'Nothing will change until the Pozzos sell'
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked you what you thought of Watford's appointment of new boss Alessio Dionisi. Here is a selection of what you had to say: Matt: He will be gone by the first international break. Until Gino Pozzo wakes up, realises that the problem is him and the people that run the club, we will never move forward. Martin: If you throw enough darts at the board eventually you must hit the bullseye, surely? Graham: Par for the course. Completely predictable appointment, ticks every WFC box - no EFL experience, doesn't speak English, mediocre career, unknown, recently sacked for poor results in a poor league in a foreign country. Qas: We keep putting a new driver behind a sputtering car, rather than changing the engine. Likely to lose Louza and possibly Irankunda or Maamma this summer, without adequate replacements, it might finally be the season our car comes to a complete stop. Tony: Again it feels like the Pozzos trying to do things on the cheap. Duxbury says we need more Championship experience so we go an get a 'promotion specialist' who has never coached in England. It will be interesting to see what they do in player recruitment as they are lagging behind other teams (even compared to League One) in terms of splashing the cash on quality, proven players. Harry: I suppose that Pozzo feels that the scattergun approach to appointing first team coaches must, by the law of averages, pay off at least once. Can only hope that he gets given the players to supplement those already at the club to allow him a chance of success. Neale: If we get in the players we need he has a fighting chance. We need two experienced defenders and a striker who can hold up. If we get those, it would suit his system he will want to play. Keeping hold of Baah, Kyprianou, Irankunda and Vata will be crucial to that though. Fingers crossed (that's all we have left!). Peter: Changing the manager on such a frequent basis only fosters a toxic attitude within the players, as they know they won't be to blame. We've seen this for the last few seasons, and it won't change until the Pozzos sell the club. Joel: So this is the experienced, promotion-winning Championship manager we were promised? Another elite appointment from the board who have once again ticked every box on the job specification. I assume Alessio has been told to avoid anything longer than short-term accommodation, because I'm not convinced he'll make it to the first international break, especially when you consider his record at previous clubs.
