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

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

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".

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.

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 -

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.

Two weeks to get someone in and change a few things before the next match.
How long has Steve Bruce got?
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
