Watford sack Xisco Munoz

Watford doing Watford things
They sack managers like a european elite club
I’m going to say what we’re all thinking: he didn’t have the hair of a Premier League manager.
They're 14th.... What the feck do they expect ?
Bizarre.
36 games, he must be one if their longest serving managers in recent history. They make Chelsea look like a picture of serene stability.
Silva will be back, won't he?
Pathetic club, Watford
Watford truly is Chelsea Lite.
If only utd were so brave......
Are they still owned by Pozzo family and now led by the son of the big, unfortunately passed away founder? No Mazzarri, Guidolin or Malesani in sight, then… a next gen wonderkid like Pirlo maybe??
Watford are a right bunch of weirdos aren't they?
In his year or so there he got them straight back up and not like they've even started that badly this season? Beat us well on the first day, won comfortably at Norwich and drew with Newcastle last week so getting the points off teams they need to stay up. When you look at their 11 aswell, Sarr aside, it's probably weaker than what they got relegated with in 19/20.
Ranieri until the end of the season by the looks of it.....

Hardly a surprise.
Finally a job for Eddie Howe. It's close enough to home for him.

I'm sure their results will improve immediately.
Well they’re yo-yoing between the two leagues so they’re not doing too bad despite these managerial sackings. It’s clearly working for them.
They’re ahead of Leicester
Rodgers out.They’re ahead of Leicester
That is extremely optimistic.
Palermo looking through copyright infringement laws right now
A few years ago they were reasonably established in prem and signing really good players for their level like Roberto Pererya and Delofeou.
Two years ago they messed up badly getting Quique Sanchez Flores back as terrible run under him basically relegated them that season so this is crucial appointment.
Ranieri didn't do much at Fulham in similar situation although they were firmly bottom 3 when he turned up there while I don't think Watford are bottom 3 bad, will do enough and get to about 40 points I think.
I think they’re looking for a Hail Mary type of an appointment that will get them performing way above their ability, at least for a while, anyway.
Imagine being a newly promoted side and throwing your toys out of the pram because you're in 14th place.
Who, and who?
Llompart out. Lampard in?
oh Watford I mean, it really shouldn't come as a surprise anymore - every Watford manager is on borrowed time as soon as they sign their contract. But heck, that's crazy ... they are 14th, what the hell do they expect?!

A statement read: “The board feels recent performances strongly indicate a negative trend at a time when team cohesion should be visibly improving.”
Crazy decision
Nothing new
Wow. Often you think some of these sackings are daft but you can at least understand them. Watford have some really good forwards this year and have had a couple of good results already. Unless they've got Conte lined up to replace him this is utterly bizarre.
They are the counter to the 'look what Chelsea achieve by changing manager regularly'. Won't make a difference whatsoever, they will finish within the same points range.
They might think they may not qualify for champions league.
The new manager bounce is a science
They were absolutely shocking vs us yesterday, like really dire, but were still only one baffling refereeing decision away from a draw. I thought other than that they'd been doing quite well. Took a look at their forums though and they were absolutely despondent and to a man calling for his head.
I think Watford's owner just rolls a pair of dice when he wakes up each day and if he gets double 6, he sacks the manager.
It's been going on for a while. There is a Llompart out thread from last year.
Nobody does it quite like WatfordThey sack managers like a european elite club
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Better football? Better coaching behind the scenes? Better results?oh Watford
Or maybe someone became available who they want more?
These are all things a club is able to act on at any time they choose.
