The conveyor belt under the managerial hotseat at Vicarage Road is shifting into gear again. Claudio Ranieri’s brief stint was desperately poor, even by the low standards set by some of his Watford predecessors.
The Italian was the 14th new hire – the 13th individual when you consider Quique Sanchez Flores has been given two cracks at the whip – and by some way one of the most underwhelming. It’s not news to fans though. They have become used to ill-conceived hires under the Pozzo family.
What is encouraging to supporters, however, is the next face set to grace the Vicarage Road dugout.
