Vladimir Ivic - Ex Head Coach

I had an exchange of posts with Burnsy which basically covered what I said to you in my reply. Whether you believe it or not with your toy throwing out of your pram antics isn't my concern.

 

Yes I said he wouldn't apart from the 2 scenarios. I got nowt to own up to.

 

Genuinely don’t even think this team needs over coaching right now.

4-4-2. Sarr & Sema wide. Any combo of big man slightly smaller man up top. Ngakia, Femenia, Foster & any two centre backs.

Football is a simple game IMO.

Hi GT, can you come back and manage this team please? Pretty please

 

You’ve been rumbled mate. Deny it all you wish. There are articles out there tonight saying it’s because the owner is disillusioned with the style - yet you know better. As you’ve claimed for weeks. And been wrong.

 

This is where I get my point about Pearson being ideal in the championship. That’s precisely what he did in the Premier league, too simplistic to be sustainable there (especially with Gerri injured) but likely more than enough in the championship.

 

Football may be a simple game but our centre mids and our strikers are all varying levels of turd, which complicates things.

 

Lancashire telegraph saying he has now gone.

interestingly I can’t find the club quote anywhere else.

 

Lanchasire Telegraph have gone big and stated we've sacked Ivic already and issued a statement! Didn't know they were the new ITK local rag now!

Its funny that the posts were exchanged with you yet you still claim i'm wrong. Enough said mate, lets move on.

 

Jesus christ, the lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy is staggering.

 

Hahaha. That's come from a fake Twitter account which posted those exact words with the flag picture a couple of hours ago.

Embarrassing journalism.

 

If anyone has any gossip about what went on behind the scenes re player rebellion, Deeney bust-up etc, please post. No matter how tenuous the source. I live for this ****. I don't think we can top Pearson punching Masina at half time, but you never know

 

I have nothing more to add on the subject. Case closed.

 

A genuine question and not one trying to start an argument - who would have played left-back today with Kiko not available?

That was the only reason I could come up with as to why Ivic went back to a 3 centre-backs today.

 

They've always got their fingers on the pulse when it comes to Watford FC

 

Wilmot wasn't too terrible when he played LB was he?

 

Indeed it is, because everyone here knows explicitly the position you have taken, what you have been saying, and what you said this afternoon on the Shoutbox.

 

It's a fair question - as folkestone has said, I would have gone with Wilmot. Or, perhaps made a positive move and started with Masina to see how long he could last, given the fact that he was fit to play at all. Or, if I was prepared to put Marc Navarro on at all, field him at right back and Ngakia at left back; a role that he had at times played in his days as a West Ham youth.

 

You told me in the shoutbox last week there was no chance he’s getting sacked. You’ve said it to others. You’ve added caveats as the weeks gone on. I could care less about games of ‘I told you so’. But you’re just denying things you’ve clearly said to people.

You’re also ignoring the reasons that are being given for his sacking by those closer to sources than you and suggesting it’s for one of your mythical acceptable reasons.

Charlatan.

 

I thought he was pretty good and some of his passing with his left foot very accurate.

But that's with hindsight. If he'd started with 4 at the back with Wilmot at left-back the criticism would have been strong as of 2pm.

 

Watford managers reign at Watford:-

Dyche 0 days
Zola 17 months
Sannino 8 months
Garcia 4 days
McKinlay 8 days
Jokanovic 8 months
Flores 11 months
Mazzarri 10 months
Silva 8 months
Gracia 20 months
Flores 3 months
Pearson 7 months
Ivic 4 months
Next one ???

 

Here we are:

 

Cynical hat on. Of course they expect him to be sacked, it's what they've been working towards.

Edit: And there they go, job jobbed

 

Gits.

 

Anyone who wants to set the team up to attack.

 

I'm backing Emma Saunders.

 

Watford fc site says Ivic now gone.

 

Hopefully it’ll be Mooney so we don’t have to listen to his ‘commentary’ on Hive Live any more...

 

I hope the case is closed by all 3 of you. So I don't have to plough through any more.

 

No wonder we are the laughing stock of English football. What a shambles all round

Genuinely would not be surprised if it's given to Deeney as a player-manager role, similar to what Rooney had at Derby
