De Zerbi moves up the charts before even managing a game!

I really think Rob Edwards was incredibly naive to take that job, he left a really good position at a progressive club to take a job he knew would be 6 months at best. It's a strange one for me unless he's been able to bank a huge sum of money. Careerwise I think it was a bad decision.

Slaven Bilić appointed already.

Oh well he is well used to getting the boot, probably immune to it now.

11 games in, and its hardly been a disastrous start, they're only 1 point outside the playoffs. Absolutely bizarre, even by Watfords standards. Makes me wonder if something else hasn't gone off behind the scenes.

I bet Forest Green's owners are p*ssing themselves. Still, as with all Watford managers, at least he now got a whopping great pile of cash to cry in to.

Edited for accuracy.

Doubt it .
If he’d stayed at FGR they’d probably be doing a lot better in league one.
It’s been lose lose lose for Watford FGR and Edwards

Five managers within a year I believe insanity.

Overall, you're absolutely right. No-one really wins in this scenario but, given the way he left and excluding the hypothetical "if he stayed" scenarios, I still wouldn't begrudge the owners a wry smile

Name 13 of them (no cheating )

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back there before Christmas.
Although the FGR owner is a bit of a nob, so maybe he wouldn’t forgive

He would have to beg forgiveness for eating that meat pie.

Rob Edwards, Roy Hodgson, Claudio Ranieri, Xisco, Vladimir Ivic, Quique Sanchez Florez, Javi Garcia... now it starts to become difficult. Pretty sure Gianfranco Zola was there for a while... some other Yugoslavian as well. Probably missing out on a bunch of Italians.

I can see why he took the job - more money and a good chance of promotion - but clearly the job has come too early in his career.

You wonder what the rationale is from the Watford boardroom. It might work out quite well for them; Bilic comes into the job after a huge summer clearout (50-odd players transferred, released, loaned out), he knows what he has to work with and has the experience of getting West Brom up from a similar position. Maybe he didn't want to do that summer dirty work; telling a load of young players you don't know they're out can't be a pleasant task.

Indeed, Edwards must be quite angry about this having joined at the start of the summer, probably working non-stop to oversee the ins and outs of playing staff, getting off to a reasonable start but then seeing Emmanuel Dennis sold at the end of the window after already losing Josh King, Andre Gray and Cucho Hernandez.

One wonders how many manager's they're still paying

Amazingly, I don't think the list includes BFS, Pulis, Hughes or Pardew
