'Another worrying summer and relegation incoming'

We asked for your thoughts on another summer of change at Watford, with new head coach Alessio Dionisi coming in, a shake-up to the recruitment approach and key players rumoured to be following Giorgi Chakvetadze through the exit door.

Here are a selection of your responses on what you make of the upheaval at Vicarage Road and your expectations for the 2026-27 Championship campaign.

Chris: Relegation incoming. Another season of panic loans (from Udinese) and manager changes. Nothing will change until Pozzo and Duxbury leave.

Matt: It doesn't matter how many changes are made. The only change needs to be the ownership. They did so much good initially but for the last six years they have driven us into the ground.

Richard: After over 35 years as a season ticket holder, I have not renewed this year. I'm fed up of the managerial merry-go-round.

Andrew: Feels like the last few years of poor recruitment both on and off the field is going to finally catch up with us. With us being just over a month from the start of the season and being extremely short in key positions, I am predicting that we might get pulled into the relegation scrap or at best mid-table.

Divs: The disappointment of appointing another mediocre manager may yet be replaced with enthusiasm should we get some decent players in. If we aren't able to attract anyone, we should be looking at who we will be playing in League One next season.

Sid: Another worrying summer. An unknown manager with no Championship experience who'll be gone by mid-October. Our best players understandably looking elsewhere for the opportunities we can no longer provide. I feel so sad to see the Pozzo Project go from unimaginable success to utter neglect.

Richard M: Another season of the same with strikingly similar questions...as always. Will the manager make it through the season? Unlikely. Exodus of quality players and reliance of youth? Highly probable. Mid-lower table/relegation fodder? Absolutely.

Daniel: The board say the same thing every year, new manager who wants to play attacking football who we are going to back with signings and try and get them into the Premier League. Reality is that it isn't happening and after failing miserably last season, I hope that this season, the board can make the right decision in terms of recruitment and in how the club is run as a whole.

Terry: There's constant turmoil at the club, change of policy goes hand in hand with change in manager, coaches and staff. Until both go together without interference from above, nothing will change.

Paul: Scott Duxbury should be the main change at Watford. He is responsible for identifying managers and the constant change is down to his poor skillset. It wasn't long ago he was saying the club needed a manager with EFL experience, who had gained promotions and would bring a new dynamic to the club. Instead he brings in a manager with no EFL experience and who won promotion in Italy once.
