Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[Khalekan]

Yeah I’m not. He’s a fraud

Undoubtedly.

But in this instance.....case unproven

Case proven Khal, look at the slimey bald PE teacher.

So our glorious Director of Football has overseen the departure of:

Lukaku
Barkley
Stones
Mirallas
Deulofeou
Lookman

And the recruitment of Cocu and Allardyce.

That's some great strategy in the name of entertaining footy!

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Whatever Walsh is doing its one of those gigs that’s just too good to last. Being payed to watch lots of footy around the world, read the newspapers and scouting reports. Watch tapes and meet for lunch with agents, perhaps even a few scotches in the hotel bar in either Naples, Paris or Hull. Free match day tickets and an office at Goodison and Finch Farm, taking calls from managers and sharing stories with other DoF’s at Ascot. Jealous....? Oh yes!

That is the most extreme case of hiding the truth by obscuring the facts I’ve ever seen

Him and Big Fat Ronald were a wrecking ball. One half of that power couple is gone but it's not enough, this melt should never have kept his job a minute past the January deadline.

...i’ve just been told about this and it is an eye opener.

The facts don't lie my friend.

This all day long. Have just been reading in the Echo that all of the summer signings made at Leicester in 2016 (6 apparently) have now been moved on in one form or another. Walsh's dabs must be on all/some of those signings and this scenario looks like its being repeated here.
He has to go!

 

[peteblue]

Just our luck, we finally get an owner with money again and we get some tosser who throws it all away.........

" Wrecking Ball " is the perfect description of Koeman and Walsh combined.

Off topic, but the fact that Koeman isn`t in a job speaks speaks volumes.

How can he not have any decent players lined up after all this time, mind boggling

I put up a whilst back about the fate of all the signings last time him and Allardyce worked together at Newcastle mate as well, that was massively disturbing reading as well.

he prefers playing golf, esp when 10m up??

Reminds me of Graham Carr at Newcastle. He had one year when Tiote, Ben Afra and Cabaye clicked at Newcastle, and Cisse came in and did a Jelavic for them.
Signed an 8 year contract and was regarded as a genius. Then all the signings turned bad in year 2 and he signed flop after flop until he got sacked.
None of us like to admit it but a lot of our success, or otherwise, is luck. When they look at city traders running funds the likelihood of them beating the market is pretty much just a 50/50 chance. You can become extremely rich in the city just on luck. Beat the market 10 years in a row and people will trust you with billions. But 1 in every 1000 traders will do that by simple blind luck.
That is why you need proper systems in place to see what is luck and what is judgement.
