    Hopefully its just done the opposite!!

    Bowyer could not be clearer on where he stands and as usual he is up straight and fair to us supporters. If our ‘owners’ have leaked this in the hope of generating £750k to cover 6 weeks running costs, they can properly fook right off, but have no grounds to believe this is the case and suspect it is lazy/opportunistic journalism.
    Was it by Alan Nixon ? Or just another lazy journo making stuff up

    Craig Shakespeare was apparently asked to take over for the 2 games, but he said no and he has been sacked as well, from what I have heard

    Just a thought but I wonder if Pearson has a bonus in his contract for keeping them up and Watford are trying to get away with not having to pay it.

    Read in the Mail today that he wouldn't be their manager next season whether he kept them up or not.

    Pretty sure Pearson was only contracted until the end of the season anyway! Very odd timing

    Including his time as caretaker manager, Bowyer is now the 20th longest serving manager  :D

    That shows the madness of modern football

    Southampton score and BT Commentator says "that will cheer Nigel Pearson up as he is eating his sunday lunch"

    A few minutes later, "we are hearing Nigel Pearson has been sacked by Watford so he wont be enjoying his Sunday lunch after all"
    His contract was only to the end of this season.

    Still strange given that there are just two games left. Pearson came in with Watford in a position where they had secured just 8 points from 15 games. Under Pearson they've taken 25 from 20 games.

    The injury to Deulofeu was a real body blow and following that Watford have picked up just 7 points from 8 matches.

    Harsh nevertheless and a big gamble by the owners.

    Rumours circulating on Watford message board that Pearson punched defender Adam Masina after the West Ham game on Friday.

    http://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/nigel-pearson-sacked.57246/page-10

    It seems that Craig Shakespeare, Pearson's assistant was asked to take over and declined. Regardless of the accuracy of the Masina rumour, it does all point to some sort of "incident", rather than a tactical decision.
