    Also in the media this morning that Benitez’ release clause is £20m which is nearly double the current world record for a coach. So I think anyone hoping for that can forget it.

    Some bad news from OddsChecker. Setien's odds have drifted this morning, but the silver lining is Alan Pardew has dropped from 33/1 to 10/1. Yippee.

    Alan Pardew?

    33/1 into 8/1 this morning.

    Can't see anything in that myself, would be an awful appointment.

    Desperate times need desperate measures. Not that desperate, though.

    Took West Brom down two years ago, he's not the answer.

    The more I think about it, the more it has to be FBS.

    People who bet on managerial appointments are one thing but people who place bets on Watford managerial appointments must have money to burn....

    Yep, the bookies really haven't got a clue. Money comes in for one of the choices so they shorten the odds. People see the odds and think theirs something in it, which then entices people to back that choice aswell.

    Seen a few posts on Twitter that Big Sam has been seen in St Albans. Could be rubbish, but you'd like to think he'd be at least given an interview.

    At least his appointment would deal with the last of the remaining happy clappers.

    I’m hearing this morning, petrol has gone up 1p at the ESSO garage. Scandalous if true. Can Adam Leventhal confirm?

    So it turns out the bookies absolutely do have a clue. Only it's in how to make loads of money from suckers, rather than who we'll be appointing?

    He's probably betting on himself to raise his profile. However many brainfarts there have been in the last 7 months surely there's no way Scott Gino and Giraldi would go for Pardew!

    Yep. I’ll stand to win a bundle or lose a few quid. Can’t win them all I suppose. Still I’m up this season overall after guessing the correct score in our match at City. That was a very nice little earner.

    The ever knowledgeable Garth Crooks once said we should appointment Pardew, so on that alone, I'm in.

    (In all seriousness, Souness would be better)

    I heard Watford were interviewing candidates at The Grove today. Might be something in it as I drove past earlier and there were police and road closures everywhere. Gino's pulling out all the stops as he's determined SkySports are not going to break the story of our new boss.

    There was a guy on the Warford Observer website a few years ago who kept saying we should appoint Pardew. I had a sneaking suspicion it was Pardew trying to build some support. If we go for an older English manager there'd b no excuse for it not being Allardyce. If the wrong decision is made and we go down, heads should roll.

    I had to take a second look at that - with tattoo's it could be Deeney. Or is that his alter-ego warming up the HT snack?
