NIGEL PEARSON is reportedly on the verge of being sacked by Watford.
The Hornets have just two matches left this season and are still in danger of getting relegated.
But Friday’s 3-1 defeat to West Ham infuriated club chiefs.
And now the Daily Mail claim they are set to wield the axe and replace Pearson.
Pearson only took charge of the club in December – staggeringly Watford’s third manager of the season.
The Vicarage Road outfit were bottom of the league but he has led them rise up the table before a miserable run of results dragged them right back into trouble.

The defeat against fellow strugglers West Ham helped the Hammers open up a three-point margin over the Hornets.
The clash was a crunch one for Pearson and his side in their fight for survival with their final two games coming against Manchester City at home and an away trip to Arsenal.
Watford sit three points above Bournemouth and Aston Villa in the drop zone.
