Laughable how the main topic of conversation in this man's thread is how hard it may or may not be to pay him off. Tells you all you need to know.

I think there’s a reason why that may be true. There’s probably a concern at boardroom level that he was prepared to walk out on Watford after a handful of games, and he hadn’t stayed longer than one season at his previous clubs either whether it was his fault or not. If we tie him down to a long term contract, the thought probably is that nobody will come in for him and potentially turn his head if he does well, as nobody will likely pay the 25+ million in compensation needed to buy him out of the remainder of his contract. There’s also probably a thought that we want to commit to someone Longer term as we’ve just binned 3 managers in a couple of years and we ourselves need to be careful of getting a reputation of firing managers at the drop of a hat.
The flip side to that of course, is he better turn out to be good! because we can’t afford to sack another manager, and pay off 3/4 years that may be left on a 6/7/ million a year contract. Risky! But I can understand potentially going down the long term route.

Mate, it's a done deal. The June the 1st date suits all parties for an announcement.
I'd imagine they will have already tied up a number of deals for players as it's clear both have been on the cards for a number of months if not a totally done deal. The international players are away yes, but numerous players have signed for clubs pre world cup / euros previously. It'll all be in hand of that I've no doubt. I'm very confident in these two guys being a sucess.
Can't trust anyone these days
@BigBlueNose been on a full on rant, although I`m guessing White Cider played a big part in it.

No panic to announce him as the players are away. Marcel officially starts June 1st. Also gives a little longer to maybe sort things with Watford.

Looking at the state of some of his posts, he`s either got rabies after being bitten by @Donald Twain or he`s been on it all afternoon.

I expected a few more tbh. Think they may just be resigned to it now.
I just want it done and dusted now so we can start fuming about the transfers.
I think nowadays the agents do most of the talking and negotiating and the player and manager have a quick meeting to discuss footballing matters and then the player signs.
