..... maybe seek retribution by suing ..... Marco Silva: Watford blame Everton as they sack manager 15 minutes ago Watford have sacked manager Marco Silva, blaming Everton's approach for the Portuguese in November as the "catalyst for this decision". The Hornets have won one of their last 11 Premier League games and are 10th in the table, five points above relegation after Saturday's 2-0 loss at Leicester. In a statement, Watford said they were "convinced" that 40-year-old Silva's appointment in May "was the right one" and, without "the unwarranted approach" they would have "continued to prosper under his leadership". The statement added: "This has been a difficult decision and one not taken lightly. "The catalyst for this decision is that unwarranted approach, something which the board believes has seen a significant deterioration in both focus and results to the point where the long-term future of Watford has been jeopardised."
