Welcome Bloother, I agree out of all the realistic names listed and considered so far, Waddock is my favourite. I have forgiven his tarnished playing record!
Yes, you_orns, welcome to not606 . I think there's a reason Laws has so much experience with teams staring relegation in the face... .
Latest Betting Odds Next Permanent Watford Manager Sean Dyche 4/7 Mark Robins 2/1 Dave Jones 5/1 Brian Laws 5/1 Graham Westley 7/1 Lawrie Sanchez 12/1 Aidy Boothroyd 12/1 Neal Ardley 14/1 Gary Waddock 14/1 Derek McInnes 16/1 Chris Hughton 16/1
The list of odds is not inspiring, there are some really frightening people on that list. I'm still sticking to Gary Waddock, when you think about it he's one of the few where you wouldn't be embarrassed to own up to. I don't want a novice manager right now, and I guess that's another reason to go for someone like Waddock. Chris Hughton has had better offers than any Baz could muster, so cross him off the list.
Sadly we aren't the most attractive of clubs to apply for a job to but then if they like working with young players and want a where there would be no great pressure then who knows.. Wouldn't fancy Laws TBH but maybe that's because his last job was such a mess.
Surely not! Laws would be a poor choice if we were in League 2. Do we not have a £120k salary and £300k compo to play with? On a 3 year deal that is a good wage isn't it? Maybe BB is trying to pay off the £10m debt in 5 months rather than the five years scheduled.
