psychobudgie 55 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Given Waldos past history with signing British players that can make an immediate imapct, I would not be in the least surprised if it was a current English Centre Forward - someone like Robbie Fowler (although obviously not him as I dont think he is ready for that move yet) but McCulloch (even tho he's scottish) would not surprise me or Andy Cole (yikes!) perhaps?Didn't walter try to swap Oleg Salenko for Cole.Deal fell through when Keegan couldn't find a big enough bucket to put it in.I'll get me coat pipehorse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychobudgie 55 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 and by the way ricardo you must have been the only person in liverpool that thought walter done a great job with everton. Actually, there are quite a lot of us who think that.Not many managers would have coped with a Director that would sell the teams best players without consulting them first. Considering what he took over and the situation at the club with regards to the finances, and the Directors, he did well just saving us from relegation.

Thing is, you're not an Everton fan and neither am I.Yet here are a couple of Everton fans disputing your view, and you're ignoring their opinion.I personally thought he didn't do that well either, but not being privvy to what was going on, I'd rather trust the judgement of a fan of the club, than my own view from a distance.And stats don't mean much m8 - you can make them say whatever you want.

They got rid of him as unsurprisingly Walter had lost the will to go on. I doubt Sir Alex Ferguson could have steadied the Everton ship at that time, we were in real danger for a couple of seasons, of becoming the new Man City. Yes it was that bad.

psychobudgie 55 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 not one person has given me a answer if he done a good job why did they get rid of him. There are many reasons for Managers departing clubs. They probably felt they needed a new manager as Walter was pretty much pooped out and some fresh blood might get a reaction from the players until the club stabilised.Why did Liverpool get rid of Houllier? Why did Celtic get rid of Burns? Neither did a particularly bad job. Houlier infact has gone on to win consecutive titles with Lyon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point, is that being sacked, leaving by mutual consent, etc doesn't make you a bad manager/coach. With the possible exception of John Barnes and Lou Macari.
