The Athletic reporting that Quique Sanchez Flores will be sacked tomorrow

Made sense to rehire him .....

Well it did at the time. But the only thing it's proven is that it's not the manager that's put Watford where they are.

Let the management merry go round begin. Arsenal, Watford, Everton  next?

To be expected. Oh well, he can now go back to painting.

They'll probably re-appoint Mazzari.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Or Marco Silva.. That would be fun.

The should approach Eddie Howe to fuck with Everton

[please, I have my reasons for it but...]

Apparently the criteria to choose the new guy will be that he is out of work and never managed Watford before, feels like a tailor made job for Fat Sam.

We'll that really narrows it down doesn't it.

Knowing Watford, they'll probably go for the Spanish/Italian versions of Fat Sam or Alan Pardew.

Aaaand they've sacked him again!

[Yiannis]

Just a normal weekend of Barclays. That's all I want.

[rafathegaffa83]

No surprise. They're doomed. Sounds like Chris Hughton is the lead candidate to replace him

[Port_vale_lad]

Have they rehired him yet?

How are Barclays involved?

We play them soon right? Just our luck we'll be facing a new new manager bounce.

Yeah they might only be a bit shit now.

[jillcwhomever]

He's gone, what a crazy decision that was.

Their next manager will be their 13th since 2011.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Not bad money for 85 days work, nice compensation package and home to Spain for Christmas.

[Crosby Nick]

Goodnight Sweet Prince.

[Phil M]

Get Marco Silva back in.

[Linudden]

I've no idea how such a badly-run club always seems to scrape by when (relatively) solid clubs like Swansea, Stoke, West Bromwich and Middlesbrough went down. Defies all belief. I've been predicting Watford to go down three years in a row, but this might be the year or is that too much to hope for?

Given how well that family (used) to run Udinese, it's just really strange.

[Buck Pete]

Hoping they get an old school grind out results type of manager in before Wednesday's game against Leicester.

Pearson? Never saw that coming...

[skipper757]

Pearson would be interesting.

In the 2013 Championship playoffs, when Almunia saved Knockaert’s last-minute penalty and Deeney went up the other end to send Watford to Wembley, Pearson was in the other dugout as the manager of Leicester.

[Buck Pete]

Pearson is back!! yay

The guy is a stone cold lunatic

Psycho Killer, qu’est que-ce?

Last time he came to Anfield he somehow escaped with a 2-2 draw after we’d been 2 up. Day it was announced Gerrard was leaving. Let’s hope he leaves a bit angrier this time.

Are you an ostrich?

[Crosby Nick]

Give it 3 months:

“Nigel, results haven’t been as good as hoped. I’m afraid we’re terminating your contract.



Nigel? Did you hear me, I said you’re going to have to leave. Nigel?

Nigel, what are you doing? Nigel get away from me please, you’re starting to frighten me. Nigel!”

[Buck Pete]

Are you an ostrich?

Had to google this.

Good old Nige

[thaddeus]

Pearson's first game... a trip to Anfield.  A slight chance of new manager bounce, they might at least look like they're organised which is more than they've done for a long time now.

Is his first game not tomorrow?

[MolbyLovesGravlax]

He's not managing them until after, but I am sure he will show up and will get credit if they get anything because he farted in the dressing room or something.

Is Foster still classed as a ‘young player?’ He’s got to be pushing mid 30s.

Not any more, he must have aged 20 years during the first half on Saturday with the length of time he was taking over goal kicks

ha, how the ref didn't book him I'm not sure. And he only played one minute of injury time!

[Clayton Bigsby]

'Young' Ben Foster is one of the funniest most consistent things on Rawk. Long after he stopped playing for the Mancs he is still called that. So juvenile but still makes me laugh

Same as Lingard. Young talent with bags of potential.
