Relegation Watch

[wince]

Hoping that Man City hump Watford and if we do lose, it is only by the odd goal.

At least meaning we have a chance of staying up on the last week.

Don’t we need more than 4 points though?

[Toronto Villa]

There’s a rumour that Watford may be about to can Pearson.

[DB]

I have read he has gone. WTF!

[Toronto Villa]

Percy confirming it

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It's true. John Percy confirmed.

Nigel Pearson and Craig Shakespeare have been sacked by Watford. Given the news by technical director Filippo Giraldi earlier today. Pearson has never been relegated, and would probably have maintained that record. Very odd

[PaulWinch again]

Hope it backfires on them.

[DB]

I can't see how it would benefit them unless there has been some serious player unrest.

[Nii Lamptey]

Is there time to get him in at Bodymoor Heath?

[Toronto Villa]

It’s madness. They are still very much in the drivers seat. I imagine they would have lost anyway to Man City but they had FA Cup finalists Arsenal on the last day. A great chance to win and stay up.

[Nii Lamptey]

Ings scores!

[PaulWinch again]

Good lad. Keep it up Saints.

[DB]

Pearson is a bit of a cockwomble. May have been a falling out between him and the board.

[Flamingo Lane]

Sounds like Deeney might be in charge for the last 2 games, if Pearson had become so unpopular with the players this could give them a boost.  I could see and still can see Watford beating Man City, who look really flaky.

Nothing about Pearson on the BBC website, mind.

[PeterWithesShin]

Considering they didn't win a league game until November and yet are in the driver's seat to stay up, that is nearly as insane as Pearson is.

His record with Watford is quite good for a side taken over when they were bottom.  Won 7 and lost 9.  He is a strange fish is Pearson but that is a bit of a shock.  Watford panicking perhaps.
