Hello, how you're doing to the Not the Top 20 podcast. It's sponsored by Betfair. It's great to have you with us. This is an EFL flavored podcast with myself, Ali Maxwell, with him Georgelic. You're right, mate? Hello, mate. I am all right. How are you? Good. Fired up? Yeah, I'm angry. Yes. Well, plenty to talk about from Leagues 1 and 2. Interesting results and things to pick through. But first, manager news. Breaking manager news. Watford FC has relieved Rob Edwards of his duties as head coach replaced by Slavin

Billich George Ellick. I'm outraged because it's not a surprise when I saw the story as

first reporters I think by Jason Burt of the Telegraph. You know, the initial reaction was

dismay rather than shock because, you know, the initial reaction was dismay rather than shock,

because, you know, if we go back to when Rob Edwards was appointed in the summer,

firstly, obviously, as a, you know, there's two guys who love League one and League two,

it was very exciting to see someone who in one season at League two level had proven

himself to be one of the more exciting managers had seen there,

to see him get rewarded with a job, not just in the championship, but one of the biggest clubs in the championship.

A club who had just been relegated from the Premier League was very exciting.

And to read the comments and to see the willingness from Watford, apparently, to change their normal process of sacking and

hiring and sacking and hiring was exciting to see and a lot of people said it was nonsense and that

you know a leper would never change its spots i was hoping that they were going to be wrong

without having much conviction in doing so.

And you had Scott Duxbury,

I think he's the CEO at Watford or,

you know, one of those titles at the top end,

came out and said,

we will be supporting Rob Edwards come hell or high water.

And for a club who I think are now,

you've just appointed their 17th manager since 2002.

That was a bold statement.
