Wilder wouldn’t be an option anyway as the Pozzo family have their own clique.

I don't think he would have been anyway, but you can guarantee somebody would have made up another rumour about him going there.

Must be the best job going for a football manager Watford. Don't bother moving house or sending your kids to new schools. Just book a room in the Travelodge, toss the job off for three or four months, pick up a couple of million in compo.

Wow, it’s shouldn’t be a surprise but the rate they go through managers is incredible.

Just seen this stat on twitter…
Only six of the current 24 Championship bosses were in the same job a year ago.

Wilder's application will be on file from when they last changed manager a few weeks ago.

Edwards 'must be given time'
So with a little less than a quarter of the season gone, what’s the verdict so far?

This was always going to happen if they didn’t have a 100% record after the first set of fixtures.
Probably get promoted again though.

absolutely. 1 of their last 15 managers has lasted 50 league games. ONE! That was only 66 matches. This will be 14 permanent managers in 8 years if true.
