kamikaze pilot got better job prospects than a watford manager
Manager of the month is a fact not an award in Watford
Surely Ranieri has more sense than work for these guys .Risks tarnishing his reputation ,and they are impossible to please .

So long as you get a 3 year deal so you get the pay off when they sack you, it's not a bad option for older managers...
Be his 23rd job so not exactly accustomed to longevity
Watford have sacked manager Claudio Ranieri after 14 games and less than four months in charge.
The Italian, 70, was appointed on 4 October but managed only seven points from 13 Premier League games.
Last Friday's 3-0 home defeat to Norwich saw Watford drop into the bottom three and prompted the club's owners to take action.
It means Watford are looking for their 15th manager since the Pozzo family took over in 2012.

No way to run a football club ,how are the players supposed to react to a new managers ways aand methods ,when they are probably thinking ,"how long is this guy going to last ,whats the point in listening to him ?"NEXT PLEASE !!
Agreed, snowymoon.
Can't be short of money surely, mac.

I wasn't surprised he took it. Looking at his record I doubt he's ever turned a job down! He took the Fulham job in exactly the same circumstances with the same outcome.
Rancid outfit. The sooner they go down the better. Apologies to all hornets but these owners take the biscuit.
It works pretty well for them though.
All these managers we are meant to feel sorry for ,they were not sorry enough for the previous guy to turn it down themselves.

Has worked well so far tobes. Fingers crossed this is the year.
Whoever they get as their next manager must be installed to be the next manager sacked as well
jeezus Roy you had the send off,the gold watch....not more
Fair play to Watford and not discriminating against Roy Hodgson because he used to manage Palace.
Oh blimey I honestly thought that when Hodgson left Palace that would be him heading off to a peaceful retirement. What on Earth is he supposed to do at Watford exactly? No matter who got the job Hodgson isn't the answer surely.
That's an absolutely bonkers appointment !

Doesn't seem too bad an appointment to me. Right type of manager for their squad and where they are. It's not as if they are miles off safety. He is supposed to keep them up.
What a bonus for Roy though. A nice little earner in a job which nobody expects him to succeed in and a wee pay off at the end of it to augment his pension.
Roy Hodgson is the sixth man to manage Watford
since they kept a Premier League clean sheet.

I agree with Slippy - you couldnt make this up. He must have been some price to get this gig.
Unbelievable wow!!!
