The poll. I wouldn't have Allardyce or Hiddink on it at all. Not even going to dignify some other names the media/bookies have been throwing around by even mentioning them. But would add a couple of wild cards. Alphabetically:

Dyche
Howe
Nagelsmann
O'Neill (Michael)
Silva
Simeone
Tuchel
Unsworth

If a few sources, like the footy rich list and The Paradise Papers are to be believed, the money issue is not an issue.

Therefore there isn't so much of a need to be acting like a Simeone type appointment is out of the question, or even a rest of the season appointment that is not just an internal promotion.

But it depends on the board selling a project development model comparable with say, Tottenham over the last 5 years.
 

Agree mate, moshiri has the right ideas but in putting them into practise he's showing a woeful naivety about 'knowing football', question for me us I believe he has been taking advice from those longer in the game. Whose motives are dubious for the club at best.

A strong and competent top dof would not best serve the interests of kenwright and elstone and even a lot if the backroom and background staff at the club. Because frankly his first suggestion to moshiri would be a riot and branch cleaning out of the club.

Walsh was sold to him on the 'winning the league for Leicester' narrative, ignoring the fact they almost got relegated the year before with the self same walshes player choices , Newcastle similarly almost and ultimately went down because of his work as head of recruitment for allardyce there. And the man has bounced around numerous clubs with varying degrees of success and failure, and frankly got exceptionally lucky with signings at Leicester.

Didn't they actually want a different player for example than kante, and only got him when the first choice chose elsewhere, and interestingly the player subsequently was a flop, similarly mahrez wasn't the player he sent scouts to watch and it was only on the scouts watching the game he became a target for them, so not actually walshes fabled knowledge of stats and players...

One sticking poi t to any ambitious or proven manager in my eyes would be them having to be on the same page as someone who frankly is not deserving of the job, responsibility or profile.

Want a director of football then headhunt a good one, don't instead hire a good scout whose not up to the job and who hasn't a clue about how to do the role.

Looking back even at Leicester his role was weird, often on the bench or at training. Football seems to be a very small world of cliques and, if rumours are to believed, EFC is full of them. I wonder how much of this is all due to not having a top level CEO in place as they would, as you mention, surely recommend a root-and-branch review of the entire business. We just seem to lack qualified people in pretty much all the top roles.

Also it shows that the DOF has had a role in choosing the Head Coach. So fare we've only heard who Moshiri or Kenwright want. Is Walsh even involved?

We only have conjecture but I think it's telling Walsh never talks publicly about the style of football we aspire to, what we're trying to do long term or even give an opinion. Smacks of jobs-for-the-boys again wrapped as a coup as he came from the champions. Would he get a job as D0F at any of the top 6 if he left us?

As far as I know he's never been a DOF before. Maybe a misjudgment on the part of the hierarchy what a DOF role actually entails?

No I don't think he has. As for the actual role I don't think there's one single description or template to work from, it changes from club to club and I think that's part of the issue. So all we can go on is what we see and hear and from Walsh it's purely player recruitment which to me is scouting.

His title when allardyce brought him with him to Newcastle was head of recruitment, notable that after that stint he went back within 6 months to working for another club as a scout.

Need him out the club imo, don't like the fact he is obviously championing Allardyce and Shakespeare, don't like the fact him and Unsworth go right back to unsies school boy days and are very close to each other.

We already have one self serving clique at the boardroom level in the club, having another at the managerial level would kill us.

Elstone needs removing and in place a person with correct experience with zero connections to anyone whose been at this club before including kenwrigth, and Walsh needs binning off immediately and a foreign director of football with top level experience bringing in.

Let the next clique at the club be formed around people uniting with each other due to respect in each others competence, rather than due to covering each other's arses.
