It’s the Republic of Ireland, don’t worry @Lincsaddick I had to correct a certain Ian Baraclough (Non Iron Manager) recently at Wigan away and he’d managed Sligo Rovers in the past.Lincsaddick said:

Wasn't he technical manager or DoF before he became manager?Dansk_Red said:Mark Bowen going back to Reading as DOF. 2Years after he was sacked as manager.
How long before he sacks Ince and puts himself in charge?

No thank you.1

Ince only signed a short term contract until end of season I believe.

Watford's recent managerial decisions have been a nonsense. Just within the last 12 monthsChris_from_Sidcup said:Rob Edwards has left Forest Green just a few days after winning the league 2 title.
He's expected to be announced as the new Watford manager soon.
A young manager Xisco gets them promoted to the PL, and is then sacked when they are in 15th
They then bring in a veteran in Ranieri, then replaced him after a few months by an even older stager in Hodgson
Now they're going back to a younger manager, who did well in L20 -
Suprised at that but do like FGR statement:Chris_from_Sidcup said:Rob Edwards has left Forest Green just a few days after winning the league 2 title.

"FGR confirms the departure of Head Coach Rob Edwards. Rob was a key part of the team that gained promotion to League One this season. We’re disappointed that our support, loyalty and honesty towards Rob has been repaid in this way - with negotiations taking place behind our backs.We had no contact from Watford, from whom we might expect less, but in any event this kind of behaviour gives football a bad name.
We thank Rob for all his work at FGR - forgive him the manner of his departure and wish him well."

We can all understand why any civilised person would want to leave the Toolbox, especially a former Charlton captain, but are QPR that attractive as an alternative?

"Just tucking into a lovely steak. Hmm looking forward to jerk chicken, liver casserole, roast pork, lamb shank, confit de canard, foie gras and steak and kidney pie, yummy. No more tofu ever again."16 -
Rowett has done an excellent job there. Maybe he thinks that with Jed Wallace likely to leave, he's unlikely to repeat this year's strong performance?SouthLondonisRed said:

Yep. A lot of our fans think he’s too negative and the footballs too dull.SouthLondonisRed said:

I wonder what Watford fans think of that ! I can't say I'd be too chuffed if I was in their shoes. Would be like us choosing a manager who's just taken a side up from The National League or worse as Watford should be looking at getting promoted again asap & would be looking at attracting talent good enough to do that. Not too many aspiring PL players would be inspired by Rob Edwards.0

He might consider it more "attractive" in ways not directly linked to football alone of course - I'm sure those fans not particularly happy with the brand of football being displayed last season have their own very unique way of expressing their dissatisfaction. Oh and I think that losing Jed Wallace might also sway any decision to leave.Henry Irving said:

Looking on twitter most of their fans replying to the official announcement seem really positive about it. Think they're excited to have a young up and coming manager as opposed to a foreign nobody.golfaddick said:I wonder what Watford fans think of that !

Most are just hoping he gets some time to actually build something and not be sacked if they go 3-4 games without a win.4 -

Seemed to spend the whole game making throat slitting gestures, readjusting their flat caps and making sure their stone island badge is visible on the police cameras2 -
Last third of the season we were, in the main, brilliant. Prior to that it was a bore. It’s like Rowett plays ultra cautiously until we’re mathematically safe from relegation and then let’s the shackles off. If we’d played like that from the start of the season we would have comfortably made the play offs.Chippycafc said:

The good old days, watching Charlton one week and then Millwall the following week. Beers, pie & mash and plenty of laughs with all your family and mates no matter who they supported.Chippycafc said:

My old man is Millwall but used to watch both. My grandad on my mums side was Millwall as that was his local club but would go and watch football anywhere in London. They didn’t care for the tribalism, they just loved watching football. I didn’t follow in their footsteps. I loved the tribalism loleaststandmike said:
