[Northstandboy]

Rob Edwards has left L2 champions Forest Green Rovers to join WATFORD!

Will he have time to unpack a suitcase?

Should improve his bank balance and then he can move onto a club where he can operate longer term.

2 year contract, but would imagine if Watford aren't in the top 2 at end of September he'll be out. Is their 18th manager (including caretaker) since Sean Dyche left 10 years ago.

Amazingly they had 4 managers in a 6 week period in 2014.

Being generous there! Gone by the end of September, I reckon.

FGR’s sulky, passive aggressive statement has made me chuckle today.

Not very professional or courteous of the (ex) manager. Can see why they are aggrieved. Watford's owners are a bunch of sharks, not surprised there.

As appointments go in football that has to be one of the most bizarre on many fronts. a Just relegated prem club appoint a just won League 2 Manager.

his Long term prospects are zero, if he gets them up he'll be instantly booted out, if he fails or is average he's gone anyway.

That is a very childish communication from the club. I'm sure they aren't pleased but if OUFC sent out something like that, I'd be embarrassed.

When does the KR to FGR thread start?

I think KR is a bit too keen on his meat and 2 veg for a move there.

Tbh, I think they have a point and the response is reasonable imo. Unprofessional and very poor by Watford which just further reinforces their tinpot reputation.

Kip is already on it. He's just finalising his "source"

Edwards might have moved on before he has time to respond

Poor (rich) guy. Watford are the most pointless club going, let’s hope he gets them finishing seventh

Unprofessional, yes.

It's nice to see a bit of feeling though rather than the usual robotic response.

FGR are obv pi55ed off by this whole situation, and rightly so.

Their response was honest and fair, which makes a refreshing change.

It might be honest, and pretty funny, but it won’t necessarily help them in attracting talent in future.

Im not so sure. Just look at Watford.

Forest Green appoint Notts Co's manager. The comments I've seen from Notts Co fans, it seems they aren't particularly bothered as they consider him underachieving this season and at times his team was a soft touch. That said who knows, it could be the right club at the right time.

And I suppose they have reacted quickly ahead of the new season.

Meh, I was expecting to read that Edwards had been relieved of his duties at Watford.
