Watford are set to appoint former England boss Roy Hodgson as their new manager.

The Hornets are keen to make a swift appointment following Claudio Ranieri's dismissal on Monday with the club in the Premier League's bottom three.

Anyway, I thought Hodgson was stepping down.
Didn't expect him to return in the Premier League.

Very good

I wonder if Hodgson and Ranieri passed each other on their way in/out.

The next guy after Hodgson is probably on the M1 as we speak, if he's quick enough he might pass by a sacked Hodgson driving away.

Isn't he like 95?

Will this dinosaur ever retire? Guy will be managing a PL team on his deathbed at this rate.

 

[UnitedFire]

Extending his record as oldest manager to manage in the Premier League.. 74

 

[charlenefan]

Fecking love the title, well done

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I give it 2 months.

Thing is Hodgson could turn them into a solid outfit but he'll never get enough time to do it.

Soon to be Roy Hodgone

PL clubs will be doing seances to appoint him manager in the future

Very nice fresh take on sack watch. I approve!

He won’t last until the end of the season. Just a weird weird club. I don’t really know what else they expect with their style and standard of recruitment. Isn’t Sarr their biggest signing and that was years ago now? Weak in midfield and defence and always ready to sell their best player if a decent offer comes in.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Leave the poor man in peace, ffs!

 

[FootyGirl88]

This man deserves to be enjoying his retirement.

 

[Red Shorts]

I was expecting the requited sack watch, but this titles better!

 

[Reynoldo]

love it

 

[Anustart89]

Title

Poor old Woy, can only see this ending one way. Woy's a legend in my book but he needs to retire. Again!

 

[RoyH1]

Absolutely love the thread title

 

[STaphouse]

This man deserves to be enjoying his retirement.

That's why he's joined.

He'll get a fat pay off in a few months so that he can properly enjoy it .

Hodgson will be 75 in August.. Though will he last at Watford until then is a question.

 

[Noot]

At the job interview I'm assuming the owner said "are you free around the end of April for a quick meeting? Just need to pencil in a time slot for your sacking".

 

[Reditus]

great title. Well done

Seriously though I do worry about Roy. He gets super stressed, and Watford wont be good for his health. Surely he can just enjoy retirment at this stage, he has earned it

[Freak]

Do watford spend more paying these managers compensation for their sacking than on actual players?

 

[Dan]

 

[Grande]

A manager that will never quit joining a club that only wants to sack. There’s a Woody Allen flick in there somewhere.

Fast becoming a parody of a club! For our entertainment though

Give it a few months, and it will be corner flag tweet

What a dreadful unimaginative appointment if that is. Good grief.

I hope they go down now - either them or Newcastle. I’d absolutely love Norwich to finish bottom, Burnley to finish second bottom then let Watford and Newcastle fight it out for the last relegation spot.

Burnley v Newcastle on the final game of the season should be good. Chris Wood sending Burnley down would be biblical.

 

[GhastlyHun]

I wonder if Hodgson and Ranieri passed each other on their way in/out.

 

[Red the Bear]

Didn't he retire?

Watford are so fascinated.

It will be good to get some fresh new managerial blood and innovative new ideas into the PL. Good appointment for Watford
