You certainly wouldn't leave a job to go there, would you?

Presumably they get a decent pay off from their contracts?

58% win rate and 14th in the table with an average squad in Premiership terms.

Yeah, of course get rid of him.

A very interesting place to work and to be dismissed from. The views of the CEO on it are pretty clear - https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/15620958.watford-ceo-scott-duxbury-looks . Two years is your lot.

the sporting director, who presumably has a big say in player recruitment, appears to have convinced the ceo that all problems start beneath him.

If you are referring to Giraldi, he was dismissed too.

For all that they've spent a lot of time in the PL lately so it's not easy to argue they're wrong.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Well, that made me laugh!

i thought they needed stability higher up the chain?!

Mind you, if I must be in the gig economy, I'd like to be in it at this end.

I could start on how this throws a mirror on modern society, and how people/workers are totally expendable in the pursuit of riches/success by the few at the top, but I won't

I tend to agree. Brutal it may be, but Watford gents I chat to occasionally point to where they were when Pozzo bought them compared to where they are today.

Where exactly do Watford think they should be?

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

The way Watford go through Managers they must have some sort of payoff agreement in their contracts.

Step forward Forest and QPR. It ends in tears. They had four managers in 19/20 (five if you count Mullins who was caretaker twice). It also limits the pool of available managers.

If you want to read a good book on it, Michael Calvin "Living on the Volcano".

Two weeks to get someone in and change a few things before the next match.

Well there's Chris Hughton, and maybe Arteta will be available soon too, but since the tabloids are already writing his name I'm sure, I might as well call Tim Sherwood.

Eleven of their last thirteen Managers have been foreign so I expect another.

I believe a certain Mr M Hughes and Mr H Redknapp might currently be available.

The Watford approach to management is pretty typical in other European leagues, Italy particularly. Managers understand it, so there's no particular resentment AFAIK.

However Watford is owned by the Pozzo family, who also own Udinese and used to own Granada.

They made their money from the Freud industrial tool company and then from selling Freud to Bosch.

They operate all of their clubs as profit making enterprises, with the major source of profit being the appreciation of players' registrations while under contract. They are much less interested than "typical" owners is the club's performance (though maintaining a position in the top two tiers is essential to their business), and will always fall out with a manager who values a club's results over their "player development" business.

Yes The "player development business". This is quite interesting - Remarkable CAS award concerning Watford. A "trend of dubious agreements" around alleged signing of Mamadou M'Baye from Cadiz in July 2018, allegations of signature forgery, no medical took place & senior club figures did not attend to explain -

It's a ludicrous way to run a football club but it seems to work every time.

Never knowingly right.

Off topic, but the one night I spent in jail was due to an MDC concert and Delores Huerta getting roughed up by San Francisco police.

Bruce has done a hell of a job keeping a very average squad in the top tier for the past couple of years. He has done every bit as well as Rafa who revered while Bruce (who is one of their own) is maligned. All this while being under constant pressure of the sack, botched take-overs and Ashley - he deserves a lot more credit than he gets
