Article on Watford sacking their latest manager is fascinating insight

“Watford’s self-inflicted wounds — Ben Foster’s costly pass and Etienne Capoue’s own goal — intensified the atmosphere on the pitch and in the directors’ box among the hierarchy. Owner Gino Pozzo, sporting director Cristiano Giaretta and chairman Scott Duxbury struggled to mask their discontent at times and then — after Giaretta had returned from a trip to the technical area in the half-time interval to find out from Ivic’s assistants what changes were planned — appeared exasperated that affirmative action to try to change the course of the game didn’t appear to be on the horizon.”

What a crazy way to run a football club. Imagine Stuart Webber asking one of DFs coaches what he was going to do at half time!
