    I hope Cleverley goes scorched earth and says it wasn't his choice, the club have betrayed him and the fans, he was promised support and didn't get it.

    Don't give the ownership any veneer of decorum or respect as they deserve none.

    The owners would simply reply, we supported him in the summer and he demanded Jebbison.

    Do we really think Jebbison was his first choice striker?

    Can only judge him by his own words. Same way Call Me Rob took the 'credit' for Bayo.

    Protests and boycotts can work, but you have to be committed to them. I was part of one here for the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2023. Result: MLS Cup win in 2024.

    Im not saying he wasnt involved. I suspect he pushed for the best striker he could get, and then publicly supported him when he arrived.

    I doubt he went into Gino's office and said - I demand Jebbison or I am walking.

    Suspect much the same happened with Abankwah.

    All the yesmen get got eventually. The ones that stood up to them, like King Marco, have their reputations soiled despite being right.

    Because the last 21 guys haven’t been the guy.

    Comedy gold this isn't it, or at least it would be if it was happening anywhere else.

    Had deficiencies in the squad that weren't previously addressed yet have mostly over performed in the first half of the season, despite the current **** run.

    So we came into this window desperately needing a striker, two in the squad, one **** loanee and an 18yr old youth whose limited previous experience was in Mali, no naturally defensive midfielder which has been obvious for a while, long term injured first choice keeper (I know, hooray) and one left footed left back who is also on loan. So with a week to go we have loaned (unless it is a Tikvic style loan) in a very young centre back to compliment the other 7 centre backs, not only that we have then proceeded to play him at right back ahead of the 3 right backs we already had. On top of that it also now looks like arguably our most effective attacker is also now out for a couple of months.

    Off the back of this it would appear that only a Spanish manager nobody has ever heard of is the man to achieve a successful conclusion to the season!

    Think what you like of TC but if this happens he will be scrubbing himself raw with carbolic soap for months to get rid of that smell.

    There will never be ‘a guy’ under Gino. I guess that’s the point.

    More fool anyone, myself included, who felt that hiring TC would be some sort of difference maker.

    Gino Pozzo stood in front of fans and said he wouldn’t change. This is his policy and that’s that. No wonder he feels emboldened to make the change quite frankly.

    You mean 200 odd emails spelling Cleverley’s name wrong didn’t change him?

    Silva was the guy, but he couldn't bear to sit in the dugout near our rancid fans.

    Mazzarri could have been the guy, but he was banished by a witch, with the full support of our rancid fans.

    The common denominator in all this is not Pozzi, it's our fans.

    They're the scum of the earth you see.

    Good old Gino.

    Does things totally his own way and ends up with a club nobody wants to buy off him.

    Plenty would want to buy …..but not at his valuation.

    Do you regard yourself as a Watford fan? If not, why do you post so frequently on this forum?

    I assume that you include yourself under the description "the scum of the earth" if you do regard yourself as a Watford fan.

    Hence referring to “doing it his way” (ie, the price he is asking) :)

    We must be. I've made almost 10,000 posts in this cesspit and a piece of me dies every time I click Post Reply.

    But I can't leave until my Like : post ratio exceeds 100%.

    Ok I'd assumed that meant poor decisions/wrecking the value of the club rather than setting too high a valuation.

    I've made 38,000. What's that,.... a couple of years of my sad life ?
    To get that ratio up we're going to need to see more of that hidden warm, cuddly, friendly side. I don't see it happening, but an extra "like" helps you on your way.

    Tomorrow’s (today for those of you living in England) the day we get to say goodbye to Cleverley. Fully expect a defeat, poor line up and tactics yet again. Followed by no changes at HT, then predictable subs around the 60th minute, a slight up tick in performance around the 80th minute once the game has gotten away from us. At FT the fans chanting Cleverley’s name, as he waves goodbye knowing his desk was already cleared out by Pacheta whilst at the game. Glorious!
