Pork showing from the hornets though. You have over-egged yer omelette, there. For me. A bit less is more.

bert tann Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Watford would have made an approach for J Barton who is now, undoubtedly, the greatest manager in Rovers history. But they know their place and accepted there was little chance of attracting him away from a much bigger club. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I hope Edwards and Watford fail. Interested to see who FGR go for.

robin for life Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Was he out of contract at FGR? I can't see how this can be done? Surely RE can't just resign and take a new post, and if he's under contract then FGR surely are due compensation or something. Unless he was out of contract at the end of the season, I can't see how this has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince said the compensation clause is equivalent to 6 months wages - so peanuts for Watford He had a clause in his contract that he could speak to other clubs if approached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) As a semi-regular at FGR this season, I must say I’m rather disappointed in this. Edwards has been an excellent manager and there was no doubt that clubs would be interested in him, so there was always an understanding and realisation that he’d leave the club via another role rather than a sacking. But it’s a low blow in terms of the way it’s been done. I have no doubts whatsoever that had Watford asked if they could speak to him that FGR would have agreed, and he’d have left with their best wishes. So I don’t really know why they would operate in this underhand manner. Will be interesting to see where FGR go now. There was speculation before Edwards that FGR might go for Emma Hayes!! Wonder if that’s back on the table? One thing I’m sure of is that they won’t appoint someone from the ‘usual merry-go-round’.

But if Edwards had integrity he would have told Watford to ask FGR for permission to speak to him first, permission they would have given. Can't say I wish him well in his new job.
