New Watford manager Rob Edwards is determined to end the club's hire-and-fire policy and put down proper roots.
Recent years have seen the Vicarage Road dugout more akin to a conveyor belt, with bosses barely getting their feet under the table before being shipped out and replaced. Edwards becomes the eighth different man at the helm since the beginning of 2018.
The exhaustive list of recent managers reads Javi Gracia, Quique Sanchez Flores, Nigel Pearson, Vladimir Ivic, Xisco Munoz, Claudio Ranieri and Roy Hodgson. But the appointment of Edwards, just after he guided Forest Green Rovers to the League Two title, hints at a possible change of approach from Watford's owners, the Pozzo family.
