I mentioned Zenga tongue-in-cheek, as he is EXACTLY the type of hapless big name appointment these clueless chinese businessmen seem to gravitate towards (as Wolves found out to their cost this season). Zola is very much in that ilk, albeit not quite as much of a dunces choice as Zenga, as he...

He'll be up all night for Shane Duffy

Really ? Watford was playoffs in his first season, but lower midtable halfway through the next, and he's failed abjectly in 2 more jobs in Italy and Qatar (!!) since then. Personally, I'd be (1) absolutely STEAMING at the sacking of Rowett, and (2) gutted and underwhelmed if the replacement is...

Exactly. OK, they got a bit of a clump at Newcastle and a surprise coupon-busting stuffing at home to Barnsley last week, but they were back to winning ways last night and are serious contenders for top 6. Rowett had them punching well above their weight this season, so those players are really...

There's no way it was anything to do with Rowett whoring himself around IMO. It just doesn't fit in with his persona, he's got a good rapport with the players and fans there and had that club on an upward curve. The defining factor here is that the Trazillion Billion Shiney Trophies Group (or...

Not really. If that was the case, now that they've gone and sacked him they'll get zero compensation.

I think Zenga is still available ?

How will they be playing for Rowett ? He's not there ! Far more likely they'll play like shit and say "now look what you've gone and done, you IDIOTS"

Which would be utterly bizarre. He got Watford to the Playoff Final (which they lost against you-know-who that year), then resigned halfway through the following season with Watford in midtable. Since then he's spent 3 months as manager of Cagliari (sacked) and a season at some obscure Arab...

One things for sure, whoever gets the job now had better hit the ground running. He's going to be under HUGE pressure to maintain and improve on what Rowett was doing there this season, they were certainly punching above their weight to be in the Playoff picture. Absolutely mental decision. The...

Whats that got to do with anything ?

Agreed, it still won't be easy, was never likely to be. But I certainly can't see how this'll help in their preparations to face the most fearsome team in the division.

:lolol: Gotta love these far-east businessmen and their madcap schemes. Whats Walter Zenga up to these days ?

Bizarre. And chaotic. Perfect timing. Marvellous.
