Kenny Jackett was appointed manager in April 2004 after being QPR’s number 2 for a number of seasons. He also had one temporary spell as Watford manager where he led the club to a 22 match unbeaten streak – a club record.

Jackett spent his whole career playing for Watford as a defender. He played 335 games and scored 26 goals in ten years at Vicarage Road. He also played 31 matches for Wales at International level. Let’s give Jackett time to get his own players in a work on their fitness and hopefully he will lead us into the second division this coming season.

Fan’s Views –

“Talks a good game, and has made all the right noises so far. Did not handle the Roger situation well, but at least had the balls to make an unpopular decision. Will live or die on his transfer dealings I think.”
