Some weird and ungrateful people. The Don will never be forgotten. This was a nice tribute when he left and hopefully he gets a very rapturous welcome when (if) he comes back.

Nobody's being weird or ungrateful. He'll get a decent reception and rightly so, but our energy on that day should go to our current team and manager first and foremost.

[Bluetintedspecs]

Would much rather us get behind our own players and manager, support them through a tough time!

[Vindaloo FOX]

Thought Martin O'Neill was on his way back for a second.

 

Deep down I would love to see it.

[LCFCCHRIS]

Would love this. Yeah he's an opponent's manager now but without him the impossible would have stayed impossible. Think even under any other option we had at the time they wouldn't have been able to win it.

Nah. That'll never catch on. 

[Bergen fox]

He is not the messiah 

he is a very naughty boy! 

[jeffschlupp]

Not for me at all, this. Round of applause will do, we've got a football match to win.

 

On a related note I thought it was poor that our fans spent a large portion of the lap around the pitch after the Burnley game post-helicopter crash singing Ranieri's name. That was the family's moment, not Ranieri's.

He's in the opposition dugout. 

 

The keyword being opposition.

 

you’d give your own grandma a speeding ticket wouldn’t you?

Ooh, I'd love that as irresponsible as may be. We've now had two men from Northern Ireland who've managed Celtic. Both have won trophies with us. So... welcome Neil Lennon?

[fox_up_north]

Dunno really...he returned after Vichai died. Not best circumstances obviously but a round of applause will do. 

 

For me, I just don't hold him in the same regard as MON or Pearson. I just don't have the same affection.

Was always meant to be CR on that surfer. Painted the torso and the rest of it just before he got sacked. Hence why it was Shakey in a suit which he never wears.

There's a killer lookalike here, but i can't remember the fella's name. Can anyone help me out? It's some old actor, I think.

It was so obvious at the time    That's why the idea entered my head to finally put Claudio into his own suit.

[tylesta]

No thanks lets get behind our own team.

See its bullshite they can't be swapped around.

[Gazza M]

Personally don't care that much about a banner for Claudio. A warm round of applause will be enough on the day if he is still in the job at that point. This is Claudio and this is Watford. Half a dozen games and either could have moved on again.

Claudio, when the first month's pay goes in:

 

 

 

 

[RoboFox]

I dunno, I wish he didn't keep coming back TBH. 

 

He should've rode off into the sunset in the most perfect way ever after that season, never to return to English football with the most wonderfully shiny legacy intact. 

 

He's going to be sacked from Watford within six months, and that along with Fulham is tarnishing it all. 

 

Stay away, Claudio.

[Scanchez]

Let's just agree to bang our clappers extra hard for Claudio.

Then if Watford take the lead, we can boo him.

Boo him and Rodgers.

Maybe boo Perez too. Even if he's not playing. Unless he is and he scores. Then we'll go back to the clappers.

[An Away Move]

There’s a bit of a false binary on this thread - show your appreciation v support our team. We can do both full heartedly. Would love to see a big banner for him. Then after the tribute a Leicester or Rodgers chant, even if Rodgers has been disappointing recently. 

[ealingfox]

Unless we draw them at home in the cup, the messiah won't be returning until next season at the earliest.

 

Or if Rodgers gets sacked soon and we get the third coming that we all want and need.
