    Blimey. I was going to answer this but then I realised this might be the first sentence you’ve ever structured that made sense.. so I’m in too much shock to give you a serious response

    Dyche and Deeney as his no. 2 . However.
    The biggest question is who will replace them in October ?

    They have so many options of Managers who have taken teams up, know the Championship and also know the Premier league and what is needed.

    Bielsa, Houghton, Dyche, Nuno as well as Javi, Eustace, Slav and my dark horse Lee Johnson.

    I can see Johnson, who has been linked several times in the past, being paired up with Ray Lewington to give some continuity and experience.

    Lee Johnson has been close before, very close. I'd be surprised if he was still of interest but this is Watford...

    I do enjoy it when Santo is suggested. Considering he had CL level players in his Championship squad like Ruben Neves, it’s a shock they didn’t win all 46 games.

    I doubt, with all due respect, we will be able to secure that level of player in the markets we current work to support his requirements.

    Why would we be interested? His career has gone backwards the last few years.

    Good to see someone on that thread correcting a fan worried about the mess the Pozzos have created financially. “Not at all. They have prepared for this and financial alignments have taken place”.

    I don’t understand fans needing to jump to the owners’ defence when are clearly blissfully unaware of our financial situation.

    Indeed. You have to worry about someone who’s account states ‘purely and only tweet about all things Watford fc. I’

    My favourite part being the lonely ‘I’ at the end. Assume it was supposed to be at the start. Didn’t correct it though as it’s not Watford fc related.

    Would like Eddie Newton to be part of the new set up (assistant). He has been out of work so would think he would want to get back into working.

    Well he showed he was completely barking when at NUFC so may be mad enough to come.
    We should be lucky to attract someone who has "managed Anorthosis Famagusta" (whatever that is).

    Right, so we’ve got Mogi who sorts out our Premier League transfers, and there’s an unknown Georgian who sorts out our Championship coaches.

    Wonderful.

    Didn’t Hull just get a manager from Georgia after their take over ?

    Trouble is we know we need an experienced manager that can get the team motivated and playing with energy etc, but a lot of the managers out there will most likely be similar to what we've had for 4 years and things just won't change on the pitch.?
    Then we look at a younger hungry type manager and it could just be like Ivic all over again.?
    BIG decision....

    Wouldn't mind Nuno.

    Out of work currently and has a proven record of promotion and keeping a club up. Failed at Spurs but was pretty much set up to fail with the Kane debacle.

    Agree, but can't picture him going from Spurs to a Championship club.

    He’d fail with us because the structure around him would be terrible. He was great at Wolves because they had everything set for him to go into, effectively had a top 10 PL team in the Championship. Most people that come into us are set up to fail

    Ah, but you’re forgetting one key point. LESSONS HAVE BEEN LEARNED.

    Non point wasting our first manager of the season slot on a good one, just give it to literally anyone, then when they’re sacked just give it to someone who won’t ask the players to do anything they don’t like and we’ll probably get promoted.

    Might as well leave it with Roy then. The players already hate him and plenty of time to sort out exit package etc before we even get to the summer window. Given his age might not need to fire him anyway.

    In all seriousness let’s hope we can get the sales done early, otherwise whoever the manager is will be on a hiding to nothing having to start the season with half the squad sat up in the stands. Unfortunately with the transfer window working like it does it’s probably unlikely, so good luck to whoever the poor sap is.

    Retire him on grounds of being a certain age?

    Or he might (for a 2nd time I guess)

    Is someone able to put this morning’s Athletic piece somewhere safe?

    From Leventhal's article this morning:

    Given that their recent 'due diligence' has been appointing a manager who was sacked by a club in our exact position for being disinterested and out of touch two years before we appointed and sacked him for the same reasons and appointing a retired manager who clearly views our club with contempt maybe Leventhal should lay off a bit with the condescending, sycophantic tone?

    It’s not that we don’t believe it’s started, Adam, we just don’t believe they know what it means.
