He's got nothing to lose because even if he gets sacked, it'll be viewed sympathetically by the rest of football. exactly this. most of the comments are saying can he make the step up from league 2… which means he would have had a very long journey to make it to a club in the prem. If he succeeds he’s a prem manager in a year. If he starts to fail he will be sacked before he is even close to tarnishing his reputation and probably end up with a lower championship team hiring him after. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetstonefox Posted 11 May 2022 Share Posted 11 May 2022 It looks a poor show from Watford as I can’t imagine FGR would have stopped him going to them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pathetic from them. He’s out of contract in a couple of weeks If they’d wanted to tie him down then why didn’t they? All he’s done is secure another job for when his contract with FGR ends.

I didn’t realise his contract was up, assumed he’d have 1 or 2 years left , if that’s the case hard to have too much sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on mate, you know exactly what he means. Everton fans have flicked the switch now it has become clear that they are under serious threat of being relegated and are doing everything within their power to make sure that it doesn't happen. The same thing happened with Newcastle during our Great Escape season. They were protesting every week until the last two weeks of the season when they realised they could actually go down and then all of a sudden the stadium was full and rocking again. If we were in Everton's position, we would probably go through the same mentality shift. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 11 May 2022 Share Posted 11 May 2022 FGR’s manager is completely right to move. Even if they sack him, his next job will be at a club like Preston, Birmingham City or Cardiff. If he stayed there he’d years off a job like that anyway and he’s got a life changing pay out too. He might even be successful too given he looks a decent coach. They’ve got a reasonable squad plus 40m+ from the sales of Sarr and Dennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 11 May 2022 Share Posted 11 May 2022 Rob Edwards mist have confidence in his own ability. I was trying to think of why a manager would go to Watford. After Ranieri and Hodgson, Harry Redknapp was probably waiting for a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you there in the great escape season. Some of the atmosphere was immense. When your backs up against the wall you show up for your team. For apparently such a massive club like Everton who have done feck all since the days of Andy Gray and are on the brink of relegation and endless seasons of failure and managers this is least I'd expect. Fed up of hearing how amazing their fans are. They're just scummy scousers getting p1ssed off with their next door neighbours winning and they are sh1te 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t have any issue in him moving - Dale Vince made it clear he was aware other clubs would come looking. It’s the fact Watford told him to keep the negotiations secret and he went along with it that they are annoyed about, especially as there were rumours leading up to today which gave Rob opportunity to be upfront about it. Seems a mad decision to me. He got promoted a well established side which really should have made it to league one the past two seasons, and when he lost key players wasn’t able to manage the squad meaning their form massively dropped off.
