Have Watford got a door fitter they could lend to us?

[Masbroughstreet]

Valerien Ismael has had a pretty good run by Watford standards.

Indeed

But what’s the true position?

IMHO Watford have, like us, got a squad full of poseurs that just turn up when it suits them

The last few managers might have suffered from a lack parachute payments.
When they haven’t got x 10 the budget of most of the others they are found wanting and their deficiencies are exposed for all to see

I’m sure the owners and their fans have a sense of entitlement which is understandable as they’ve had a lot of success in the recent past
