Of all the sackings this season, this one is really, really poor. Looks like they've taken aim at Everton, who made overtures regarding Silva possibly switching clubs after Ronald Koeman was sacked from his post at Goodison Park.
Didn't see this coming to be honest, they were on a run of poor form recently but they're still 10th in the league. Don't know what the aspirations of the club were after finishing 17th last campaign - Could be a damaging move that may potentially suck them into a relegation scrap as only 5 points separates 10th placed Watford & 18th placed Southampton.
The numpty's on the TV had the headline scrolling along the bottom of the screen saying "Watford manager sacked after losing a record 11-1" which made me recheck Saturdays results.
