Ridiculous that they've given Flores 3 months and no transfer window to sort it out. 

 

I know they won't, but the next appointment needs to have the potential relegation in mind and look to promotion. But Watford don't think long term.

does ranieri have a job? for some reason i think he would fit perfectly with what the watford owners want, and be an absolute disaster in reality. 

 

I think he's at Sampdoria. Plus, his brief time at Fulham might put them off.

Hughton is well overrated because he’s a nice bloke 

I thought he did a pretty decent job at Newcastle, Birmingham and Brighton if my memory serve me correct :dunno:

He's a good manager but I don't think this is a good fit at all, there's no real difference between him and Flores tbh

Maybe, but I think that's a bit too defeatist, the is probably the best season to be in a rele scrap because a few wins you're about 8th. No point conceding defeat yet when they can easily put a run together. If I were them i'd get a rele specialist in, or an actual attacking manager.

Spent a lot of money at Brighton to just keep their head’s above water every season. They could barely score too. He’s fine for getting a club promoted and will keep them up but that’s his ceiling.

That's Watford relegated for me. It'd take a massive boost of energy and a manager with both a tough hand and the convincing personality to drag the Hornets out of their misery. Sadly, I can't see it happening.

Are they better than Everton, Newcastle, Brighton, Villa? Nope.

 

No reasonable manager will want to join a club with such a revolving door policy.

Watford have a decentish squad but I wouldn’t want any of their players even as squad players which says a lot.

They didn't do enough in the summer. They have good players, but they needed some fresh faces. Squads become stale. Even if that meant moving some on too.

Their fullbacks are shit. One of the most unforgiving positions, not a surprise we were poor at the back when our fullbacks were any of Schlupp/Konchesky/De Laet.

It doesn’t help when they sign 10 plus players most seasons with loads of loans so players have no commitment.

 

Its only a matter of time before they go down again even if they get out of it this year.

I didn't realise Holebas is 35 until recently. For a team playing wing backs, how are they expecting a 35 year old to cover the length of the pitch for 90 minutes I'll never know. Plenty of good youngsters in the divisions below at reasonable prices.
