Premier League: Watford strikes out ahead of Man City clash
If there’s one team that shares no patience and gives no damns, it’s Watford Football Club.
Another untimely dismissal sees the Vicarage Road club part ways with Nigel Pearson and assistant, Craig Shakespeare. The madness behind all of this (yes Watford went on a dip of late) they still sit afloat from the drop zone by three points.
Not as safe as they would love to be but they certainly where they need to be, out of the danger zone. Now they not only must sweat the drop over the next couple of games, which are both against top-six clubs in the league. But they must do it under the new guidance of somebody who has recently been put here by his club before.
The club has put in place Watford Under 23-coach, Hayden Mullins, for a second time this season. His first go at caretaking saw him take over for the departed Quique Sánchez Flores, ahead of Pearson’s hiring.

Gino Pozzo, known for his cutthroat style of ownership never ceases to amaze every season with some new trick up his sleeve to show us he hasn’t surprised us for the last time, and the other time before that.
Bad timing for Watford perhaps?
Definitely! Not saying the club should have kept him at the helm for another season but just ride it out for the final two games. If Pozzo thinks Mullins will do better over the last two outings, he is kidding himself.
The last three meetings between Pep’s side and the Hornets saw them concede 17 goals and only score one. The chances of salvaging a point from this evening’s Premier League clash sounds a far stretch.
What exactly is Watford going to do against a team scoring just over three goals per game? The Hornets have conceded a goal in every game since returning to action. Feel for them, think they were one of those clubs who didn’t benefit from the forced interval in English football.
They end their season against an Arsenal team in form and who is operating smoothly on the pitch. Depending on Villa and if they are able to have a late surge in performances, we could be seeing the last of the Hornets until they are promoted again.
With Nigel Pearson getting the boot, you have to ask is this Gino Pozzo’s way to go out with a bang? They need to stop this changeover of managers so effortlessly and find a permanent brand of football. Will never happen as long as they are swapping hands at the helm so often.

They’ve now been through six different managers since returning to the Premier League, with Sánchez Flores trying his luck twice, but failed miserably with his second effort. All-in-all, the club has been through 18 different managers since the start of the 2000s, with three of them trying on more than one occasion.
