Edward Still

They're currently on their fourth manager, permanent manager since the beginning of last season.

Pozzalano, Gracia, Ed Still, and now Alessio Dionisi who-

You deserve a medal for being able to name the four never mind anything else.

[laughs] Don't ask me to name the 17.

Just the signs of what we've seen today and in the last 24, 48 hours with the things that the hierarchy have been saying versus what Dionisi's been saying and what we saw on the pitch.

have just been completely contrasting and we've seen these cracks before happen I think Chris Wilder called out the culture Javi Garcia called it out last season even Ed Still a little bit Petzolano it was about this time last year wasn't it as well where he said that Watford are I can't remember the exact words that he used but said what we're not a serious club or something like that yeah And while it hasn't been as explicit as that, those quotes that you mentioned from Dionisi about the squad, the selection today, questioning the players' attitudes and that performance, I think we've seen this so many times before where I cannot see a world where he's in charge on Tuesday night.

And that's not Alessio Dionisi's fault.

I think he got today wrong, completely wrong.

I feel really sorry for D&EC.

I think more so than a lot of the other managers we've had recently who have struggled for their own various reasons, have self-destructed for their own various reasons, whether that's Pat Solano, who we never got to see the best of, whether it was Javi, who... decided that, do you know what, this isn't for me, I don't need this anymore.

Or Ed Still, who was just completely thrown in at the deep end.

That's just the last three managers.

And then I think the end of last season was obviously so bad.

And watching Ed Still try and sort of stoically navigate that period, as I wrote, I felt very sorry for him.

But that was an amazing few weeks when the whole operation felt like it was falling apart, really.

And this guy was just having to front up every time.
