Matt Posted 15 July 2016 Share Posted 15 July 2016 Maybe winning the league has gone to my head but I just don't understand it, why would he want to leave? Nothing in it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddylcfc Posted 15 July 2016 Share Posted 15 July 2016 Slightly worrying that he's been absent from Austria. Possibly gives substance to the story. Director of football could appeal to him I guess. This would, arguably, be a similar blow to losing Kante should it happen. Signed a new deal recently hasn't he so here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 15 July 2016 Share Posted 15 July 2016 He is from the northwest but I believe quite settled in the East Midlands Director of football at Everton against assistant manager here Not an easy call. Despite what a lot of you will think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he's doing his job, as a scout? Last time I checked he wasn't a fitness coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 15 July 2016 Share Posted 15 July 2016 Why would he go to Everton? It's not like they pay crazy wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 15 July 2016 Author Share Posted 15 July 2016 Not seen in Austria is nothing too alarming to me, neither is "not seen around the club". Now I know he does a great job but that doesn't mean I know exactly what his role entails, perhaps he's doing some scouting elsewhere or dealing with potential transfers.

Poznan34 Posted 15 July 2016 Share Posted 15 July 2016 Why would he go to Everton? It's not like they pay crazy wages. They do now. They've had a takeover. Koemans on loads (read £7m a year somewhere), apparently offered Witsel £120,000 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 15 July 2016 Share Posted 15 July 2016 Why would the want the best scout in the game as DoF? Hi Steve do you want a job that marginalises your activity in what you are good at and throws a whole load of other shit on your plate? No? We'll pay you 1 billion pounds!!!! Next they will be after Rudkin as a scout... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve do you want a job that marginalises your activity in what you are good at and throws a whole load of other shit on your plate? No? We'll pay you 1 billion pounds!!!! Next they will be after Rudkin as a scout... Because they see it as a way of getting the best scout in the game. Bill it as a promotion, more control, more influence etc. Just my gut feeling, but I doubt Walsh has the sort of influence he had with Nigel as he does with Ranieri. I'm sure he's still running the scouting side the same, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if his influence on other matters has decreased.

Gerard Posted 15 July 2016 Share Posted 15 July 2016 I suppose it will all come down to money. I'm sure he'd stay here if the money was the same but they may be prepared to blow his current deal out the water. Quality of recruitment is probably the most important thing at a football club, it's imperative you have the best man in that job and we probably have.

Next they will be after Rudkin as a scout... Depends how you define director of football. If he's in an office overseeing the analysts and instructing the scouts, deciding who to sign, that would fall under that umbrella surely? Maybe he's seen all his signings having massive pay rises and thinks he deserves a bit more as well? Who know? Just because Everton want him, doesn't mean he's interested.

I'm sure he's still running the scouting side the same, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if his influence on other matters has decreased. In what way? I doubt he ever has that much of a say in tactics but I'm also quite sure that Ranieri never "blackballs" any signing that Walsh really wants to make. Horses for courses and whilst they may offer an opinion in each others field of expertise I'm sure they settle on Ranieri picks the team an tactics and Walsh picks the players to buy.
