    Those two would scare the living daylights out of most committed pros.
    However not sure most of ours have it in them to be frightened.

    He's 54 - should slot into the squad nicely.

    Unfortunately cannot play..

    Knew how to defend and took a decent free kick/penalty if I remember rightly?

    EDIT: Scored his first goal for West Ham against us apparently!.

    Good at golf though - tried to be a pro I think.

    I reckon no wins in the next three could genuinely see him go. Then everyone gets to have a laugh at Watford FC again! In Gino we trust.

    Joking apart -this is the first time that Gino is actually quoted that it’s his decision to appoint SB - no Duxbury shield so if we don’t get up or look like we are then in my mind it’s binary as to why- either it’s the overall quality of signings ( or lack of defensive upgrades) or SB - both directly on Gino.

    Fantastic news about Julian D icks joining. All we need now is Vinnie Jones and Neil “Razor” Ruddock to join. That will soon sort out the whimpy mentality our boys have. Need Vinnie Jones just to stand in front of Giaretta every training session. Give Ruddock a bat with barbed wire on the end, and whoever fecks about in training and during a game takes a strike of the ball too the balls from D icks!

    Premier League here we come!

    How many hardman coaches and managers have we had over the years to little effect? At best, you'd say it's an unbalanced squad not good enough currently for promotion, at worst, they're simply unable to be motivated

    I would have little motivation to work hard at my company if those around me couldn’t care and my company apportioned the blame for failure only on the manager and the workers were never held to account

    The best part of that is how the opponent got up and got on with it.

    "D1cks Out" as the amusing book of the '90s had it!

    My wife says she likes D1cks, but truthfully, I'm amazed she had even heard of him!!

    I blame myself.
    I seem to be the spectre at the feast.
    I have this at the club where the hierarchy tolerate abject coaching because they have a dogsbody to save them the trouble of doing anything.
    The same appears at Watford.
    Mean culpa.
    I seek penance.

    Just let the cahunt Pozzo manage the team. After all he makes all the other decisions. A real nadir today.

    He will be gone after Norwich if not before. Absolute discrace the way this club breaks promises to new managers. Bilic has made some strange decisions but so did Rob. It doesn't matter to the players' it never has. Deeney, Luther, Cotton and a smatter of others played for the shirt. None of this lot do, and the owners certainly don't give a damn because they never take responsibility.

    I can 100% see this happening soon.

    Lose next couple .

    Already probably unpopular with the players after openly criticising them.

    Good -we are onside with Bilic on this-the players are unpopular with us fans.

    For all the initial good things he said it seems to me like he knows no one can do this job-like GT when England manager "its an impossible job"

    So he trying to deflect blame onto either/both the players or Gino for "selling" him the role-I suspect many of us feel that no manager like either RE or SB can motivate or leave them to carry out instructions.

    Most of the football world expect the Watford manager to get sacked so it will do him no harm when looking for another job so why not speak your mind.

    I doubt he'll be sacked before the WC break - but he's the exact type of person who might walk.

    I hope he does.
    Not because I want him to leave but because finally someone would show to everyone what a mess we're in.

    Never underestimate Pozzo!
    There are no bounds to his increasingly alarming "thinking"!
