'Pozzo was the solution... now he's the problem'

We asked for your thoughts after Watford head coach Ed Still was sacked less than three months since taking over from Javi Gracia at Vicarage Road.

The 35-year-old was the Hornets' 23rd different boss - both permanent and interim - in 14 years under the ownership of the Pozzo family, and won just three of his 15 league games in charge as Watford finished 16th in the Championship.

Here are a selection of your responses.

Steve: Yes Ed should have been sacked, obviously the players are lacking motivation and leadership. However, who wants the poisoned chalice of a three to six-month contract at WFC before the Pozzos give them the chop?

Martin A: Unless there is a major change in strategy or ownership, nothing will change. Ten years ago, Pozzo was the solution and we thank him for that, but now has become the problem. Does not matter which players he brings in, the new manager will not have respect of the players as they know he will soon be gone.

Ian: The Pozzos have been positive for the club in the past, but seem to have lost interest and happy to allow the club to slide, which could be disastrous for a club I've been watching for nearly 60 years. I worry we will follow Leicester into League One, and maybe worse.

Richard: As usual, Watford in complete disarray. Watford should have kept faith with Tom Cleverley, look what he is doing at Plymouth. I have supported Watford for over 60 years and was privileged enough to be around when Graham Taylor was manager. I really am totally disgusted by what my team has become under the Pozzo family. Whenever we get a new signing, they mostly come from Udinese. Watford must soon realise that things won't get better under this regime.
