I imagine Wood will get a fair wage rise and a longish contract which for a 30 year old must have been very tempting. It is almost like an each way bet for Newcastle. He can do a job to help them stay up (if they can get supply to him) and he will be a weapon next season if they do go down.
So, assuming City maintain their points per game average for the rest of the season (and there is no reason to assume they won't)
Then Liverpool have now reached the point where they have to win every single one of their last 17 games to win the title.
Everyone else is already cooked.

Tinkerman sacked. Ranieri goooorn after only 14 games at Watford (11 of which they lost).
Watford should have spoken to someone at Fulham before they appointed him.

They were looking a silver bullet of magic.
Ranieri was worth a shot. Howe would have been good too but that ship has sailed.
Relegation is inked in.

Roy Hodgson to take over as the new head coach of Watford for the rest of the season.
I wonder when Sam Alardyce will get the call to try and save another desperate team from the drop?

@bovidae Why Woy? Why?
You would think he could just retire at 74. He first was a manager in 1976!!!! He's almost reached 50 years in football management, not sure anyone could rival that for a duration. This is his 24th position. Just in England it is Bristol City, Blackburn, Fulham, Liverpool, West Brom, Palace and now Watford (and England).
What a tenure for Ranieri - only 2 wins but they were 5-2 at Everton and 4-1 at home to Manchester United (both managers now sacked).

Wow!! That is a great stat!!!
I had to look into that as I didn't believe it. Some context!
6 managers between founding (1902) to 1990. So average 15 years each!
then 18 manager changes since then! So it's 24 manager changes, but a lot of managers have come back
Roeder, Booking, Moyes have all done two stints, whilst Kevin Keen (don't know him) has done 3!
@majorrage Keen's still at West Ham. He's been caretaker on three occasions currently U18's coach. I remember him playing for them in the 80's
Crazily I remember every coach but the first three. Those three account for 60 years though.

Yes me too. Greenwood/Lyall covered 28 years between them. Those were the days ..... Watford's last pair of managers were more like 28 weeks.
I don't know if anyone else watches Darren Farley's videos. His impressions of Gerrard and Kane are brilliant.
This one about Woy.
Imminent transfer: Mason Greenwood from Manchester United to prison? Audio and images his ex-girlfriend has uploaded to social media are horrifying.
