    Yes I wondered why he thought he needed to comment too. I think TC would have gone after Christmas had there not been a backlash from the supporters, hence his recent comments.

    Just a thought but it is strange managers can be sacked almost without notice but poorly performing players cannot. If you could sack players as easily as managers maybe they might be more motivated?

    Yes I am sure owners a few wish they could !

    Do players get disciplined for missing games injured too like people can get punished for being unwell and missing work ?

    Major backlash on social media.

    I dont share the view surpirisingly....

    TC a really decent .....but at times we played so poorly tactically....game after game

    Probably won’t want to come here then .

    Think he turned Sunderland down last summer .

    Guess Gino hopes someone has the same impact Le Bris has there .

    If Pozzo had said he didn’t think the football wasn’t good enough and results not accepted could people complain ?

    But Gino kind of shot himself in the foot and elsewhere by saying we had a decent enough squad for promotion and need an experienced coach then appointing someone from abroad .

    By far the majority of coaches in the EPL are from abroad, which tends to suggest that there's not a lot wrong with them.

    Yes ok but they are generally top coaches and have strong records .

    We’ll see - guess Slav and Xisco didn’t do badly .

    Most important thing is to improve the squad if possible.

    Normally Gino has someone all lined up, and says who it is within 48 hours. Is he finding it more difficult this time, or was he unsure about dismissing Tom?

    If you want an out of work Spanish coach, it should be easy to get their name on a contract. If you want an in work one with a French club, you might have to wait another week for the season here to end.

    Yes either way seems no nearer to an official announcement as Alonso is the favourite now ,

    Maybe they have seen or heard about the negative comments on them and decides to think about their options.

    Be someone else tomorrow!

    I see the Watford observer have gone into clickbait mode which they didn’t really used to do previously.

    Had a different article every time a “new favourite “ appears each time the odds change .

    Doubt they know anymore than us .

    Does seem very un Pozxo like to not have made an appointment- maybe the ones he wanted don’t fancy the job or want certain conditions in the role ?
