Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Zola for about an hour and he is a truly sincere and decent man. I will always wish him luck.
My thoughts too. Maybe he goes back to Italy and gives it a go there? Not sure what he could pick up here, certainly not a Prem team
Not to stir this old stuff up again but if Gus had been allowed to resign in march like he is rumoured to have perhaps that is exactly what he would have said but don't let your agenda get in the way.
Also how is on Saturday saying he didn't think he was the person to carry Watford forward much different from the hit the ceiling comments?
his other comment "There is always the next challenge and a new environment ahead which means nothing is ever the same."
doesn't sound like he'll be out of work long
Yes that's true, I was just saying that he asked to leave and was CORRECTLY told to stay to the end of the season and if he had left a lot of people will have the same bitterness despite what they say
Yep, too nice. But people want nice it seems, at the time that Gus said he'd like to manage Chelsea one day, some were praising Zola for the way he handled the question. But we'll see who will be the biggest success in management.
Another great player but useless manager and will no doubt get another job and be a failure there too. It's called the Bryan Robson syndrome
Gus timing was great wasn't it? Asking to leave in the middle of a promotion push; words fail me. Oh, and who knows what he would have said, but I doubt he would ever be as dignified as his mate Zola.
The infamous 'hit the ceiling' quote is a dig at OUR club. Zola is nothing but dignified in his words about Watford. You obviously have a right to your opinion, but really... if you can't see the difference, then you need help.
To be honest i don't think any manager resigning (except possibly in cases of untenable situation Eg Mackay) is particularly good or dignified. It is giving up when times are a little tricky. Also is 20 games into a season (halfway) not the middle of a promotion push or does a promotion push only happen in the last 10 games or so? I thought seasons lasted 46 games?
BW, aren't Watford in the middle of a "promotion push"?
resorting to insults again, well played sir. Either Zola is moving to another job or else he's decided he's not cut out to be a manager at all and if the latter is the case then fair play to him for admitting it and i will take back what i said however i don't see a lot of difference between the two leaving (excepting the obvious saga that continued after the initial resignation attempt) and my point was IF Gus had been allowed to leave in March then there is a good chance you would have got some similar PR drivel to placate the fans.
Mine too. Zola has consistently shown more class than Gus could ever muster.

Corrected for you. Oh, and Gus leaving in the middle of a promotion push would obviously and justifiably leave a bitter taste in the mouth of the majority of our supporters.
FFS. Watford are NOT CURRENTLY in a promotion push. And March is not December.
Thank you for confirming that you need help.
13th, and heading down rather than up, so No.
If he wants another job there will be plenty of other clubs with vacancies coming up.
