keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I bet they don't paint the Manager's name on the door or car park at Watford. Or if they do, the bloke has a fulltime job. Edited September 26, 2022 by keelansgrandad 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can imagine the door with a ton of different drill holes where different locks have had to be installed cause the previous occupant never returned the keys! 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted September 26, 2022 Only one point outside the playoffs on actual points. But way off on expected points. And that's what matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted September 26, 2022 There was s theory that the appointment of Edwards showed a willingness to move away from their previous strategy and try a younger coach to build something long term. Clearly that wasn't the case. But still, the approach that they've been using for the last decade or so has, largely, been successful. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted September 26, 2022 I believe manager came from Forest Green. Will get generous pay off and probably get his oid job back, FGR struggling in Div 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted September 26, 2022 Bilic already appointed, they don't eff about. They have a strange model for a club of similar size to ourselves and invariably end up in the same league as us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt it. He went about talking to them behind FGR backs. I mean… why would you jump to Watford knowing what they’re like?! Mind you, why hire a L1 manager for a promotion push?! Baffling all round. Glad we’re not Watford… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted September 26, 2022 Edwards sign a contract for 1 season, it's now autumn so he had his time. Billic to see them trough to Winter The sacking of managers is a joke, may be they should only be able to be replaced during the transfer window?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,545 Posted September 26, 2022 It seemed as though there would be a change in their ‘hire ‘em and fire ‘em’ approach but obviously not. Lots to talk about with my mates down south on our weekly Zoom meeting this Thursday 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad we’re not Watford… Yeah, the owner, that Ecotricity guy, went on the airwaves saying how disappointed he was at Edwards and how the trust and faith he'd shown in him had been ignored. I doubt he'd be welcome back there in a hurry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted September 26, 2022 Its how far away they are away from automatic which is what I suspect really counts. 1 win in the last 7 is nowhere near good enough for Watford and their strikeforce (even without Dennis) in this league. I dont think this is good news as I'd imagine Bilic will only make them stronger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And given the speed at which they’re going through managers, we should only have to wait a couple of years and everyone in the UK will have had a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
