There is nothing my beloved football club loves more than getting the band back together.
And while Watford supporters are more than used to the managerial merry-go-round, there was finally a sense of optimism with the return of our most successful manager of recent times.
For fans too young to have experienced the joys of the 1980s, Javi Gracia's first spell at Vicarage Road was as good as it gets, as the Spaniard was at the helm for one of the greatest ever Watford moments – the famous FA Cup semi-final comeback against Wolves.
An 11th-place finish in the Premier League, an FA Cup final – the less said about the result of that, the better – but an all-round positive feel at the club.
