Quique Sanchez Flores says he is regular dialogue with Watford's owners.

The Spaniard is under pressure to keep his job after winning just won game since taking over from Javi Gracia in September.

"I am speaking every week with the owners and sporting director," Sanchez Flores said.

"All of us are trying to find good solutions for the squad and the team. But in this kind of situation all of us look worse.

"The players, the coach, the club, the owners, everyone. Even the fans feel worse, of course."

He added: "When I accepted to come here I knew that we were going to suffer. This is what we are doing.

"But it is part of the plan. You need to suffer first if you want to get to a different step, different level.

"You are talking about the happiness of a lot of people. This is the most important thing. The happiness of the fans, the future of the club, the future of the squad."
