You wonder what the rationale is from the Watford boardroom.
What the hell is yours for believing they have one?
They've not won any of their last three games. It is all they need to sack someone.

Name 13 of them (no cheating )
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.
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.
Amazingly, I don't think the list includes BFS, Pulis, Hughes or Pardew
Oscar Garcia? Marco Silva. Walter Mazzari
Give it time, they will soon run out of other managers who will take the poisoned chalice.

Watford now looking for their 17th permanent manager since July 2012, which is only one fewer than West Ham have had in their entire history
Same number of you only count Moyes once.

Not so - because if you do that, then you can only count Quique Sanchez Flores once, as well.
I remembered another one, too - Javi Gracia.
Five managers within a year I believe insanity.
Be gone by Christmas
Potter or Southgate ?
