  • It's a case of if you want to believe or not.

    The A to Z of I believe ;angel
  • Just check the fixtures we have 9 homes games and only 6 away games left
  • I wanted Moyes ;wahoo

    We're only 5 points above relegation still so i wouldn't get too excited just yet... ;whistle
    That's not good, is it?

    Now, if we were only 6 points off 8th, that would be something to be cheered up about...
    You don't change divisions by finish 8th, G. You do by finishing 18th though.
    Would be wrong to be complacent and assume we're safe
  • Not sure anyone has 'assumed' we are safe.

    I was simply offering the other view; our glass can be seen as half full or half empty, as one chooses to look at it.

    When Slav left, we were still only 6 points off 8th, but 1 point from 17th, and in the bottom 3.

    In 11 games we had collected 9 points, with a -12 GD

    In 12 games Moyes has taken 16 points with a 0 GD

    I think we can all agree there has been a significant improvement.
  • I'll go on record as one who assumes we are safe (I now think there are at least 3 teams worse than us and at least 3 who will continue to do worse than us). ;wahoo If you'd have asked me a few games back, I wouldn't have formed that opinion yet....
  • I agree that I believe we will be safe for the same reasons that Baz mentioned above, however I think that WHU have at least one more scare up their sleeve that will worry me before this season is out.

  • Big sams 1000th league game tomorrow, the games most decorated manager sir Alex says what makes him a top manager is his ability to get results for what’s at his disposal, ah well what do we know ;whistle
  • Watford sack there manager now as well
  • Watford sack Marco Silva
  • ;hmm

    He was reportedly our No1 target when we binned off Slav.

    Can't see him getting a job in the PL before the summer.

    I wonder...
  • And without naming Everton they saying the distraction became too much etc, they were supposedly offered many millions by Everton , perhaps they should have taken it then...
  • Makes you wonder who Watford think they are

    Watford owners have always been basket cases when it comes to managers...

    Since they took over (2012, in the summer) when Dyche was manager, they have had 8 managers. That's 8 managers in 5 and a half seasons.

    That club statement. The Club is convinced the appointment of Silva was the right one and had it not been for the unwarranted approach by a Premier League rival for his services we would have continued to prosper under his leadership.

    In other words, there was nothing wrong with our decision making, it's all Everton's fault. ;hmm

    (PS. Hull fans will no doubt be chortling over their cornflakes at this turn of events. )
  • wow... Watford do love a sacking don’t they....

    Stoke already struggled to find someone to fill the job...

    I wonder if it will be sparky....
  • The front runner is Javi Gracia, nope, I've never heard of him either. He formerly managed Rubin Kazan and Malaga.
  • ;hmm

    He was reportedly our No1 target when we binned off Slav.

    Can't see him getting a job in the PL before the summer.

    I wonder...

    What on earth would we want with him? He got Hull relegated last season and was doing his utmost to follow suit with Watford this year.
  • I'm not saying we should go for him. Or that the board will.

    But it also wouldn't surprise me if they did.
  • OCS

    I'd be really surprised if they didn't appoint Moyes and his team on a 2 year contract.
  • And know I didn’t want him but I believe he’d deserve it with some of the football we playing along with the results fa cup excluded
  • Slaven to Watford? ;hmm
  • Good call, there’s worse out there
  • edited January 2018
    I don’t think Bilic should manage a team in the Premier League ever again, not good enough and simply not up to the job.
  • I think that is a strange sacking as early season he had them playing way above the sum of their parts and looked safe, they have hit a slump but the main issue is I don't see the managers available that would have their head turned by Watford, which means they could struggle and fall into a relegation fight that should never have happened. I think they will stay up but have just brought that into question more than it was yesterday in my opinion.

    Slav may serve them well as although he has limitations I think his strength is in the short term and his arm around the shoulder style can help bring a team together. It would of course depend on what options they have but as Cuz has said, there are a lot worse out there. Although I will confess one I would have put into that category is currently saving palace and impressing greatly.
  • The owners have fingers in European club pies... so may well bring in a manager less well known over here.
  • Apparently gracia already in place to take over on two year contract
