Pearson sacked by Watford

[Crafty Canary 495]

And we were criticised for dumping Hughton with a whole 5 games to go.🙂

He is no Chris Hughton that is for sure

Why would we want him?

Hes struggled to keep a very physically powerful, expensively assembled Watford team in the league?!

As someone who lives near Watford and knows lots of fans down here, their supporters are not at all "entitled" and are very unhappy with the way the club is run - effectively the coach/manager is always very temporary and runs the team within an overall club system. He therefore has nothing else to do apart from get results. The hierarchy believe that every manager has his own limited time period to be effective in order to keep the players focussed. This comes at the cost of having absolutely zero community involvement or impact, with lots of overpaid players driving massive cars and generally behaving like idiots - the one exception being Troy Deeney, the reformed jailbird who is a local hero. The football they attempt to play is slightly more ambitious than Burnley's but not much.

If they come down they could lose pretty much every decent player, either back to Italy or to other London clubs, because that's the only reason they're there, and their entire model could implode - but it looks like Bournemouth's result today has saved them anyway.

He's also quite a weirdo

If DF is off, and like previous posts ‘10 second fuse’ would not be welcome then if we need a kick **** - Malcom George MacKay.....

[Hardhouse44 261]

Good on Watford. If that’s what they believe is needed to do secure there premiership Status then I admire them. That’s what is needed ruthless mindedness for the top. Wish we had some.

IEddie Howe might be available soon?.....He's clean cut, quite unassuming and also he seems very nice.....A 'Nodding Donkey' Eddie type would really fit in well here - and he certainly wouldn't rock 'Das Boot'..... 

Not quite so clean cut, I have a mate who's brother worked at Burnley, he very much left there in suspicious circumstances.....

[The Real Buh 3,423]

I do really like Pearson. I think we do need to get out of this psychology of being a nice club. That projects on to the pitch and we get bullied at times. We win games by being more skilful, which doesn’t happen often in the premier league.

[TIL 1010 4,718]

Just reported on MOTD that Watford have yet to make a statement confirming his departure.

I think he was always a temporary appointment but the timing is bizarre. 

Webber and Farke to Watford if they stay up?

🤞😂

[wcorkcanary 4,329]

He a passive aggressive  nutjob, reminds me of that PE teacher that Broado and I encountered in our teens. Complete loose cannon, anyone remember him pinning whoever to the deck with his fist clenched? It's a No from me.

Pearson would also probably chuckle at and totally ignore and bypass Webber and just do his own thing.....

He would probably be a very good fit here! 

[Bill 1,788]

Under-23 coach Hayden Mullins has been appointed, and will be given

 

 

 

 

..... until Sunday evening to bring about the changes needed, and will be asked to step down if the club have not avoided relegation by then

Eddie Howe? Cant stand the Head boy sounding FA puppet, we are probably a bit far from his mums house too as apparently she still washes his underpants and socks, not sure Delia's  up for laundry nowadays.

👍   DF is softly spoken, but I dont think he himself is at all soft, look at how he dealt with NelsonO. Gave him a chance , he took the Pi$$, end of career  at Norwich, no messing ,   no public slagging  , just sit over there till we can unload you. I like that. DF to stay and complete his contract , by which time hopefully  we will be begging him to stay. 

[Uncle Fred 526]

The plan is clear when Farke gets the sack nepotism Tom will take over, 

you couldn’t make it up 

[The Real Buh 3,423]

Eddie Howe can’t leave Bournemouth his mum needs him home for tea every night

Must be a total reverse in thinking with Drmic then Corkio.

If you pish off the supporters you are guaranteed a start.

Well, Oliveira disrespected the entire management. 

Drmic has just worked hard every time he's played and not delivered enough. Circumstances slightly different..

[A Load of Squit 5,113]

Next season Watfords policy will be to name the next manager as one of the subs for each game. 🙂

Is this bit a really bad attempt at a joke, or are you just completely clueless?

He took over on 6th December with them rock bottom and 7 points from 17th (3 points below us), won 26 points in 22 games and guided them out of the relegation zone. He ended Liverpool's 44 game unbeaten run in the process.

Watford have more 5 more points from his 22 games than Norwich have from their 37 games this season.

Worked miracles!

Must be the bluntest statement ever

https://www.watfordfc.com/news/club/club-statement-nigel-pearson

Watford FC confirms that Nigel Pearson has left the club with immediate effect.

Hayden Mullins, with Graham Stack as his assistant, will take up the position of Interim Head Coach for the Hornets’ final two Premier League fixtures of the 2019/20 season.

There will be no further club comment.

[TeemuVanBasten 3,327]

Watford are a complete basket case of a club, the owner told Troy Deeney that Pearson had been sacked before Pearson had actually been sacked.

But despite all that there is still a chance they could get relegated with us.........

Which at 1.18 points per game average under Pearson, wouldn't be down to him.
