Watford captain Troy Deeney says the decision to sack Quique Sanchez Flores was crazy.
"His time here has been a success.
"He's brought me on a lot as a player and a person. I have nothing but gratitude. We've had 16 new players and he's made it seem effortless.
"Sunderland have been in the bottom three and managed to stay up, and Sam Allardyce is being hailed as a great manager, which he is, for keeping them up.
"But we've seemingly coasted through this season, never really flirted with relegation, and our gaffer's been sacked. It's one of those crazy ones."
