He is assistant manager at the premier league club which he actually supports. No matter how well him and Pearson get on, expecting him to quit his boyhood team for an equivalent post in the division below doesn't make sense, especially given Villa can surely outgun us financially.

tin Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 I also think Shakespeare is unlikely for reasons others have stated, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Chris Powell and/or Mike Stowell (ex-City keeper) come down in some capacity.

Exactly. Any coach wants to work with the best players too, and I can't see Shakey trading up coaching Jack Grealish on a day-to-day basis with Taylor Moore.

Johnny Musicworks Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 So Walsh currently works for a Billionaire (David Tepper) who has made his fortune from financial investment and has a growing stable of Sports clubs from various sports. Sounds familiar ! Maybe SL could have a word with him too and kill two birds with one stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few I'd argue on but mostly yeah mostly I'd agree, however you get more kudos for the point you're making if you can do it in a balanced way in my opinion, talking about the strengths of players he signed who did well or average as well. Calvert-Lewin if he got sold would probably net them a good £50m profit if he were to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Apparently Shakespeare has been scouring The Globe for talent and has focused mainly on Italy where he's scouted Two Gentlemen Of Verona, and Measure For Measure they are an improvement on our current players.

That's fine but they won't have any context so to what happened behind the scenes, whether Walsh's recommendations were listened to and exactly what role Walsh played. For example the signings of Sigurdsson, Klaasson and Rooney make no sense in terms of signing three attacking midfielders but did Koeman think Sigurdsson and Klaason could play together, sign those players on that basis and then the owners felt Rooney was too high a profile signing to refuse and bring him in too. I certainly can't imagine the owners would have needed Walsh to identify Rooney. Also was Bolasie a terrible signing because he was the wrong player or because he picked up a serious injury two months after he signed that hampered his career? I don't think Walsh can be blamed for the latter. It's possible Walsh did a terrible job at Everton or it is possible Walsh was trying to recommend promising and unheralded talent across Europe and his job clashed with owners that wanted marquee signings to make a statement. We just don't know enough detail to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
