Our best player was found by us drawing Hadjuk Split in the Europa League qualifiers.

Let that sink in.
Was constantly on the sideline today talking to koeman was vlasic getting tactics.
Whereas Gana was left alone, no one talking to him whilst he was having a stinker. Skipper Jags not saying anything to him. All Jags was doing was shouting at Holgate.
Jags is a gash captain. Not arsed what lads think, skipper should be Wazza.
The club stinks right now, and Lyon, Arsenal, Chelsea next up looks brown.
 

I hope Walsh gets the boot , if and when we sack Koeman. We need a DoF ,if only to keep corrupt managers fingers out of the till. But this one failed woefully in terms of securing a striker.
 

Depends mate, you can have the absolutely best DoF in the world who buys brilliant players, but if the manager is a total moon headed spoon who uses them wrong or even worse ignores them then how can you hold the dof responsible then?

A dof for me can only be judged over a 2-3 manager period of time mate.

Look at the players not being featured, you reckon that Walsh wasn't the one bringing them in, you think he wouldn't have wanted barkley, kenny et al

For me you change this manger, then you see what the next bloke does with this group and in his first chance to add to it, then you can judge walsh
I think it's clear that all of the senior players are down to Koeman. Koeman also has the final say on transfers, not Walsh. We've got a typical organisational cock-up. A short term manager who is overwhelmingly buying players at their peak for the immediate future at the expense of the medium/long term & has the major say on transfers. To counter balance this we've let the DOF have the say on younger players. Hence you get Koeman refusing to play Lookman because he was Walsh's signing. It's a real dogs dinner & a complete mess. Koeman needs to go and then Walsh's role either needs to be clarified & given responsibility for recruiting the next manager or binned off altogether.

You've solved the problem mate, appoint Walsh as manager ;)

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

Koeman was only ever going to be short term, look at his record. But if all the managers you appoint perform like Koeman then they're going to be sacked.

Putting that to one side, you don't let the manager dictate the signings to the extent that we've done because you end up with too many players with the wrong age profile.

How was he short term? A 3 year contract is standard for a new manager. It's also a fair amount of time to judge a manager.
