Yes he does. He is still funding the club despite not being a director of the club 250k a season. With cost rising and that taking its toll on all businesses it can't be easy decision On Coley's bar was a way to raise extra income for the club, investment in the local area, employed more staff and growth the local economy. Don't think there is love lost between him and council now. I know some councillors are trying to get the club back onside and used it as the community asset in the area. What a town football club should be

Did I say that? But maybe on some things these paid professional head coaches actually can see that we just watching the game.. Never said Hedges was one of the best players at the club did I!! I said he is good squad player and the 3 head coaches have picked him most of the time he been fit Just excuses to back Your opinion. The last 3 head coaches mostly picked him. Wonder why? They valued him a player and what he brings to the team.

Highlighting the quality of him and also why the last 3 head coaches have picked him regularly. Wonder why? Cos they valued his quality and has the attitude they like. Was has Ismael picked Forshaw over Buckley as bench centre midfielder ? Wonder why?

Angry? 🤣 another utter bizarre comment from RF99. their squad quality is lower middle team and their owners will look to sell their best 2 players

Back to Standards bollocks. Hedges is a good squad player who brings experience but also can different positions. RF99 didn't mention the great weight pass by Hedges for Ohashi's goal at Luton or his run at Sheffield United that help created the goal there. Plus when fit, JDT, Eustace and Ismael have mostly picked him. Wonder why that is? Why does it actually matter that Plymouth release him to come Here, why make such a big deal of it? Was it his fault for all those defeats or you dong mention his goal that help us secure a win against Plymouth, no mention of that either just all the negative points?

Andy Holt has more than that club but it doesn't help things with Council doesn't work with you and use the club who is biggest community asset in the area to grow and invest jobs, etc

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g3gxdpyweo Abit more background on Watford owner and they will sell more key players making sacking Cleverley more bizarre decision

Thanks and much appreciated

Markanday isn't good enough. He ain't good enough

Explained why my opinion changed on Ismael and he proven my opinion was wrong. I can hold my hands when I wrong. You don't asked other members who had similar opinions as me. Why not ask others. You wouldn't tho. I have made my opinion on Watford on Cleverley sacking just like I did with WBA sacking Mowbray far too early in my opinion

You would! We didn't make playoffs cos we didn't pick up enough points. Simple as. We made progress on the pitch this season compare to last. Pass most expectations where they thought we would finish. Pundits all wrong.

Yet again Matty I posted my opinion and my reasons for that opinion in the appropriate thread

I have made this point several times. I think Ohashi season was very good and expect him to kick on again next season

I posted my reasons for that opinion on why we should sack in the Valerien Ismael thread(got 28 likes for that opinion) and he has proved me wrong which I am delighted and 14 points from the last 6 games. start with a clean sheet next season, lets he can start the same way we finish the season

very impressive from him. Good movement, some good goals and more than impact in his first game

nowhere did I say top players like what Leeds or Burnley had this season but 3 or 4 good quality players could be the difference for them. Sacking another head coach there will achieve very little there and I'm sure in 6 months time they be sacking another one yet again going nowhere

I understood the point Ossydave when you said that. Home games aren't a problem as it my main social activity and the thing I enjoyed doing with my brother and nephew. Until the last 3 years I used to attend about 5 or 6 away games each season but with my missus illnesses means I have to missed going to them. Hopefully next season, I can attend a few more away games now she is on the mend and getting better week on week. I went to Derby away this season and enjoyed the day not the result but its felt great to attend an away game again.

I have been very clear on my opinion on renewing Hedges contract and I have clear with yourself, I would renew his contract. Look at the great pass for Ohashi's goal or the part he played for the goal at Sheffield United. I have said he would be squad player next season and having people like Hedges is good for the squad Batth has said he is happy here and wants to stay

Markanday needs to be release and he isn't good enough for us

to @davulsukur point on Watford's quality, well we watched them not long ago at Ewood Park didn't we? If you just look at that squad on paper is mid table at best with little quality and I would say their best player is Giorgi Chakvetadze who didn't play at Ewood Park. Their squad doesn't say playoff candidates at all but lower mid table at best. @roversfan99, looking at that squad, does it really say we should be pushing for playoffs and be higher than 14th in the league. @JHRoverto your point over changing manager and other clubs having success by constant changing head coach ever 6/12 months, I wouldn't agree at all, That lot down the road had Dyche for a number of years and had stability and identity of play. Kompany was there for 2 years and now at Bayern were he just won the league. Southampton having 3 different head coaches over 1 season cost them their PL status in 2023 and then they gave Martin the tools to get promotion but then sack him a few months later cos he wouldn't change his philosophy. Southampton were never going to stay up realistic but coming back down and then backing the PL parachute and then building a squad for promotion next season. Take the pain this season and then come back stronger next season and get promotion again. I think Watford would have benefit more by backing Cleverly and let him bring in 3 or 4 quality players this summer to help them challenge the playoffs next season. Backed him instead of sacking him, you said he is bright young coach back in January so wasn't that the case now. Norwich last week were linked with a move for Cleverly to be their next head coach. Its a simple question and he asked myself a number of questions daily/weekly and I always tried to be answer that. If he wants to keep it private fine just say that but I'm not asking him for Seat number or his full name am I. I wanted to keep my name off this forum but some people have posted and did result in someone hacking my social media including this one cos people posted my full name on hence why we have usernames instead of our proper names.

Want instant success so where the re investment last summer in the squad where key players were sold. Their squad is mid table quality with little quality. 3.5m spend and 30m in sales Far too overreacted there You can't answer whether you are STH this past season or even renew so you are no position to question anyone else!

Didn't he finished second top scorer. Deffo not a passenger for me.

It's yourself making these claims not myself. So you must have seen examples of this He his last performance he scored and show good clever moment to get into that position to score. Back to standards bs again. Why wouldn't renew the contracts of Hedges, Batth and Weimann given their performances this season and squad players with experience.. Does it? You are refreshing the squad not overhauling it. Looking to bring 6/7 good quality and attributes we need

We see. 3 head coaches in 2 years. Maybe stop over reacting and trust the person who keep you up and back him with some signings Cos they constantly sacking their head coaches and it was only 3 and half months their owner publicly back him? What change? They said Cleverley was bright young coach who could the success they want. They spent around 3.5m on transfers with sales of 30m Back to lowering standards bollocks again. Why don't actually back their head coach and give them at least couple of seasons in charge and build a team.
