GeordieM1969 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Fair play to them, decisive action taken to address concerns with what's being delivered on the pitch. Poor form from last season (despite reaching a cup final), carried over into this season ..... sounds familiar, doesn't it ? Whether it works or not we'll have to wait and see .... but at least they've done something to change things, rather than just hoping and waiting for it to turn around !

shaun.lawson Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 11 managers in 8 years. They're unique. But it works for them: in terms of Watford's natural size (bottom half Championship club), they're overachieving massively. This is the second golden era in their entire history, and it's all down to the Pozzo family. Whose ideas are comparable to Romanov's in a way: just minus the ruinous overspending and occasional barking at the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveins a legend and he’s done a great job rebuilding the club but at the end of the day football is a results based business. 4 losses after a great season and he’s sacked, Leveins won four games in 2019 and she’s staying loyal to him. No other owner would stick by a manager with that sort of record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budge has certainly done a fantastic rebuilding the club in terms of the stadium, our finances, the corporate side and administration. Levein has not rebuilt the team successfully over the last few seasons that’s for sure. He gets credit for rebuilding the Academy but what specific improvements has he made there??

He brought Robbie Neilson In which was a great decision and got us back up straight away which was no easy task with hibs and Rangers. I reckon last season could have been excellent if it wasn’t for bad luck with injuries. We have one of the best squads we’ve had in years. We’re seeing the rewards of the work he’s done with the academy and I think there will be a lot more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe he has built a good squad. He just doesn't seem to know how to play them. Which shouldn't be a surprise when a different player arrives almost weekly while one seems to get crocked weekly. September really should be a more settled period on which his job I would imagine depends upon. 3 very big games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re seeing the rewards of the work he’s done with the academy and I think there will be a lot more to come. Agree with you. All this chat of losing the dressing room and being clueless etc... We get some great results against teams and play some cracking football, like against Murderwell in the cup. I really think we need a rub of the green and a few results on the trot and he will have us flying again. And yes, the last 10 months has been brutal for results, many performances and a ridiculous amount of injuries. And quite a few of this games have been lost by individual mistakes. A manager can't be blamed for these. I love Berra. But the more I see him the sadder I get. 2019 has been a very, very substandard (going by his high standards) year for him.

Poor form from the end of last season - start of this season Watford have policy of rolling contracts and changing managers regularly and it's kept them in the top division for a few years now.
