If it is the case that Javi was "in the waiting," then why not get one of his team to install everything beforehand and act as interim until he is ready? I don't believe much the club says nowdays.
The trouble is no players want to be dropped which is understandable and at our club is seems easy to go and make a fuss particularly if the manager cannot communicate or express himself well .
Yes least with Javi fans won’t be singing “getting sacked in the morning “ or mocking his lack of English in club videos . Will bring a more positive feel to the place Javi likes a smile too . Let’s hope he is doing that after matches a lot !
So important to have a relationship with the fans. We all loved TC....even with bad results...no abuse
Some fine memories from Javi's last stint https://www.watfordfc.com/news/2025...-best-javi-gracia-s-greatest-watford-moments/
Gracia will be facing some of his successors in the first few matches . They can have a glass of sangria and discuss life at WFC!
They say there is always a rat within 6ft of you, which can also be applied to ex Watford coaches/managers! They are never far away!
