MaVilla Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 16 managers in 10 years, 17 managers in 10 years when you factor in the replacement (granted 2 of those are caretaker managers, but still.....they were manager there for a short time all the same). Joke of a club, who on earth would want to manage there...my lord. I thought we were bad over the last decade, but even we have only had 7 managers in 10 years, we are amateurs compared to this lot.

The Fun Factory Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I am sure a lot of championship clubs would love to be in Watford's position. So what if they sack managers every 6 months, the majority of Watford fans love their owners. I can see Lampard taking this on as it is a premier league club and on his doorstep.

Zatman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 38 minutes ago, Davkaus said: Hodgson is still alive, apparently. Good odds on him being sacked by Easter, I imagine. He worked with the owners before at Udinese, his Wikipedia has an apparent quote that he denied saying Quote In 2001, he left Copenhagen to move to Serie A side Udinese. With the club in ninth place and in the quarter finals of the 2001–02 Coppa Italia, Hodgson was fired in December 2001 after less than six months in charge after allegedly stating that he regretted taking up the post.[37] Newspapers quoted him saying: "Obviously I'm very happy to be back at this level of football, but I could have chosen a better club to come back to. It's an extremely strange club." Hodgson denied making the comments[38][39] but later claimed that he wanted to leave so was happy to be dismissed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Hodgson#Copenhagen,_Udinese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's a strange way to do a thing. Each to their own I guess. I can see Frank Lampard next in. I've pencilled in three weeks in 2024, if I can get the time off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance he gets another Premier League job if Watford sack him in April and they are facing the drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I just read the news. Are we still discussing sacking Rainieri? Or have they already sacked the next guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think so. They give short contracts and probably have clauses in them, i.e. Receive £x if contract is terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Has Roy fallen out with his wife or something? He's really pretty old, and it frankly made sense for him to retire on an emotional high last summer. I get that he's likely to get two or three years' pay for six months' work (if that) in this job, but this has the feeling of a really unsatisfying post-credits scene that undermines the rest of the movie IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Palace tried to push him into retirement, he was looking for a new contract for most of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2022 Woy is a good choice imo. Gives them a fighting chance to stay up....if he manages to wear the right coloured socks as not to anger the pozos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps them up, I feel as though their points total and current form doesn't tell the whole story, they've had an incredibly difficult run of fixtures that would have seen better teams than them also struggle. He did well to keep the Palace team he had finishing comfortably in midtable without any danger of relegation.

Kingman Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 If they had stuck with Pearson/Shakespeare they would probably be around Leeds/Everton current league position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted January 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2022 If Hodgson is the best choice to help them stay up over any of Newcastle, Burnley and/or Leeds then I'm all for it. More likely it will be a disappointing end to his career though, in all but personal financial terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
