If you have to sack your manager more than once in a season, you've got real problems at your club. Three times is a total disaster.
No one in the Watford hotseat should ever get too comfy - just ask Javi Gracia, Quique Sanchez Flores and Nigel Pearson. The club have lofty ambitions and certainly know how to survive after five seasons in the Premier League.
But when it comes to their managers, there seems to be a disconnect. Pearson was relieved of his duties on Sunday with just two tough games remaining and the club's Premier League status in grave danger.
