Just had a look at the managers at Watford since the Pozzo takeover in July 2012



In that time, we've had


Vincent Kompany (Jun 2022 to May 2024)
Scott Parker (June 2022)
I wonder how Vincent's ego would have coped sharing managerial duties with Scott? :D :D

Re: Aston Villa vs THE SUPER CLARETS Match Thread

The next two games are bigger than they already were. Need a win or two. Disappointing result today but not unexpected. Snippets of things are okay but overall some of these displays look relegation fodder. Les needs to start the next game and stick to a back four. Dubravka player of the season so f...

Florentino wasn’t on the pitch after being whacked in the head. Despite not needing treatment. Wouldn’t have had that space otherwise. Weird rule..

Re: Aston Villa vs THE SUPER CLARETS Match Thread

I like Foster, and really want him to succeed but he just doesn't have a natural striker's instinct and his finishing is generally poor. I don't think he was offside with his big chance - and a big chance it was. Should have scored.
