His first team recruitment is a mess indeed, but to blame him for loaning Dowell and Lookman is too far fetch. He had no influence on who should play week in week out, if the manager decides they are not good enough, it’s the role of dof to find alternate competitive game time in order to continue their development.
We’ve never recruited any significant youth players prior to Walsh arrival. He brought in high quality English youth from the lower league to be fair. With this sacking, will this u23 recruitment continue to succeed?
