    Would any experienced managers have come to us at that point? We've established that Boothroyd deserved a shot at the Prem, but when King got injured quite early on, which manager worth their salt would have taken over the challenge of trying to keep us up?

    I'd like to see the fanbase adopt a zero tolerance of this kind of spin/BS PR/fake news/vacuous buzzwords and lies from the club.

    Scott lies to the fans cos he's too stupid to realise we can handle the truth. He thinks his job is to manipulate and gaslight the fans into having a more positive view of events when most fans would much rather just hear the truth.

    The truth is: 'We lost our minds after the FA cup final and destroyed 50% of what we had achieved in the space of 12 months. We are trying to learn from our mistakes but we are competing with clubs with much bigger budgets and/or much higher levels of expertise (eg Brentford). The bottom line is that the club is in a much better position than when we took over and a new owner would almost certainly be worse. Better the devil you know'.

    Also the side-lining of Matthew Spring, who hardly got a look in, after being one of the stars of the previous season. An attacking midfielder, set-pieces taker and goal threat totally ignored.

    The senior admin team all exist in there own little bubble where opinions and strategy change at a drop of a hat (and yesterday was windy day in so many ways) to suit a particular circumstance. Then comes the re-writing of history and another layer of Teflon is applied.

    It seems weird having a millennial using the phrasal verb 'freak out'. It emerged in the 60s and was also widely used by Gen X. It just doesn't seem right for a person of your age to use it. Can't your generation get off Instagram long enough to make up your own words, expressions and phrases?? Asking for a friend.

    None would of course, what you quoted was purely hypothetical. But I think there were some managers who could have got more out of even a King-less squad - Allardyce, Curbishley, Coppell (a manager I always wanted to manage Watford, alas doesn’t look like it will ever happen), Mark Hughes, Martin O’Neill. But of course that’s the problem with a club the size of Watford, especially pre-Pozzos - we couldn’t buy/develop enough quality players or attract/recruit the higher caliber managers needed to keep us in the top flight.

    He didn’t look up to it in the few games I saw him in, but looking back, you’re right, he should’ve been given a more of a go, in place of an older and less creative Mahon or a Francis who went missing half of the games.

    Blind Scouse midget in Watford goal shocker! The wholly independent 'Marching on Together' Leeds Utd news outlet has found someone who will regularly open his gob to provide an unconvincing argument. In this case little Michael Owen was prepared to suggest that yesterday's Meslier clanger was properly chalked off for a disgusting foul challenge by Kabasele on the innocent Liam Cooper who is well known for his fair play. Well done Michael and MOT, I've changed my mind, you're probably right (you utter tw***).

    Well Ian Wright and co certainly disagreed on MOTD.

    And people say ex players would make better officials as they know the game and make the right calls more often?

    What could be worse than having the chippy Weeds fan shout across three courts "thanks for the points"?
    Having him text you on your return home ( some four hours after the event) to feign shock at the coach's removal I would suggest!
    I have put him right.
    If he persists I will ask why a man in his early sixties,whose family have no connection with Yorkshire,is a Leeds fan.
    Sap!

    Sorry if I'm repeating something already put up here on the site, but I notice somebody has posted the two teams' respective pass maps from Saturday on Twitter:

    Truly embarrassing, inexplicable stuff in comparison.

    Pathetic, thank god he's gone. Lovely bloke but can't even coach the basics. And some people wanted him to stay!
