Chris Wilder has fired a parting shot at “petulant” Watford players who turned his 63-day reign into a nightmare.
The former Sheffield United boss won only three of his 11 games in charge after being parachuted into Vicarage Road when Slaven Bilic was sacked. But like Bilic and Rob Edwards before him, Wilder, 55, failed to get a tune consistently out of a squad routinely flattered by rival coaches as the strongest in the Championship.
And Wilder, replaced by Valerien Ismael as the Hornets' 19th different boss in 11 years – and the 11th since September 2019 – admitted it had been “the toughest spell I’ve had as a manager.”
