Watford Announce Jay DeMerit as Head Coach

In a surprising turn of events, Watford have announced former captain Jay DeMerit as Head Coach at the club on a one year contract. This follows the news that current Watford Manager Quique Sánchez Flores has stepped down for personal reasons after only a couple of days at the club.

While Jay Demerit is surely interested in bringing in young Americans to the first team at the club, it is though his main transfer philosophy is to bring in a large amount of young players between the ages of 18-25.

After speaking in his first interview at the club he said: "I am ready for the challenge ahead: Watford have a good team, supportive owners and are a good blank canvas for me to work with."

When asked if he would be spending the transfer funds available he responded with: "I am certainly interested in couple of players, we need one or two attacking midfield options and a couple of other options. So of course I am interested."

More news to follow shortly.

DeMerit Happy with Strong Squad

Watford's new manager seems pleased to have taken over a squad of such quality, although suggesting that he want's 'one or two' new players to add to the squad. "I beleive that we are in a good position right now, although we are feeling a little bit weak in the attacking portions of the pitch."

When asked for specific name's, DeMerit responded saying: "We hold an interest in Will Hughes, Loic Remy and Jefferson Montero".

Watford are also though to be looking at Bentancur, Balanta and new goalkeeper, but nothing formal has been announced yet.

Watford in Disappointing First Match with Newcastle

Jay DeMerit's newly promoted Watford side lost in a disappointing fashion when loosing to Newcastle this week. Newcastle United's electric striker Doumbia bringing the only goal of the game in the first half, with nothing to write home about happening before or after.

Speaking after the game Watford manager DeMerit was positive stating; "The Premier League season is very long, while I got the tactics wrong for this match, I believe we showed enough to prove to people why we belong here.

"I have to thank the goalkeeper Gomes, for keeping us in the game at points although I must expect more from the team, if we are going to progress."

When asked about a quick fix being brought in DeMerit reluctantly responded saying; "I would never bring in a player for a 'quick fix' every player that is at the club will have to prove to us to pay to bring them here."
