Steve Walsh Post transfer deadline poll

Sour dough bread more popular than the French stick.

Shocked here.

I don't claim to be an expert on the inner workings of a football club, but I'm pretty sure his job is to identify the targets, NOT to dictate the timeframe in which the club try to sign them. I agree that our deadline day appears to have been a shambles but to claim that Steve Walsh's head should roll for it is one of the most ill informed, small minded, knee-jerk reactions I've ever seen in regards to EFC. He hasn't been brought in to change us into title winners over night, he's been brought in to improve recruitment over a period of years.
Finally, the fact that at least 3 of his targets (Slimani, Sissoko, Perez) have been purchased during the last few days by Champions League clubs tells you what a mammoth task we've got on our hands in getting these deals over the line. It's all well and good establishing targets, but until our reputation improves (ie we're not thought of as mid table also-rans), a lot of clubs are able to present a more attractive option. The person responsible for turning us into a bottom-half club has already been sacked, give the new regime a chance.

As DoF, he has to be accountable in some way for our inability to conclude transfers surely? Appreciate that he's built a career on bringing in cheap bargains but the calibre of player we were being linked with also significantly reduced when he came on board as well. Worrying

 

[Azza]

Surely in his position of 'Director of Football' and not 'Head Scout' (which it should be imo), then I imagine he will have some responsibility of conversing with players and agents, to sell the vision and plan of the club to new players.

He's no Monchi that's for sure.

(Was that his name?! Feels ages ago)

Another silly poll the only time you can judge is at the end of the season.
However, in my view, we have signed the two bargains of the window for less than 20m.

 

[Groucho]

Been here 10 minutes and already grabbed us Gueye for buttons. I like him.

Don't blame the new cats for the incompetence of the perennial leeches still attached to our club.

Well this really.

We're not honestly holding Walsh responsible here are we?
