They’ll appoint an Italian who can’t speak English, he will be sacked after 14 games and they’ll be in the drop zone. Then they’ll appoint Sol Campbell who despite losing only 3 of their next 18 games gets fired for failing to acknowledge what a great job the board have done. Colin Wanker steps in and guides them to the play offs where he gets sacked despite a 3 nil lead after the first leg. Troy Deeney takes over and scores an injury time own goal to send Stoke back to the Premier league. Or summat along those lines

My bet is 4 and will struggle at the lower end of the table. Gouranga. Sarr looks a talent. Loads of pace he’ll do well in the championship if he stays But I’ll go for 4 managers as well

Loads of pace he’ll do well in the championship if he stays But I’ll go for 4 managers as well When I have seen him he has been shocking with no composure in front of goal. I just don't see it, for me he is worse than Gregory. He might improve but I haven't seen anything that suggests he's very good.

How many managers have we been though in the last two years?
Relegation is shit. The manager merry-go-round is a lottery. It takes forever to find a manager and then it costs £millions to buy them their players, It costs £millions taking a loss on the last manager’s players (if you can sell them at all) then it costs £millions keeping a load of the the previous four manager’s player on the payroll because they had no relegation clause in their contracts and they won’t leave. And about 6 months after the new manager comes in, you realise that you’ve got another dud manager and It costs £millions to pay them off. And then you have to start all over again.
Watford may have all tis to look forward to. But then again, they may not have such a fucked upi set of circumstances to manage as Stoke gave their managers over the last few years.

But I doubt he, and maybe many others, would touch it with a barge pole. ⚓️

Another question is how long will Villa wait to sack Dean Smith. They can't be happy he spent £200m and scraped to 17th with only a perfectly valid un-awarded goal for Sheff Utd between them and relegation.
I think he might go before the new season starts.

Watford as a club have flown in the face of the argument for continuity of players and giving time to managers. And of course have successfully survived for a few seasons until now. You would expect the club to make a management appointment soon and in time for the new season start. They have some very decent players and given the right managerial appointment I would expect them to be top 6 next season along with Norwich

I think they will surprise a lot of people by appointing a young Italian manager with no previous. He'll be immensely successful and will take Watford to the top of the league almost from day 1 (might wait a couple of rounds before they're alone at the top) and they will stay undefeated. On Boxing Day they beat fellow top team, Stoke City, with an unbelievable 10-9 victory.
However, in January Zidane gets the sack and our Italian supermanager is poached away to greener pastures (and wins the Champions Leagye at the age 37). Caretaker manager and the people's choice, Troy Deeney, then loses his first eighteen matches on the trot, and does not get appointed.
Desperate, Watford now turn their faith to Nathan Jones, and you all know what happens next.

Since 2008, they’ve had 17 managers (some more the once). Malky Mackay has been their longest serving manager in that time lasting exactly 2 years. What manager wouldn’t be put off by that?

0. To save on redundancy costs they will go through the whole season without a manager and delegate the work to their mascot. And win the league. A thread will then appear on the Oatcake as to whether the best manager's wear the costumes of indigenous species or whether exotic endangered species are given preferential treatment because of their tactical awareness and ability to bring down a springbok.
