1960maaan Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 I know it was going to happen, Wilder was short term, but Valérien Ismaël is the new Manager. It was due as they've only had 3 this year. That takes it , by my arithmetic , to 21 managers in 10 years That has to be a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get told to get on with whatever squad they are given which is probably part of problem as players quickly decide if they like him or not . This chap likes physical players - well we hardly have any now and not confident we will get those sorts in either . Fans have actually backed a few sackings in the past but do think it has got silly in the part 2 seasons - particularly the Edwards one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Even at another club, I'm not convinced I'd see Ismael as a long-term appointment. As Watford manager, I'd not bet on him lasting until the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
