toon25 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Would hate it if they got Woy. He'd be an absolutely brilliant appointment for that fucking circus of a club, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Also, had better players at his disposal managing Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. @ManDoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMLeazesender Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I can see I stand alone on this but I still think its to our advantage. I can't see the players lifting their game for someone who they know is not going to be there long term and the same applies to the fans, they must be sick of it.

The Prophet Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hodgson will surely have them playing like Brazil circa 1970. Worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the fans seem against the idea, should've said. Dunno who their fans will accept. Given the board went for a manager who the fans didn't want in the summer and it's been as disastrous as it has been, I'm unsure what they'll do. If they weren't in so much trouble I'd have seen them giving it to Ferguson to the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Cheese Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hodgson was booted by Watford's owners at Udinese 20 years ago On Saturday a report in the Daily Mail quoted Hodgson as saying: "Udinese is an extremely strange club - Inter by comparison was a cakewalk." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2001/dec/10/europeanfootball.sport2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is chaos at Watford, worse at Everton. Norwich have some consistency but might not have enough quality, likewise Burnley. Like the latter two we might lack a bit of quality but our camp is absolutely united together, fans, ownership and staff all pushing in the right direction with positivity. Hopefully we pull away and before it goes down to the wire! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We re the only team on a positive ascendency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
