Is He A Scummer Now?
Pretend it's 30th July 2022, the eve of the 2022/23 season. The bleach is dry on the toilet where the remains of the previous season were dumped. We have a nice new, young and progressive manager who is going to be backed come "hell or high water" by the board. There's a lot to look forward to for sure. 
Wherever you are at this time, I fly into view in a DeLorean time machine, and as the gullwing opens I say "by the third week of November Rob Edwards will be managing Luton Town' and then I vanish as quick as I appear. The news I imported upon you would be more shocking than the fact I have a time machine.
Tumblr media
Yet, here we are living with this exact reality (not the time machine, the other bit). Our beloved Rob Edwards is now a 'scummer'. Or is he?
There was an enormous fanfare surrounding Edwards appointment, mainly it has to be said from Watford's official communication channels. In a previous piece I mentioned how it felt like too much at the time. "This had better work", we all thought, and until 26th September it seemed to. Then, from out of nowhere the 'Pozzo Push-out-a-tron 5000' fired up and he disappeared faster than a tube of Pringles at a Weight Watchers meeting.
  This caused, understandably, a rather negative reaction from the fans. "But" they cried "you promised to back him come hell or high water!" and before they could open their social media accounts to relay this dismay another announcement was made about his successor. All very unromantic and colder than pecker of a penguin.
Tumblr media
The reason we felt Rob's sacking was harsh at the time was that he'd only been given 11 matches. The results were a bit 'meh' but when you buy into a new philosophy you realise these things take time. We'd probably even give him a couple of seasons or so under that premise, wouldn’t we?
A few months and a few decent results later, we find ourselves at the World Cup break fourth in the Championship. Slaven Bilic has now managed more league games than Rob and has to be fair to the guy caused an uptick in our fortunes.
Rob, bless him, ultimately, sits along side a bunch of managers that didn't cut it at Watford. He's milling about with the likes of the second coming of Quique Sanchez Flores and Claudio Ranieri. That sounds harsh but it's reality. He isn't likely to ever have a statue placed outside our ground, no roads will be named after him, he'll never be freeman of Watford Borough.
  Why then do some fans see his next employment as some kind of betrayal? Watford weren't loyal to him, why should he show loyalty to Watford? In fact he probably has every right to stick two very large fingers up at us. Further he is only 39 and the start of his managerial career. He could have decades left as a head coach, and only 11 weeks of that will he be remembered as being at Watford.
  Yes, at first the news was a bit "erm...hang on what?" but personally I hold no grudges towards a young and likeable manager wanting to progress his career further. Obviously if he pulls off a tactical masterstroke on April 1st I will be extremely pissed off and ignoring every piece of post-match media to the fullest extent. But some of the comments I'm seeing on various social media channels are way over the top. He hasn't left us to join them. He's been sacked by us and needs a job. Fair play I say. You need some balls to take over the local rivals to the team you were just in charge of, and, dare I say it, as much as we can't stand the guy, Nathan Jones is going to be a tough act to follow at Kenilworth Road.
  So is he a scummer? Only if they beat us on April Fool's Day and finish above us in the table come the end of the season.

Don't do it Leeds!
@lufc appoint this man as their manager, but I can't help but think they're doing a bit of a @watfordfc
As per many media sources, Leeds United have ended their search for a new manager, as they have appointed former Watford manager Javier Gracia, subject to a work permit. The Spaniard, 52 took The Hornets to an FA Cup final in 2019 but also oversaw an 8-0 drubbing by Manchester City. Gracia after his Watford dismissal had a spell as manager of Valencia, but they have a board who are arguably more…
