Head coaches getting sacked at Watford stopped becoming a surprise a long time ago.

If the team isn't doing well, it's the head coach's fault and he pays the price. End of.

Watford fans didn't particularly like this philosophy but they kind of understood and accepted it. It was the board's way of doing things and it worked to an extent.

The supporters took the teasing from other fans - after all they spent six seasons in the Premier League over a seven-year period.
