Supporters of Everton have been reacting to the latest news on the Toffees’ former director of football, Steve Walsh.
As stated by Pro Soccer USA, the Englishman will be a ‘special advisor’ for a new MLS team based in Charlotte, North Carolina (via Everton News Feed), which the Goodison Park faithful reacted to.

Do you have an overall positive or negative opinion of Steve Walsh?Positive, he did okay for usNegative, he was awful for us |
Walsh joined the Toffees in 2016, while the club was under the guidance of the current Dutch national team manager, Ronald Koeman (via The Guardian).
However, the former scout was to spend only two years with the Toffees and was replaced by Marcel Brands in the summer of 2018 (via The Independent) and fans were not all too impressed with their former man.
Can he sign Martina, Gylfi, schneiderlin, bolasie and Sandro??

What do we think?
Judging by the responses from Everton fans, it is clear to see that very few have a positive opinion of the club’s former director of football.
If there will be one thing that has not helped Walsh’s case, it is the interview with The Athletic where he detailed what could have been with some players he suggested to sign which the club ignored.
