Sounds good to me! Maybe he can take Benteke off our hands as well.

Looking at the table Watford have lost 14 games, with a goal difference of -17. I would expect Roy to plan to turn those losses into draws using his defensive experience. If achieved then maybe the players will start to feel more confident. I don't know Watford's budget, but I think it is highly unlikely that they will be able to make any quality signings, no player will go want to go to a team second from bottom to play Royball. The season is half done, I genuinely doubt Roy has the time to do his stuff with the games left.
His best bet is to pick up the draws (can't see them going on a winning streak) and hope the bottom group stays close enough to give them hope. A real tough ask, but maybe they are planning for next season in the Championship. I have a feeling that is Burnley's plan too - go down, get the payment, and regroup.

Watford have 18 games left.

If you look at how Roy did in his first 18 games with us you'll see he got 5 wins and 7 draws.

This would take Watford to 37 points, that might just be enough, but it'd be close.

But, didn't start well, only 5 points from the the first 8 games.

I don't think he has the luxury of a slow start this time, pressure might tell.

... what

It looks like he's going to sign a 6 month contract today. It's clearly expected to be a short term fix.

Watford supporters giving the news a mixed reception, but Simon Jordon's approval was well received. Although one bloke didn't think so, saying about Roy 'he's crap, we're crap, we're going down'.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Roy’s last game at Selhurst could see his team getting relegated. Hopefully

Indeed, and as I suspected, Ray Lewington will be joining him.
Lewington is of course a former Watford manager.Watford's first game is away to Burnley and it was Lewington who signed Sean Dyche.
