    Gifton Noel Williams. Adores the club and has amazing dress sense and you gotta love his hair.

    I know odds are just a load of nonsense, but Daniel Farke? What world are they living in.

    Never mind Farke, the whole list is a joke. Not one of them would consider working for pozbury.

    Pellegrini actually makes a worrying amount of sense (not as an appointment in any way, but as a Gino choice). That being said, he doesn't fit the 'lurch wildly from one type to the exact opposite' brief, so he's probably out.

    To be honest I didn’t even spot Parker before I’d spat my drink out over Farke.

    Gino should just go full Michael Knighton and appoint himself. Wonder how many games he'd last before he then had to sack himself? At least the compensation would stay in the family.

    It’s on their website - but they are claiming it’s linked from Betfair.

    Will not be popular but could be the man to grind out enough 1-0 wins to keep us up
    given the fact that we are not 15 points adrift at this moment in time .

    LOL Rafa. One of the highest paid coaches in the world.

    Would be hilarious if he came in, kept us up and sent Saudi FC down.

    Isn’t Rafa just another Ranieri anyway though? There is a mounting body of work that suggests his best days are a long way behind him.

    I’d like Scott Parker as he wears amazing coats. The one he wore last week I haven’t been able to find.

    If we are sacking Claudio then Big Fat Sam for me. Won't be pretty, but with a target man bought in and pace we have he maybe able to get a few results. Player manager contract and get him to fill the goal. Defence sorted. We stay up. Simple

    Gino Pozzo.

    Then he can sack himself after a few games.

    I was thinking of a scarlet dress and a fox head, actually.
    Are we looking for someone? Are we longing for absent friends? Should we take the knife to the club before we suffer eternal stagnation? Or is this a trespass upon Gino's vision of angels?

    I know there's no / little hope of this happening but I would like John Eustace to be the new head coach. He knows Watford and what we stand for; he's a leader who would be respected by players and fans; he's a realistic target being an assistant at QPR at the moment; he would have as good a chance as anyone at keeping us up (= slim) but he knows the Championship inside out and would be able to start building the right platform to launch a promotion bid next season.

    Guaranteed that more people turn against Poxbury after they sack him too.

    John Eustace was a great player for us.

    As we saw with munoz he played to our strengths and changed the formation and it worked ,what's to say ranieri can't do the same by playing a different formation so we don't have passengers we have players putting in a shift each game

    He would EARN their respect, probably within half an hour of the first training session.
