Would he be an interesting choice for our next manager?

Next time someone thinks we’re the worst run club in the EFL under Tan, I’d like to gently remind you Watford exist.
Did a great job at forest green and we won't have to pay compo
Fair play to Watford. They do churn their managers. They make us look like amateurs!Quote:

I think Watford have taken their manager churn to another level but I do like that they don't get all teary-eyed about it.
Their fans are probably weary of it.Quote:

I agree. Everyone's weary of it but they'll find another one. There are plenty of managers out there willing to prostitute themselves at Watford. It's the same for us when people say 'nobody'll want to come here'. Yeah they will.Quote:

Thiago Motta played a 2-7-2 didn’t he? And curiously counts the keeper in the 7. Let’s give it a goQuote:

No idea how true that all is, but some fans aren't unhappy to see him go.
He did a bit of a shitty thing to them though so I wouldn't want him here based on that.Quote:

I know very little about him, did FGR play a bit whilst he was there?
I still think there are better options out there with Championship experience, Dyche would be brilliant but highly unlikely, Nathan Jones or Corberan? ideal
if Hudson beats Burnley he's got a two year contract guaranteed with this bunch of clownsQuote:
