On holiday atm and reading a book called State of Play (by the wonderful Michael Calvin who has written some fantastic books on football) and theres a whole chapter on Watford. Thought it might interest some of you so I took pics of the Watford section that you can read at the link below: http://imgur.com/a/O09C2pp
A good read - apart from Duxbury’s line: ‘the transfer window is when Gino comes alive’ Little evidence so far this summer.
And, if you'd rather, you can watch it here... https://sport.bt.com/video/bt-sport-films-state-of-play-91364367462282
Interesting that we have three scouts to monitor head coaches and assistant coaches. I guess they do rotating shifts for opening the basement door, throwing down scraps of meat and refilling the water bowls.
Supposedly "The Pozzos are considering purchasing a second division Spanish club" - if so, then why did they sell Granada? Noticed a mistake: "Lewis Gordon and Ryan Cassidy, local boys associated with the club since the age of seven". unless Dublin and Watford can be considered "local" now.
Could someone please send this to Jugears, Jenas, Garth "Alan Pardew will do a job for them" Crooks and Chris Sutton?
They thought they'd taken it as far as they could and they had an offer on the table that made them a tidy profit. Now they go buy another one and lather, rinse, repeat.
Was that we changed manager so often? If you give someone a job to do, there’s a clear risk they’ll do it.
Presumably because the right price was offered. If they were offered £150m for us, who would blame them if they sold &, 6 months later, bought Millwall for £20m? If lucky, Reids would be included.
