we dont know what the set up is re transfers...
I would say he is directly responsible for the really bad ones, Gylfi Klaassen Schneids and prob Bolasie and Williams

The reality is, and it is, as it always is with Koeman is... he's not seen that he has done a terrible job, he has... well, this season.
How, as the fans, can we see that we can't sell Lukaku until we have a replacement, yet he sells at the first opportunity. "Nobody better than Giroud", well where is the research? We've got Walsh supposedly scouring the globe finding us absolute gems, yet here we are, managerless, strikerless and in the bottom three. He stresses how important Lukaku was, so why the hell did you not have a plan B. to Giroud? Poor.
Last season we played with spark, power, and pace. We actually used Wingers.
This season, Koeman signing 3 number 10's, it's unforgivable. I don't think anyone could have envisaged just how bad it could've went, yet here we are where near enough every player has been awful, particularly the new signings (excusing Vlasic and Pickford really).
The Barkley/Lukaku situation, it's pathetic. I know in most jobs, most managers have their favourites, but this... it was blatant. Yeah, Yeah... Barkley hasn't acted like a professional example, but Lukaku.. he kicked, he screamed, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, what does Koeman do? Tells the press he needs to "Leave to further his career", there's realism, and then there's just playing the game. We, the fans, knew he'd probably go, but for the manager to publically say it? Well no wonder Giroud was the "Best" we couldn't get. What message does that say? Shock, no quality players want to join.
Where Barkley comes in, he'd have a good game (I'm not saying every game) and Koeman would tell the press he needed to do "More". He scored against possibly Watford and he said "He took his goal well, but needs to do more". Barkley was hung out to dry, and whilst i'm not saying he's an angel, you can't have one rule for one, and not the other.
Make the excuses you want, but Koeman was, and will always be, an egotistical get, who wants everything done "His Way" or no way. The players have disliked him in most clubs, and finally, we are free of the parasite, who wanted our pedestal to get him self to Catalunya, sorry mate, no chance! Imagine Messi getting no service like Calvert-Lewin every week

It may be wrong to assume but I think Koeman wanted all the players over 25 and Walsh wanted the ones under 25.
So yea while Walsh probably should have stepped in and stopped him Koeman is probably very much to blame.
It does if Koeman was making the decisions and Walsh was effectively a scout.
He's responsible for all of the players signed in the summer.
Spot on mate and from what I've been told he wasn't the slightest bit arsed when we sacked him. Says it all really.
Given the money spent hands down the worse manager I've seen at the club!

In all fairness it was the apparent absence of a plan a that really got him sacked.
Never mind the signings blaming was it walsh or was it him - the manner of defeat and football was crass- he got his comeuppance thank goodness!
Yep and the fact is he was only really interested in signing a proven Premiership striker and the only one on his list appears to have been Giroud - clueless!
giroud would have got no service with Koemans wingless flops!

I would not be surprised if Mr Walsh's cards have been marked by Moshiri. The Everton management structure (if one can go as far as calling it that) has not covered itself in glory over the replacement of striker and getting in defensive cover.

For me Joe, tbh, I think he is too old and not that quick. We would not have got much out of him in the way of seasons and we need to build a team. look again at the ages of the players in the mid 80s.
