Billy McKinlay

Seems to have some good experience without ever being No1. He's worked under some good managers too and has international experience.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_McKinlay

He will always manage to do better than Garcia's record which reads. P1 W0 D0 L1!

What do you all think on McBilly? Is he first team coach or all over manager? It could mean a change in structure from the Pozzos...

 

The record books will show him with a 25% win record - during his time - one win two draws and one defeat

 

Not how I see it really, the other games his assistants were in charge.

Anyways, isn't this strange?

from this article

Hornets’ chief exceutive Scott Duxbury added: "Everyone feels it is important that there is continuity in the coaching structure. Ruben Martinez and Javier Pereira will therefore continue as Billy McKinlay’s assistants. "We appreciate Oscar’s candour in placing the best interest of Watford FC ahead of his own personal thoughts and we wish him well for his future in football."

So Garcias old staff are staying and McKinlay has to work with them! Continuity - hahaahahahahha!

"In Billy McKinlay, we have someone with the qualities and significant experience to build further on the foundations already laid for a successful season ahead." Jesus, let's hope so, we've had some stupid upheaval recently, which can't help on the pitch!

 

all very odd.......

 

I agree with that but it's all rather exciting in its own way. Can't wait to see how the players react tomorrow.

 

I have to say I think this will be a good appointment, might get Malky as his assistant in future...???

 

everyone that wanted beppe out should think we was 2ond when he was asked to go BEWARE everyone i have booked our tickets for the next two games

 

I would imagine that Garcia's staff are staying because Garcia himself is not going back into management anytime soon. TBH I find this whole thing, Sannino forced into resigning through player power, Garcia's health and now managed by a complete unknown pretty crap........ and if we don't get 6 points from the next two games then the writings on the wall for how the rest of the season will go

 

We'll top the league tomorrow night

 

i do hope so i have only seen away at charton then home to bournmouth son had to work for both blackpool and blackburn so the omens do not look good

 

Keep the faith, 5 zip win tomorrow believe.....

 

i will be there with the rest of 1881 giving all for the next two games then back to the us so our results will get so much better till march lol

 

I hope we win for you!

 

I can't help musing on the fact that the Leeds owner has a reputation for getting through head coaches (or melons, as he chooses to describe them) quickly, and we are proving to be better than them even at that.

 

Excellent! Where are you sitting?

 

Ok that answers that question! Lol come and say hello)

 

i always were a shirt with " GRANDAD 60 " on the back please come over and say hi

 

So Billy McKinlay is to be coach. Well done the Pozzos, returning to the recent examples of promoting from within. OK so BM has not been here as long as Malky Mackay or Sean Dyche, but at least he was a member of staff for a few days before his promotion.

 

4 managers in less than a year,still a British coach,a step in the right direction

 

Greetings Rowland

and.... with all thus upheaval we are still in the top 6...what if we had a half decent coach....could we do?
