Roy Hodgson
Roy Hodgson has said he is not guaranteed to stay as Watford manager until the end of the season as the club take another step toward relegation. Manchester City were rampant on a sunny day at the Etihad only adding to the ‘Orns woes.
Roy Hodgson said: “No. no assurances at all. So that’s another matter altogether. If they think that the situation can be changed by getting rid of myself and Ray [Lewington], then that will be their prerogative. I’ve never asked for any assurances since I came to the club. I said: ‘I’ll come to the club, I do the job to the best of my ability’. But I’ve never once asked for an assurance, and I don’t have those types of conversations with the owner. When I came in, I was given a mandate and the club made it clear what they would like Ray and I to do to try and get a better organisation certainly defensively. But having said that, you know, even that hasn’t worked in the way we would like because when you concede five goals up here, you can’t say we’ve improved the defending as much as we would have liked.”
