Beppe Sannino just resigned as Watford manager with them second in the championship managers don't normally resign in that sort of situation unless they have been promised something better interesting don't you think!



{Ed039's Note - Player power has played its part in this, a lot of the players at the club were not happy with the way he conducted business on the training field)

Ed that's what should happen at west ham saturdays game was like u/9s game worst game l ever seen

Any update on Richards coming? I still can't believe what I saw yesterday the whole team looked like they were playing a friendly rather than a league game. If things don't change I dread to think where we will be at Christmas

Firstly I have to admit I knew nothing about either alex song or the amount (2. 85m) we were prepared to stump up for a loan fee. those fans that think we are after just 1-2 players at a time are living in CLOUD CUCKOO LAND; once a position is verified every suitable player goes under the microscope; whilst song came up we let cleverly go to villa ( as I said) and salihovic looks hull bound; very often terms; location. contract offer not suitable for player. and this is how it seems for Richards; who has been offered a lot better deal than ours (as I said) of course I mention lots of targets but that just some of whom we target; kuzmanovic wants to stay where he is; we could not loan obiang; and at this time are hesitating about wollscheid who looks to go to saints instead; a shame we could do with him ; I watched on live stream yesterday, frankly we could do with another 8 signings, dgs have worked hard trust me to get these players in; but sam apart we looked edgy and nervous;Im not a tactician but this was hopeless; We certainly need another defender. and please don't say we haven't got the dough; original budget of 15.8m now reading about 34m, maybe there will be a shock surprise tomorrow, meanwhile alex song must wonder what he's done? On a completely different note if people want to dispute facts that's their call ; on the other hand if you all don't want me to post facts not fiction then I willmove after tomorrow to another site; where I have in fact been asked to post ; to finalise if diame leaves for hull qpr or similar what will you fans say who told me he will only go to top 6 side; this possible move by the player is crazy as his wage offers are only marginally better than his existing contract IRONMIKE



Ironmike, No one wants you to go to a different site, but obviously if a post is put on here there will always be those who don't agree.
I still disagree with you about Diame, I think £70,000 per week is too strong for Hull etc (and players wish for bigger club) QPR possibly as Harry will pay anything for any old player (just ask Southampton, Portsmouth and the Spuds)
But I might be proved wrong and you right, that's what these forums are for, stating your opinion as being proved right / wrong.



{Ed039's Note - Great post Gerry, that is exactly what we do here, and Ironmike, your posts are very good mate, as Eds we like to see them so keep them coming)

Mark Noble says not to blame BFS!
OK, well who picked the team that includes the useless Cole & Vaz TE?
Who changed the tactics and made them not press on when 1-0 up and Southampton under the cosh?
Who picked the tactics and told them not to pass froward but to pass backwards so the team could resort to hoofball?
Who brought on Morrison instead of Diame and the ineffective Valencia instead of impressive Sakho?

I am sorry Mark but your well wide of the mark, this current squad, playing players that are on form, should be more than capable of beating the likes of Southampton, who let's face it lost their manager and the best of their first team quad over the summer.

Fatty, your time Is up.
International break now, who will be in charge for the game at Hull??
Poyet?
Moyes?
Pullis?
Any of the above will do a better job.!!



Poyet no thanks. Pulis plays worse hoofball than BFS, either Moyes or Bilic for me.

We were dreadful today I don't think big Sam has clue wot he is doing why have we got two strikers that we brought in to score goals on the bench and we start with cole and s***ty vaz te. now that song has signed I don't know where he will fit in because he has to be in the first team but unless we play 4-3-3 I don't see where he will. fingers crossed we can get Richards in or another good defender. all I know is I wish we played away from home every week because upton park isn't the fortress it use to be.



Agree, Cole & Vaz Te we just dreadful.
I think even Jaaskelainen would have been a better bet up front than Cole.
Both CC & Vaz are Championship players at best!
