Parlaci Gino

I know you are a tad tongue in cheek but some of you really do come across as grumpy old men! Lol!

 

Due to the current lack of success of this campaign, I asked Chat-GPT to simulate what would happen if our owner spoke to the fans. Here was its response.

“It's matchday at Vicarage Road, and the atmosphere is electric as the Watford fans eagerly await the start of the game. Suddenly, Gino Pozzo, the owner of the club, steps out onto the pitch, and the crowd erupts in cheers and applause.

Gino stands in front of the fans, taking a moment to soak in the energy of the crowd. He then raises his hand to signal for silence, and the noise slowly dies down.

"Good afternoon, Watford fans!" Gino begins, his voice booming across the stadium. "I want to start by thanking each and every one of you for your unwavering support this season. Your passion and dedication are what make this club so special, and we are all truly grateful."

The fans cheer again, and Gino smiles before continuing.

"I know that this season has been a rollercoaster ride for us all. We've had our ups and downs, but we've stayed together as a team and fought through every challenge that has come our way. And I promise you, we will continue to fight until the very end."

The fans nod and cheer in agreement, and Gino's expression grows more serious.

Gino pauses, his eyes scanning the crowd.

"But I want you to know that every decision we make is with the best interests of this club at heart. We want to see Watford thrive, not just this season, but for many years to come. And we know that we can only achieve that with your continued support."

The fans nod again, and Gino's face breaks into a smile.

"So let's make some noise, Watford! Let's show the world what we're made of, and let's give our team the support they deserve! Thank you again for being here, and let's go out there and make this a day to remember!"

With that, Gino steps back, and the crowd erupts in cheers once more as the team takes to the field.”

Seems pretty realistic to me. Especially the eruption of cheers bit.

 

Completely unrealistic given the absence of any flag waving.

 

Yep, good enough for me. Worth waiting for.
In Gino we trust.
"Alexa, play Z cars theme tune"

 

Good point. I asked it to do again with the addition of flag waving and Harry The Hornet.

“As Gino Pozzo steps onto the pitch at Vicarage Road, he is greeted by a sea of flags and banners waving wildly in the stands. Suddenly, Harry the Hornet appears, dancing his way towards Gino with his usual flair.

Gino smiles as Harry joins him on the field. "Looks like the fans are in a festive mood today, Harry."

Harry nods and does a little dance. Suddenly, Gino's attention is diverted by the constant flapping of the flags, which is making it hard for him to concentrate.

"Uh, excuse me, folks," Gino says, trying to be heard above the din of the flag-waving. "I appreciate your support, but could you please tone it down a bit? We're trying to have a serious moment here."

The fans look sheepish and lower their flags, but a few still persist in waving them, causing more distraction.

Harry jumps in to diffuse the situation, doing a series of acrobatic moves that draw the attention of the crowd away from the flags.

"Thanks, Harry," Gino says with a smile. "Now, as I was saying, we may not be having the best season, but we're going to keep fighting until the very end."

The fans cheer as Gino finishes his speech, and Harry does a victory dance. Despite the distraction caused by the flag-waving, Gino and Harry manage to keep the mood light and positive, and the fans leave the stadium feeling energized and hopeful.”

Best double act since Cannon and Ball.

 

So the campaign is a waste of time is it! Well done DNSYE!!!!!

 

Not sure they bulldozed Pozzo and Duxbury into it.

I suspect it's more about knowing we won't make the play offs and placating the plebs.

 

Oh some coincidence, no this is down to DNSYE - well done them!

 

The arrogance of that snake **** Duxbury. It'll obviously be another behind closed doors exercise where the favourites/sycophants will be invited and receive soft volley questions about the catering at the ground or how often the pitch is relaid.

 

I have most of them on ignore now so I can simply play WFCforum Guess Who.

Well done all the bloggers that asked for some kind of communication.

To those that shat on it, even as a joke to get LOLs. Enjoy your grumpy old man shoutbox tomorrow.

