Silvio Dante Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Betting has been suspended on new Watford boss with Edwards, currently in charge of Forest Green, slated to take over. Seems a progressive move but also out of kilter with how Watford have appointed recently. Would imagine it may lead to the next location for Kane Wilson too!

CodeRed Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Last night Dale Vince tweeted @DaleVince Intense media speculation - calls, emails and texts tonight. We’ve had no approach from Watford, which we would expect - it’s the proper way to do things. And nothing from Rob - if it’s being discussed then it’s behind our backs. Today the Watford Observer confirms talks have taken place and it's going to be announced today 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he can make his fortune at Watford whether he succeeds or fails. No brainer for me. Back yourself to win promotion and be a premier league manager, knowing if it goes wrong you paid to be sacked and then get a league one or two job again anyway. 16 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree….in a merry go round of the same old names getting touted for jobs, this is a great opportunity. Might go horribly wrong, might go really well. Its no different to me thinking Semenyo should stay here another year, when reality is that if he gets an offer to go to PL, he’ll probably take it. Can always come back down. Its not like normal jobs is it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t Edwards is thinking I shouldn’t better myself in case it goes wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your confidence that he would be there long enough to take them to the Premier League. That person would be 2 managers away. Anyone who lasts more than 2 months at Watford is doing well.

Wealwayseatcheese Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Sky just interviewed Dale Vince, annoyed that it’s been done behind his back and that he has heard nothing from Rob Edwards. They have a plan B and will crack on with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 One can only assume that although Vince dangled a carrot in front of Edwards that said Lettuce take FGR forward together, he ultimately soya ambitions were greater and therefore at Watford Edwards could bring home more bacon. Pork showing from the hornets though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWANG50 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Lee Johnson quickly faxing his CV to Dale from Scotland no doubt... Pretty terirble show from Edwards he owed FGR a lot more than that but I guess thats football these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wilsons etc will probably be on the bus to Watford as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torquay did that with Leroy Rosenior. Sacked 10 minutes after he put pen to paper. LR took it well. "I think I did a fabulous job for those 10 minutes," he said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Utterly bizarre from Watford if this goes through, can only speculate that they can't really afford a name/import as they're still paying off their last 5 or 6 managers...... From Edwards Point of view you can't blame him for giving it a go, also sets himself up very well when he inevitably gets sacked next week!! Poor behaviour though on his and Watfords part. Absolutely disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
