Rob Edwards must have thought long and hard about it.
The decision to leave behind a team on the up, albeit having only been there for a season, and take up one of the hotseats with the shortest lifespan in English football must not have been easy.
He knew the criticism of his decision to jilt Forest Green Rovers would come. So too will likely follow the detractors who insists he will be out of a job by Christmas given Watford's knack of hiring and firing multiple managers per season. The key now for Edwards is to block out all of that noise as he attempts to do something which no Hornets' manager has had the privilege of being able to do for well over a decade: try to build solid foundations within the club.
