Sacking Rob Edwards wasn’t the real issue. Creating an environment and culture in which it was impossible for him (and those that came before and after him) to succeed, was. #WatfordFC We’ll never know what will have happened if Rob had stayed on, but he’d have faced the same enormous issues that Bilic and Wilder (and Hodgson, and Ranieri etc) faced. A disparate, disinterested squad and a tumultuous working environment. #WatfordFC

Against the backdrop of transfer uncertainty, I think #watfordfc and Rob Edwards have had an admirable start. A big step up for Rob, with the challenge made harder by not knowing how the squad will look come September. Tricky times. The better team at St Andrew’s but a point a decent result after going behind. Clicking up front a big issue, haven’t created a huge amount so far, with creativity from MF a problem that needs to be solved. #watfordfc
