Zola Leaves Watford

[Worthingite]

Is that a serious question, lack of football knowledge or just a dislike for WBA?

The latter!!!!

Only recently mind, I feel like the Chairman there has developed delusions of grandeur -Binning a manager off with the class of Steve Clarke is a real dick move. They let Megson and Robson get away with a lot worse for a lot longer!!!! I always believed they were a decent club with a decent board, but I'm disgusted by the way they've acted.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Spurs or West Brom?!?!? Can't see him being popular at WHL, and to be honest, is West Brom much of a bigger club than Watford?

WBA have always been a far bigger club than Watford in almost any way you can compare.

Zola got the best out of Vydra who is at West Brom, if that could be classed as a connection?

Fair play , tis is a very good reason

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

It is the domino affect, bet there are a few more managers worried at the moment

Not sure he is cut out to be a manager tbh.

He wasn't Watford's manager.

That is how you do it Gus, with a little bit of dignity. You should have asked your mate for advice before acting like a ****.

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.

Apart from playing success in the 1980s. But that's about it.

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

Gus wasn't a slave, he could have walked anytime he wanted to. Just like Zola did.

Yes that's true, I was just saying that he asked to leave and was 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

Duplicate

 

[Ernest]

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

No agenda my friend, just think Gus could of gone about things a bit better, if he'd resigned and written an open letter along the same lines as Zola, he'd have gone and there wouldn't have been the uproar like we've had since.
Don't get me wrong I loved Gus when he was here, but the whole thing stinks.
But hey, the king is dead, long live the king.

Reckon he may be Moyes replacement

Leaving in December is different from threatening to leave in March. After Gus was sacked he still said he wanted to stay here. It was the boy who cried wolf scenario.

No 2 to Capello at Spurs? Funnier things have happened and Capello is 67 by which time most have retired.

I think Zola would make a really good assistant manager, dunno about Spurs though

You've nailed it there mate..... spot on.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

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

Yes, he did well last season with all those Udinesse stiffs ....

 

[theboybilly]

....... and to be honest, is West Brom much of a bigger club than Watford?

Absolutely

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

He's a bit too nice really.

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.
