    They could just recognise that players are to blame as well as Ranieri.
    Gino owns the club. The players don't like any comments from him, then they can always find another club.
    We can all see that something is rotten within the team/club. He should find out what is the issue. Why are Watford FC so toxic?
    Pozzo needs to find a way forward. The players are just not good enough for the Premier league, so he needs to decide what he wants from Watford FC.
    What model of a club does he want us to be?
    The club had no soul at the moment. The fans support the team due to its history. They do not support the Watford FC of 2022.
    Duxbury has alienated the fans. I have been told that stewards were instructed to try and stop the fans from booing and chanting against the team on Friday evening.
    Time for Gino to stop, step back and see what club are we and what does he want?

    Weren't you supporting getting rid of Xisco at the time? Someone posted your quotes but you ignored it.

    Staggering to see that Xisco fans still exist.

    Should give him and shearer the job. Get them off the tele and then sack their sorry ar5es after 5 games.

    Munoz was completely out of his depth, Ranieri actually improved us at our peak compared to Munoz but he wasn’t good enough either.

    Why does everything have to be so binary on here? Munoz was clearly out of his depth and should never have been kept on in the PL, Ranieri was also the wrong appointment.

    It’s not one or the other, both were wrong.

    Do I need to resurface the idea of AFC Watford United, I floated in about 2007?

    Probably has his next one already lined up when we sack Don Cowie*

    *Probably as random as the next one we appoint.

    It’s a shame to see one of the best posters on here described like that. Takes one to know one I guess

    Used to be one of the best posters maybe. Now he occasionally pops up to go on bizarre rants and ends up looking like a berk.

    I wouldn't go that far, but so far he's not exactly pulling up trees at Huesca - seems QSF-like, with a lot of draws and not many goals, probably the kind of record we'd get if Deeney hadn't got injured - I wonder how much time they're prepared to give him given they're supposing to be pushing for promotion.

    https://uk.soccerway.com/teams/spain/sd-huesca/3003/ (His first game was the home game against Amorebieta in late October)

    We drew a blank in four of his seven games. At least Ranieri got us scoring regularly. We never actually looked good in the slightest at any stage under Munoz, apart from half of that first game of the season. At least against Man Utd, Everton and even City and Chelsea we saw a half decent team that looked like they knew what they were doing.

    He shouldn’t have been kept on and he should’ve been sacked, Ranieri just wasn’t the right person to replace him.

    I’m not quite sure how I’ve gone on a bizarre rant or come across as a berk simply for saying that Ranieri was an unmitigated disaster or that Xisco had a decent record and seemed to lift the spirit around the club?

    In terms of popping up occasionally, I think my post on Friday night after the Norwich game was my first for several weeks, and the Good Riddance one tonight was the first day I’ve posted here since then.

    Unfashionable that my opinion might be here, I feel I’m justified in being pleased to see the back of a manager who won only 7 points in 42. I see no harm either in defending the previous incumbent, who got us promoted, took us to 14th and never conceded three goals in any match under his tenure.

    In my definition, a rant is when a person shouts or screams nonsense, not backed up with reason or stats. I don’t think my posts this past week fall into that category. I accept though that they’re unfashionable opinions, and as with life in general expressing such views can result in a person being criticised, attacked or insulted. It’s not a problem.

    I came to express my opinion on today’s news, not to get into a verbal fight or have my sanity called into question, so I shall withdraw gracefully again.

    Take care everybody.

    So you don’t like their posts. Do you need to call them an idiot? It’s a shame they don’t post so often on here.

    I agree with that basically, I'm talking about his managerial career as a whole rather than a few games in a division he was clearly not ready for, not counting the handful of games he had before he joined us.

    Everyone agrees Ranieri should have been sacked, but nobody agrees Munoz should’ve been kept on. It’s not either or, it’s neither.

    So we never let in more than two goals under Munoz, but we still never kept a clean sheet and we didn’t score in four out of seven games, plus we never scored four and five goals under Munoz in a game, so does that make Ranieri better? Or in fact is just not a binary choice between the two?

    I absolutely don’t think he’s the one who ended up looking like a “berk” in that exchange.

    Please don’t - the forum is a better place for having posters like you, who can debate a subject without resorting to pathetic name calling which has more place on a school playground than a discussion forum allegedly for adults.

    He doesn't like Ranieri, did he need to call him an idiot?

    Man calls Ranieri an idiot, gets called an idiot in return. Why is there so much outrage over one word? It's completely harmless.

    Lampard or Rafa would be a terrible choice.

    Malt has been a member of this forum for a long time and has always been pleasant and respectful to other posters, regardless of whether they hold the same views as him.

    Yet he comes steaming into this one calling a 70 year old bloke an idiot? Yeah he sounds really pleasant and respectful.

    You'll be pleased to know I've blocked him and will no longer have any interaction with him so you can stand down.

    It would have been preferable for CR to have been a success and so this not turning out how it has.

    However, he's not even lasted 2 months since this was posted by @wfcmoog :

    So, still stand by that comment?

    His post was liked by 12 other posters, including a few regular bedwetters.

    It is strange the very rare things which some BWs choose to be very positive about.
