    if he comes across as unsavoury he will have little future...and would he be able to return to Watford as rumoured??

    Thing is I doubt Troy will be that bothered if fans and others don’t now like him or it’s tarnished any legacy .

    He’ll just do and say what he wants and feels like to get enough attention in the media.

    Bit like Ben Foster I guess .

    Exactly - I am sure someone would have said something at the time had Troy really meant it as nothing more than a throw away joke .

    And I get the impression Deeney talks in these podcasts like he is down the pub with mates .

    Another successful season for an ex Watford manager.

    Ranieri gets a promotion back to Serie A.

    This must prove beyond doubt that it was the wrong players at the wrong time that led us to where we are now

    And that we just weren’t that good .

    I mean we had two or three decent results but generally it was poor .

    Unfortunately fans and club just find it easier to blame the manager .

    And we aren’t the only ones now thinking that .

    And Verona retained their top flight status with a 3-1 win at Spezia - ex Hornet Davide Faraoni scoring the first and Cyril, the son of ex Hornet Michel, Ngonge scoring the other two before being red carded.

    Robert Page finding out the fickle nature of football.

    From a hero for getting Wales to the World cup last year to a villain tonight. after an admittedly very poor home defeat to Armenia.

    Juraj Kucka still going strong - he scored for Slovakia tonight to help them win 2-1 in Iceland.

    Didn’t Leeds have 3 managers last season ..? 2F0EE1AA-A02D-4393-A6B7-26BA8AEDA048.jpeg Fans saying we should have an Elton song as a club anthem to sing .

    I know we tried to replace Z-cars before but that didn’t work out too well .

    Having watched a lot of people over the past months going into their physio sessions, the fall he had has not done him any good. It amazes me how many young people know all the words to his songs, many of them forty plus years old.

    From what I saw on the TV a lot of fans were in their twenties, he is an icon and his early songs still feel relevant now, the sad part for me was his voice has not survived all his tours

    Lets hope a long rest helps him to repair his health and he can enjoy the next few years
