Steve Walsh - no longer our Director of Football

[Eggs]

Would have thought retaining him on the scouting team would have been a good idea.
That said, I'm not at all upset with this news.

..oh dear. He’s cost the club millions and facilitated the most unbalanced squad ever. Not to mention authorising the loans of players like Lookman and Dowell who could have played an effective part, not to mention Connolly and Robinson as conventional back up to Baines.

The man is the root of our on-field status and some folk still want him in the club.

I bet kenwright is sat there wandering what the F is going on, squeezing his teddy really hard, worrying himself silly, sobbing uncontrolably

All worked out a bit weird with him. Arrived with a reputation of finding top class talent for relatively cheap from the different European leagues and then proceeded to spunk insane amounts of money on overhyped, overpaid ''Prem Proven'' players.

Not sure if he wasn't allowed to do his job properly by those above him or if he's just a complete charlatan who got lucky.

Didn’t the majority of his signings at Leicester get sold within a year of him coming to us? Kante, Mahrez and vardy his signings?

When people said he discovered Zola, it set alarms off in my head.

Good riddance.

While our gang of useless wastrels where gathered round the table at the LMA bash in London necking beer and filling their faces with scran , all paid for by the club no doubt, Moshiri and his crew go around changing the locks and clearing their desks. Ruthless and smooth. I'm suitably impressed to be fair.

Can somebody change the 'confirmed signing' in the thread title to 'confirmed sacking'

The 3 sentences on walsh leaving sums up the disaster he was.

Ive said for a while, he hasnt signed bad players, as such, well not all of them have been bad players, my issue is that he spent 300m and he didnt improve any aspect of the team at all, I realise we lost Lukaku, but our squad is so unbalanced, bloated and just a downright mess. It looks like it was built by somebody that has never watched a game of football, nevermind somebody who is meant to be "an expert".

It didnt work out, but that was then, this is now.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Get out

..agree. Players bought in isolation with no overview of them playing in a system, no thought of blend and them complimenting each other. Basically everything a DoF should do hasn’t been done.
