    Don’t know what to think. Probably no better choice, but it is still not good. The timing is awkward too.

    Never dull with WFC!

    Good heavens.

    Why is the timing awkward? Nearly 2 weeks until next PL match and still some time in the window.

    Correct decision made, but only if we can bring in a suitable replacement. Think they will go for experience this time

    Timing is fine, FA Cup next week so they can get someone in for the next Premier League game.

    Good riddance to the arrogant ****.

    Watford Football Club has parted company with Marco Silva.

    This has been a difficult decision and one not taken lightly. 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.

    The catalyst for this decision is that unwarranted approach, something which the Board believes has seen a significant deterioration in both focus and results to the point where the long-term future of Watford FC has been jeopardised.

    For the security and success of the football club, the Board believes it has to make a change.

    The Club will seek to make a swift appointment and there will be no further comment until that appointment has been made.
    The bit in bold is scathing. It suggests that Silva wasn't making decisions with the best interests of the club in mind.

    Silva’s own fault but Everton home is going to be noisy after the club statement.

    It is a shame but he only has himself to blame. And Everton for acting so snidey.

    Absolutely correct.

    Surprised he could get his massive head through the door at London Colney.

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    Lost £15m plus we probably have to pay him off to leave.

    Vialli number 2?!!!



    Edit: ha - the site changes his name automatically to the bald italian!!!!

    He seems very well thought of in general, except by those who’ve actually watched his team play this season. I get the impression he’ll walk into another decent Prem job and Watford’s cooky foreign owners will get the blame.

    Who do you want as a replacement, presuming it’s going to be an interim guy until the summer?

    FFS. Bad decision. Never given a chance. Best looking manager we’ve had since QSF. Now we’ll get some pork scratching face in charge.

    I wonder if they have a replacement in mind and his time was up, or if the search starts now. I really hope we don't have a managerless spell with continued current form. It goes against the idea that this is to be blamed just on injuries at the club and that there have also been some serious behind the scenes problems. Also its a big deal essentially calling out Everton for their behaviour - wonder if they'll be looking to take it further

    With hindsight agreed. But in the grand scheme of things £15m wouldn't have made a difference. Silva performing like the first 10 games Silva was worth more to the club than £15m which is why the offer was refused.

    Anyone other than Silva will be an improvement.

    A little dig in the ribs to his career, warning possible future employers that he's unreliable and will jump ship.

    This is the thing, no matter what we might think of him, when one of the usual relegation suspects sacks their coach, he'll easily be in the team along with all the other no marks who are always in between jobs but always hired by get another club.
