Would any of the Iron / Watford fans like to comment on the situation with regards to management changes at your club? Is it a case of me sitting by the phone awaiting my turn ?

Unfortunately Ironmansimon it seems an Italian owner trait as we are finding out to our cost at the Orient, much the same as Leeds and Watford fans have done recently. We as fans have not really got an earthly what is going on other than we have lost the best manager (Russell Slade) that we had in 45 years because his relationship with the new billionaire Italian owner broke down after about 5 minutes.
Everyone thought that the money the new owner was bringing we would guarantee almost instant success, but unfortunately they have not got a clue how running a football club actually works and it's mayhem to be honest.
Just shows you have to be careful what you wish for. The McKinlay situation at Watford is really odd.

Ironmansimon get to the back of the management queue, This all started with player power forcing Sanninio ( the first manager) out. Two players in particular were to blame as they were not being picked, If you go on youtube and watch Rotherham v Watford this season you will see one of them reacting after scoring when coming on as a sub and let out a torrent of abuse at the then manager. Oscar Garcia was then brought in but due to heart and health issues he could not continue, Then comes McKinlay, who to my knowledge was made up to head coach but without a full time contract,plus he was oringinally brought in by Garcia as a coach. As we had a game that night at home to Brentford a decision had to be made.The overall thoughts are Watford have one of the best squads in that division but time and again it seems no manager can organise a strong defence and too many wins are thrown away. For example today 24 hours in the job. the new manager signs an experienced centre half. The owners have rebuilt the old east stand, something no owner has done, cleared all club debts and now want to see a return for all there effort. Hope that clears that up.
