Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted September 26, 2022 I've always said I'm not against sacking managers and don't see it as the sin that some people do, they are well paid employee's just like players, they don't hesitate to move on if a better offer comes along and so clubs should also want to upgrade when given the opportunity. But Watford are really taking the pi55 now. They've been successful in spite of how they deal with managers. Their owners wealth and proximity to London means they can attract good players and they play really pragmatic football and fill their team with pace so they always do well but I'd struggle to link their success in any way to how they hire and fire coaches.

I believe the door is actually a revolving one and the car park is a drive through.🔄🚘 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a strange model for a club of similar size to ourselves and invariably end up in the same league as us. Maybe their owners read their primary fans message board..... and take their cue from that. If Delia and Co did that, Paul Lambert would have returned as manager at least 4 times in the first 3 years after he left. 🤷♀️😇 .....and Dean Smith would have been sacked for drinking Tea .....from a Mug!!!!

Sign me up 👍 I was thinking this as soon as I saw the title. I'm a contractor, wish I could take a job then get myself sacked and paid off in full. In football management the more you get sacked the more money you get. Steve Bruce must be living in the Taj Mahal.

City fan 78 Posted September 27, 2022 That must be the first manager sacked in years by Watford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin time 182 Posted September 27, 2022 Perhaps they could wait until the transfer window opens and then sign seven or eight managers ,instead of players, to see them through the season. Just a thought.📝 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,178 Posted September 27, 2022 Apologies for mentioning Christmas this early but I heard a rumour that Watford are producing a special advent calendar for their players this year. Its a 24 bedroom hotel. Each day the players get to knock on one of the doors and see who's managing them that day! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 252 Posted September 27, 2022 I’m amazed how anyone would be inclined to take up the replacement manager role at Watford, considering everyone must know how vulnerable the job there is. I suppose it probably wouldn’t matter if they’re unemployed though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted September 27, 2022 I could be Watford manager and that's the frustrating thing about all these managers getting pay offs for doing sod all. The owners buy the players so you have nothing to do with that, they don't bring through young players or improve what they have so you don't have to be a good coach. You just have to say to their lads, sit back, win second balls and give it to Sarr to run with when you win it. That's it and when it goes wrong you get millions in your bank account. Every time someone gets the Watford job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
