What a great finishing position for Watford this has been, credit to Flores. Would be absolutely hilarious if they appointed Sherwood He most certainly realises that they've achieved a massive amount this season by comfortably staying in the league, and he's far from expecting Champions League Football, but I think it's still okay to question things that may appear to be odd decisions throughout the season. Their survival relied primarily on their strikers, and the form of Gomes (except for the odd howler here and there). What he's saying is in the second half of the season QSF had no answer to Igahlo's goals drying up. As those goals went, so did the form. There were odd team selections and formations, plus they started playing narrow with 2 strikers. We've seen enough of that here already. We don't have an Igahlo or Deeney. Sherwood looked like a master with Benteke in the team after all. Obviously QSF is many times the manager that Sherwood is, but I don't think he's what we need here judging from someone that watches Watford has to say.

Jimbop Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Did you see Watford at Villa Park this season? They were TERRIBLE. Seriously, an absolutely awful team. How we lost that game I'll never know. Newcastle, Sunderland, Norwich, Watford are all absolutely rubbish. The fact we're more than 15 points adrift of the worst of them is ridiculous.

No goes to show they are not terrible, just shows we are terrible and the others are alot better than us. 15 points adrift is absolutely disgraceful. We are the terrible side not Watford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted May 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2016 It will mean we are about to sell up and the new owner has him green lit ....or Randy has given up selling and hired his 67th manager. 50/50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people in charge of Watford sound a bit mental, but not that mental. They must have someone pretty good lined up surely. With due respect I think your being harsh- they finished a comfortable 14th not just goal difference. Someone else has suggested Pearson to Watford- well if he is good enough for them, he's definitely good enough for us right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2016 If Watford replace Flores with Pearson then they're **** mental. They won't though. I imagine Watford have someone lined up for the job. I have a funny feeling it will prove a good move to sack Flores, just like when Southampton sacked Adkins and Leicester sacked Pearson. People are surprised by it, but I think that's how clubs are successful these days. Move managers on before things get stale. With the odd exception obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost that game because we didn't take our chances and gave the goals away. Rinse and repeat for 38 games and you get relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Quique will get a job back in Spain at a top half team I reckon. I rate him as highly as Koeman tbh who seems to be flavour of the month atm. They have similar CVs anway. No chance he manages a second division team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 We are in limbo as a club. Nothing is happening at all. The sooner Lerner goes the better and then perhaps maybe, maybe, we can start again. Until that glorious moment as Villa fans we are living in purgatory. All shade, no light. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, toss up between him and Pearson at the moment for me, based on who we've been linked with. Didn't he get sacked after a season?
