Perfect story sending Bruce down with them.

3 months in the job. Lol

Feel sorry for Ranieri. Total disrespect in my opinion. 

He knew exactly what he was getting into.

That'd be a rare sensible appointment for them. I think he'd have his work cut out mind.

[The Bonk]

I don't see Hodgson doing any better than Ranieri. 

[Ketsbaia]

Bit nervous if they get Hodgson, mind.

[Ronaldo]

Good manager. They certainly can’t do much better in their situation.

[DMLeazesender]

Hodgson is past it imo.

 

 

[Shearergol]

Don’t they want Rafa then?

[Ameritoon]

Surprised anyone with a reputation is willing to go there

[toon25]

Would hate it if they got Woy. He'd be an absolutely brilliant appointment for that fucking circus of a club, sadly.

Watford job sounds great, few months work then get a nice pay off.

 

I imagine the contracts the managers are put on a massively performance based - stay up, top half, probably down to being paid £X to individual league placing - and the contracts being nicely weighted with clauses for Pozo that he can get rid at a moments notice.

 

Not surprising it's the way he does business from his experience owning in Italy, and culture, ability and rate managers come and go at clubs below top tier. 

 

For this reason, it's why no top level manager in Europe will look at Watford - the way they do business just removes them from the market of a manager that would actually be good for them. There isn't ever going to be a guaranteed £Xmillion worth of contract on offer regardless of being sacked.

Think he'd be valuable as a consultant at a better club than Watford. Also, had better players at his disposal managing Palace. 

[Kid Icarus]

Don't underestimate Hodgson in the short term, he's a good manager who's well versed in these situations. He was my pick for us as a short term choice.

[toontownman]

Hodgson will just be in it for the short term. They would appoint someone new in the summer whether they stay up or go down. Can't see Woy wanting another full time gig tbh. 

[HaydnNUFC]

 

[HaydnNUFC]

Hodgson will have them playing disgusting football but it'll get results. Going to be some battle this. Have to beat Everton.

[Kid Icarus]

Yeah, it gets a lot harder if it's Hodgson. Let's hope our signings override it.

[Danh1]

The fact we hoyed 4 points away against them and gifted them 2 to is harder to swallow now like.

 

[toontownman]

Huge pressure Everton getting their appointment right.

Nothing to say they don't spend before window end too.

Well they seem against that Vítor Pereira that's been linked. No idea who they could go for. Don't think Lampard would work and unsure if Rooney would leave Derby yet either.

Think that will be the difference maker, you'd expect. Did he not take West Brom down when he managed them?

I coined the term 'managerial merry-go-round'. I used it on a few different forums and whatnot before it was in common use and then I presume it got picked up. To be honest though, it's not even a particularly accurate metaphor.
