People are saying Javi Gracia is possible, former Malaga coach.
Hate to say I told you so but ye the hype was big
That's an image I could've done without.
That doesn't even feature a quote from Silva. How was he flirting with Everton?
So leave him in position for 6 months then sack him?
They did what? That statement is ludicrous. They better appoint a manager they will be convinced no one else will want, otherwise, they have the same "problem" again.
Doesn't this mean that appointing Silva as manager wouldn't come with any financial compensation to Watford?

Next Southampton manager.
His most impressive part of his job seems to be “Annoyed the English press” so not surprised.
try and read stuff in the Honet's Nest- you will see what the fans think/thought about it all
I see the top ten favourites are all foreign, except for Steve McClaren. Jose Lopez is favourite.
results, man, results. he flirts with the bluenoses, he wins, no problem. he flirts with the bluenoses, results nosedive- no brainer: "sacked in the morning!"
What is wrong with this Prem. Sacking Marco Silva - in my opinion one of the worst decisions. I hope he joins Mourinho.
LOL... I apologise but I read that at first as "jennifer Lopez" is fave
Maybe they will go for Pulis- he's out of a job
I don't care what the fans think. I want some kind of evidence that he was flirting with Everton. So far, you haven't provided any.
Didn't know that, three out of five clubs is worrying. Do you know the reasons behind it?
It's more like "our manager talked to another club about leaving just weeks after he took on the job which caused him to lose the dressing room because everyone knew he was not committed".
Yeah, they seem to really not like him.
See last phrase of that post mate.
Pulis is at Middlesbrough. Took over there about a month ago.
Pulis is at Middlesbrough! So not out of a job at all!LOL... I apologise but I read that at first as "jennifer Lopez" is fave

At least they didn't thank him for being rubbish.
Glad he’s gone (as a watford ST holder). He poisoned the dressing room, creating rifts, and contradicted what the board said every week all because we asked him to honour his contract just 3 months in when Everton came calling. The players could sense his half arse effort in training and performances were terrible after we rejected Everton, after an initial impressive start.
Its a tough job with a dressing room full of players who are constantly asked to gel and get to know each other wth the chopping and changing every window, buy Silva did this on purpose. He even publicly questioned the club giving a back up player a new contract, as if it was such a big deal.
Good riddance.
Next manager is Javi Garcia aswell apparantly. Don’t know much about him, obscure appointment as per usual for Watford.
Sounds like the right decision then.
Give it to Deeneysy till the end of the season.
But everyone will blame the board. He pulled some of those stunts at Sporting plus trying to infest the club with players without quality represented by his agent. There's a reason the vast majority of Sporting fans dislike him dispite being the last manager to won us some decent silverware. He's a snake.
Watford seem to blame the run of results on Silva's head being turned by Everton earlier in the season and perhaps that is true. Anything other than that and it's a hasty decision. I know they are on a poor run of results, but they are still 10th and not in immediate danger. I think he's guilty of doing a bit too well at the beginning of the season which makes now look worse. No one would bat an eyelid at Watford being 10th if the results were evenly spread out.
On a slightly unrelated note, I don't expect Watford to take part in managerial merry-go-round, so would expect a left of field candidate.

Read the club statement.
His name got swapped with Pochetino in the poll.

Watford are ridiculous. Who do they actually think they are?
Half deserve it for all the ‘cojones’ bullshit Deeney spewed on TV.

So instead of committing to that line at the time and accepting the £15m buyout Everton offered, they waited 6 months then sacked him having to pay him money to leave... great business sense.
I would think the losing of the dressing room was what took 6 months.
I suppose it goes back to the “no point in keeping a player who want to leave” line (though in this case manager). You may as well cash in while you can. Same situ as Alexis Sanchez
Could you imagine this happening like 4 months ago? Incredible.
He'd be strangling the opposition managers.If Pellegrino gets sacked by Southampton which I think will happen fairly soon. Silva will be amongst the front runners for the job, if he doesn't get it then I can't see him getting anymore cracks at Premier League clubs. The Everton speculation has damaged his stock.
That wasn't what happened though. Watford 'apparently' demanded 15 million from Everton, hardly an unreasonable demand when they'd hired him just months before and it was during the season so it would have caused chaos to their league plans.
Everton refused to pay that. So no move.
There's actually no way to stop a manager from moving, they're not like players. They can resign, if they're not asses and just hankering after the payoff. The other club can pay out their contract.
Watford set what was imo a reasonable price to take away their manager considering the circumstances. Everton refused to pay and Silva refused to resign.
Its also quite reasonable then that if you're paying your employee millions for him to get on with the job of managing the team. From the statement, it seems like he did not.
Also shows just how quickly things can change in football.
This season has been the only time in my life where Watford have looked like a good team. My guess is it will be the only time.
10 games is nothing if it's the right manager. Is anyone else going to get them playing like they did at the start of this season?

I can see this from the Watford point of view. They had a manager who had come in, set the team up well and had achieved 15 points from their first 11 games. That's 52 points across a 38 game season and comfortable safety.
Another club has come in and made an approach for him. They've set an asking price for him but the other club have refused to meet it. The manager has his head turned, loses focus and in his following 13 games achieves only 11 points. That's 32 points across a full season and guaranteed relegation.
