Barham's tash · Apr 30, 2022

Not the well oiled debate that is their ownership strategy but a couple of observations based on tonight’s MOTD viewing:

1. Are Roy and Lewington the highest aggregate aged manager and assistant manager pairing in the history of the game? By my reckoning it’s 139 years ffs.

Training must be fun. Bet they have to have the defibrillator on a trolley that follows them round.

2. Why do the Watford fans never show up? The usual empty spots in that corner adjacent to the away fans and more surprisingly the permanent temporary main stand looked like it was purposefully social distanced.

A bizarre club all round.

18 managers in the less than 10 years of the Pozzo family ownership.

Trying 2 ‘Red Adair’s’ in one season with Ranieri and Hodgson flopped spectacularly.

If she were the last 'bird' without a dance partner at the end of the evening, you'd be off for the last bus home.

If you have any sense Roy retain your dignity and pen your resignation letter now before the axe falls. You know it's coming anyway and you have absolutely nothing left to prove to anyone.

It really was one last job too many, and God only knows why you decided to take it.

I imagine the spaces in the crowd are due to this being their 11th straight home defeat in the league, confirming their second incredibly limp relegation in three years.

Yeah, and a bit rich considering Watford's a small place just outside london, and the fact that the east lower opposite the cameras at the Amex is always full of gaps especially up towards the North stand. I just can't fathom why so many ST holders in that area don't bother showing up compared to anywhere else in the ground?!

As for Watford, I'd not be happy the Pozzo family's ownership and how they're running the club. Complete joke that they've 18 managers in 10 years!

I'm glad Hodgson took them shades off. I wondered if he was dead and they left him there for appearances.

You might, but I love a challenge me.

The resigned look on her face, as we left, probably wouldn't bode well for the rest of the evening.

Especially when you know she has ****ed 18 different blokes in the last 10 weeks

He’s only on contract till the end of the season anyway so no real point in resigning now…..

Another side along with Norwich and West Brom who have a business model of trying to be a yo-yo club and using the parachute money to cover debts. If they stay up it's a bonus but there won't be much investment. Three provincial teams with attendances between 20 and 25k and very little in the way of shirt sales and tourist fans. They need to do something.

Next season the Pozzos will find a way to draft in a dodgy player or two, get in a foreign coach we've not heard of, sack him by Christmas and still come back up.

I don’t know why but the term ‘dug out’ made me chuckle with reference to your post.

You mean where the family stand is - correlate your statement to clubs making it difficult to pass tickets on

I'm afraid that was my hope after we got the Amex, but keep it to yourself :wink:
