Steve Walsh

[WestSussexWhite]

I've heard credible rumours that Steve Walsh is in the frame for the DoS role, if true, he would be a fantastic appointment. He's the man that found Drogba and Zola for Chelsea, and found Vardy, Kante and Mahrez for Leicester. If true would be an excellent appointment

Not asking for sources but, could you better define "credible"?

In this case try hopeful, desperate, optimistic, wishful , big, or even fulhamish.

Judging by his Chelsea and Leicester bona fides, I'd expect so.

I've been so frustrated by the club, even by this season's standard, since our relegation, that I've pretty much just shut down following any news or rumor. I do get bitten by the curiosity bug from time to time but I haven't been following any of the silly season stuff. This news seemed positive - so, unusual. Figured I'd pop in and ask. Appreciated.

[WestSussexWhite]

Yeah, I've got a friend that works at the club. Steve Walsh is one of 2 they are talking too. I don't know who the 2nd one is though

[simplyfulham]

I mean that would be lovely.

But if you were Steve Walsh, why the hell would you swap Leicester for Fulham?

And even if he did, the fundamental issues at Fulham are less who's doing what but more about the processes we have in place. A large part of that process is driven by the TK and it's his personality and stubbornness that holds it in place.

If Steve comes would that mean TK loosening the reigns and allowing new methodologies?

Swap Leicester for Fulham?? He left there about four years ago. Been at Everton & now working in America which could be quite relevant

[MartyFFC]

Swap Leicester for Fulham; just like Rafa swapping Liverpool for Fulham I guess

Jesus Christ. I ballsed that one up.

Thanks for putting me right. At least that answers one of the questions then!

He was a pretty decent centre half who scored quite a few goals for Leicester. Maybe we are signing him in case Tosin leaves.   :005:

[Jims Dentist]

Would be good, but could we just call him Head of Scouting.
I hate all these "Director" titles these days both in football and businesses when those concerned are not on the board of directors.

Yep, it's just title inflation. Mind you the Yanks are pretty good at it too with their SVP this and EVP that.

An MD I worked with said, "John, it's cheaper than handing out a pay rise".

The other one is Giant Haystacks.

Different Steve Walsh

[JimOG]

I rang a very good friend of mine who played in the same Chorley side as Walsh & who have continued that lifelong friendship. He had been talking to Walsh very recently, albeit before these rumours surfaced, and Walsh never mentioned FFC. Given the chat was about his Leicester & Everton experiences we might expect him to let slip a new offer. Then again maybe he's being discreet

Maybe he hadn't been approached about it then? Or applied then? But hey it's all speculation at the moment

Some Everton fans might choose a different title for him.

To be fair I think Everton fans have exceptionally high expectations for a team that haven't won anything for god knows how many years

But he's a football man. He can't possibly make bad signings

Wow! Some really bad signings and for lots of money!
