teams I follow in france can easily improve on a sell to buy model, allowing manager to focus on playing side.

Do tell?

Don't say Monaco either.

He's dead and buried I believe mate, I dug his grave and launched him in before

Playing devils advocate here but how do you know there are no issues ? You're guessing just like the other guy. No one here has a clue and thus it probably makes more sense to assume there is no issue... but that's all it is, an assumption. Stating either as a matter of fact is pointless.

Good job.

I'm basing it off all of the times they've done interviews and said that they enjoy a good relationship and the fact that they've outlined how they decide which players to go for etc.

So no, it isn't an assumption.

I've heard Klopp has tried to poison John Henry on three or four occasions. You might say he hasn't but none of us know. He probably hasn't but stating either as a matter of fact is pointless.

I know you're trying to be witty but at the end of the day one is a quite plausible situation a between a DOF and manager and the other is... well...

Im assuming people who say there is a rift are doing so based on Koemans awkward/grumpy interview shortly before January transfer window.

Oh right, one brief 'grumpy' interview (which most people won't remember) is sound basis to form a judgement on two strangers' relationship... Gotcha!

The interview that was directed at the board to get the Schneiderlin deal over the line, you mean?

You're talking to me like I'm the one saying they have a rift, all Im saying is that it's not completely beyond the realms of comprehension like you boys seem to think it is and then gave you an example of why these people probably think there is a rift.

Go argue with them about it

You implied there was an equivalence in the two assumptions. There isn't. That's all.

 

[Furey1878]

Oh aye, absolutely not a place for them.

Especially not when United have had sustained success for 30 years and similar Chelsea for say the last 12. Both implemented a DoF or a role in that nature.

But yeah, absolutely not a place for them.

Isn't Levy basically a DoF at Spurs too? Their progress over the past few years has been very good

They've built on the foundations built by Baldini, who while not exactly successful, bought first team players such as Ben Davies, Eric Dier, Dele Alli, Nacer Chadli, Chris Eriksen and Erik Lamela.

Had his fair share of misses like but who doesn't.