Come on U Orns!!!!!!!

 

I'm going. What did you want me to ask Gino?

I got an invite through DNSYE for only an extra 1 pounds a week. Top bins!

 

How have I never seen this masterpiece before! Glorious stuff

 

Well done DNSYE. The fans forum will be open to Gino, Duxbury, Giaretta and Manga. They’ve even given it a catching name. Going to be called the AGM. Can’t wait.

 

That's it. I'm off to Reddit.

 

Don't get me wrong, im in the pro pozzo camp, but he's just going to come up with some rehersed lines, tell them what they want to hear type stuff. He isn't going to change his mind on anything!

It's going to be a waste of time!

The only thing i would take from this announcement is he is staying, if he was planning on selling i doubt he would put himself theough this.

 

Grumpy old man! Im a sprightly young fox i have you know!!

 

Gino,
The club recently issued a communication regarding bringing hot food and drink into Vicarage Road stadium. It stated that flasks are now banned because they are regarded as "a possible cause of harm to others.”

Do you have any figures relating to the number of injuries inflicted by reckless or inappropriate use of a Thermos flask - or other types of insulated drinks container - within sports stadia to support this contention?

That should get him sweating

 

Filbert is the only sprightly fox on here

 

It was defintiely the crummy meme whatdunnit.

 

This has come about because of the massive failure he has been over the past 5 years and fans having enough. He knows he’s lost the fans. This is him trying to win fans back. Just in time for the season ticket renewal.

Only way he wins fans back is;

- he’s 100% honest about our finances and digs into it. Not surface level, but detailed and provides everyone in attendance with a financial summary of our current state.

- Mogi Bayat and the ridiculous deals we’ve done with him for crap like Bayo, Okoye and the rest. How much have we paid Mogi over the years.

- What does Giaretta actually do and why is he still here after proving he’s a complete failure.

- Why didn’t he back Edwards with the signings he wanted.

- Who agreed to signing Manaj and the other crap in the summer.

- how much money have we spent on “sacking” managers.

- why do you continue to waste money by extending contracts of players who are broken

- who has the final say on all players signed and sold. (We know it’s Gino, but I want him to say it).

- Why don’t you sign better calibre players from the lower leagues

I’m sure I will think of more, but these are questions I want answered.

 

Good work - please can we make it a condition of fan attendance that there is no conflict of interest? (i.e. no FTWE, no WD18). Nobody who benefits from being given access to Watford players and staff should be allowed to attend.

 

If it's been created by DNSYE, then they should be front and center. They seem independent from the club. What it cannot be is Rookery Mike/Ucko etc giving Pozzo an easy ride because they may get Kabasele/Sema on their podcast. This forum should not include them whatsoever - they don't represent us.

 

Hey, that’s great. I think Bernie Taupin must have written the lyrics. Disappointed Elton didn’t record this.

 

I think this is good sign. Maybe I’m being naive, but I think this means they’ve got something big to announce. I just don’t see Gino fronting this out, unless he’s got something to deflect all the anger with.

 

Excellent, when do you have to sign the NDA by?

Totally unrelated but out of interest I asked ChatGPT what a politburo is:


A Politburo is a small group of top leaders within a political party or government that makes important decisions and sets policies. The term originated in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, where the Politburo was the highest decision-making body, responsible for overseeing the government and directing the activities of the party.

In general, a politburo is a group of individuals who hold a significant amount of power within a political organization. They are often responsible for setting the agenda of the party or government and making decisions about important issues such as foreign policy, economic policy, and national security.

Politburos can be found in various countries and political systems, but the term is most commonly associated with communist parties and socialist governments.

 

Ciao to all-a my beloved fans of Watford Football Club,

So, my friends, have faith. Trust-a in me, trust-a in the team, and trust-a in the process. And remember, as they definitely say in Italy, "ho parlato dall'alto" - I have spoken from on high.
