The crux of the matter is that owning a football club and running a profitably business are two different things, The Pozzos try to do both but unless you are a top six club achievement is unlikely. There is no magic solution, I’m sure lots of strategy discussions would have taken place, us supporters live in hope, with more emotional investment than real investment at risk. ( The cost of season tickets and match day tickets, guarantees you will see a football match, anything else is a bonus) We have had lots of bonus’s over the years!
Thank you Hairy, that was my point, I think it would be universally accepted that such an expression would be unacceptable . Having already had a post modified on the subject I didn't want to push my luck.
Posted himself training today....amazing on a skipping rope. But he's in a local gym, as in the background is a kid in a Watford shirt, but he's not at the club today training. Deeney posted himself in training too.....but that's not at the club. He was in a public gym too by the looks of it, but not the same one as Fessi.
Probably for the best as Forestieri would've had a tantrum if Deeney hadn't passed him the skipping rope, even if Deeney was going for his hat trick of skipping sessions, just like the Fulham 5-0...
Im going to say it as you're all thinking it If we had had Fessi in the squad last season we wouldn't have gone down. He wouldn't have given up
To be fair, it's pretty dark so you can't be sure it's him. And like people say, don't believe anything you see on social media, even if it's posted by a verified account of the actual person involved.
Actually I cant be bothered. Cant remember old username, cant be bothered to create a new account and not logging in through a facebook account I don't use and cant remember
Verified sources are fine, like Troy Deeney posting a tweet about himself saying ‘f*** you all I’m off to join a monastery’ or Watford FC on its site saying ‘Troy has left’... Its the crap written by 8 year olds and wannabe ITKs you can’t trust. It’s not a hard concept to grasp.
Don't want to add to the forum "meltdown" but Forestieri just added a photo to his Instagram with the caption "Just few days more training alone"... Surest sign yet that Sarr/Deulofeu/Suarez are all off!
That louhorns guy on Twitter who has been mentioned on here a couple of times has said he has heard Forestieri is signing a one year deal. Could obviously be complete rubbish
He's actually got some connections. I know who he is, and although he's not an "insider" he's pretty solid. I'd believe it if he says it.
On face value, signing Fessi, Murray and this C team guy from Udinese is bad business, but I can't help but have a smile on my face.
I'd guess that his "connection" this time is the Instagram post and he's taken a punt on it to look ITK. Otherwise, it would be a mighty big coincidence that his "source" just happened to confirm it right after Forestieri posted that photo...
Well it's served it's purpose then...... I'd only be disappointed and asking "what the hell", if these guys were first choice starters, but I think they'll be bench/squad options to call upon in a busy season.
No need to be cynical about who he knows or where he gets his info from, but he's dedicated and has his nose to the ground. A decent chap and been a Watford fan for quite a while. That's good enough for me, in a time when getting good info out of the club is like blood from a stone.
It is him. Can tell from the total lack of interest in defending the free kick then sprinting as soon as the keeper gets the ball. Played his best football at Wednesday cutting in from the left, guessing that's where he'd be cover for.
He says today seems to be a complete nightmare and I hope I wake up soon. What next... Neuton rejoining ? FF should never get anywhere near the team. He was a selfish sulker who couldn't hold down a starting place when at his peak. God knows what the little racist dwarf is like now.....
Could do worse in the Championship than Sarr, João Pedro, Sema and Forestieri as our choices on the wings
