New ex-players (and managers) thread

[Volpone]

Very surprised that Middlesbrough didn't take him on instead of Woodgate. Now they are looking to ditch Woodgate. Nigel would be ideal.

if he can persuade Cambiasso out of retirement - they might escape relegation

Not sure anyone can save them now, but he'd be a good bet to get them straight back up

It would have been a perfect move for him and the club. Like you I was very surprised they opted for the inexperienced Woodgate.

 

[Miles Away]

If he goes there I’ll be very much invested in Watford staying up.

I wouldn’t let Nige stay in my house, but he could stay in the shed as long as he wanted.

He was superb for us.

I can't really think of a manager and club that are less suited to each other.

Oi, Lako is the B&B round here! As Matty James sleeps on his treatment table maybe NP could use his bed.

Two birds with one stone, like.

Miles Away are offering an alternative over there. Not in competition with Lako.

Bloody foreigners! Coming over here, taking our ex-players (and managers).

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

I'd be quite surprised by that. However he could get the old team back together, both Shakespeare and Walsh aren't in work at the moment.

I reckon this is exactly what's going to happen.
Good club, and would be a great setup if they work as a team and save them. Still plenty of time.

NP vs. Duelofeu. Could be a classic.

Utterly insane appointment by Watford.

We all know what a cool head he is under pressure.

Great appointment. Wasn’t expecting it from them, they must have decided getting unknowns in from around Europe wasn’t working any more.

They’ll stay up now.

 

[homer]

This is truly hilarious

And champions the season after .... but which division?

NP vs. Duelofeu...

I love watching Deulofeu lose his rag, one of the funniest sights in football.

 

[Funky Fox]

Nigel will be ringing Anthony Knockeart for advice on how to deal with Duelofeu

 

[Feriol]

Strange appointment, given time Nigel could probably stabilise the club, but that's the one thing he won't be given there.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Shakespeare is there as his assistant.
