Nigel Pearson believes Watford’s lack of continuity and consistent in the dugout may have delivered some success under the Pozzo family but has had a detrimental impact on the playing squad.
Bristol City boss Pearson returns to Vicarage Road on Saturday for the time since managing the Hornets during the 2019/20 Covid-impacted campaign in which he was sacked two games before the conclusion of that season.
The 59-year-old took over with Watford seven points from safety and guided them out of the drop zone, with a three-point margin, but was abruptly dismissed only for them to lose their remaining two matches and return to the Championship.
