I think if we bring in a manager who is ‘out of his depth’, 14th would be a bit of a result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 To be fair to Hughton he is probably thinking - “hmmmm 3 months work at Watford for a 3 year contract - not a bad gig as I head towards retirement“. If they aren’t top at Xmas he will he sacked but everyone will just see it as Watford being mercenaries again so his reputation will still be in tact.

Kibs Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Is anyone surprised? If we REALLY wanted him, and was convinced he was our man, I'm fairly sure we could have had him in place 2 weeks ago, before any other clubs even entered the mix.

Quite so. 2 minutes ago, Maesknoll Red said: Or is it just fantasy..... Well, clearly, if there was a vote for a new gaffer Hughton would win by a landslide but there is simply no escaping reality; we are also rans compared to parachute watford.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Leveller said: Just a quick thought. How do any of us really know that Hughton’s interest is any more genuine than Gerrard’s? Granted, he’s out of work and it makes sense, but who first claimed he was interested? Sky Sports first claimed he was interested a few weeks back. No one got particularly excited about Hughton before that point if I recall correctly but it was a name many wanted.

Dynamite Red Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I can't see Hughton waiting 12+ months for the right project, turning down multiple offers to just accept an offer from a basket case club like Watford, they rotate managers more often than a LJ tombola.

If he’d interviewed and it had gone badly, I’d guess some leak would come out to lessen the enthusiasm. I’d suspect the final three are Neil, Lowe and Hughton. I’d be happy with any of those, in the order of Hughton, Neil and Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see that is good value compared to other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
