Watford Vacancy

[South Coast White]

What chance they take Joka back?

[Art Vandelay]

And what chance he would be sacked by Christmas.

Bit of a poisoned chalice at Watford so I would hope he would stay clear.

[WhiteJC]

would he really want to go back having been sacked after getting them promoted?

Going back after they've just sacked a guy who went back would probably constitute some kind of record.  And look at the history - whoever goes there is about to be the 13th manager in a  little over 10 years, albeit some were necessarily short-term caretakers.   (I hadn't realised Dyche had been there)

I talked to a random Watford supporter Friday night and jokingly said "hands off Slav!", to which he claimed that is indeed rumoured. Can't see it at all.

[FFC1987]

To be fair, if they're preparing that they will likely get relegated, Slav would be a sensible option....not for him, but for them.

I suppose the attraction at Watford is that you get a three year contract and  then after about six months you can start thinking of negotiating a big pay off.
