If only this was true. SEJ returns to Watford as part of an American led consortium that has bought out Gino Pozzo.
Wasn't one of the bids for Man U half by a consortium and the remaining half to be found by fans? Can't we look to something similar,like they do in Germany. GoFundMe WFC/ SEJ and Vinny Jones? Somebody. Any bleeding body!
Roughly net worth of our "celebrity" fanbase isn't enough. EJ = $550M Vinnie Jones $10M Geri Horner (nee Halliwell) $40M Mila Kunis $75M That's quite a bit combined, but lets be honest, Geri would never get involved and Mila is a hollywood A lister. Elton and Vinnie "could work", but it would also need a rather large sustansial fan' input. Gino won't be going anywhere until any he is bought out, or we are relegated. Even if a proposal to buy his share was met, he would still want any extra money he is owed before he would consider vacating. Plus on top of that, our ever extensive debt to Watford Lesuire Holdings PLC and Barclay's Bank. To put us financially in the "black" again, your looking at just under a 700M (best estimate). However, I do not know if the overall debt we have is the total owed to the bank and creditors.
If only I hadn't just transferred this year's ISA allowance,all our problems would be solved! I was musing just now as I was preparing Persephone 's breakfast that Giampaolo is an elderly man and sooner rather than later he will leave this veil of tears. I assume GP will then take over the reigns in Udine? Then what?
I think it's fairly likely it would be his sister who takes over, in as much as a Pozzo is 'in charge' at Udinese as opposed to here, rather than the dunce currently exiled to the farthest-flung regions of the Empire.
From James Horncastle's Athletic article on the Pozzo's hometown racket and the way things work in Udine itself that came out a couple of years ago, she seems to be a pretty effective operator. Then again, she is their Marketing Strategic Coordinator, whilst Gino actually gets gassed up a couple of times for having always been the 'Regista'/visionary of the family operation so perhaps I'm completely wrong and they are just as delusional: No word yet on how much that view might have been impacted by the subsequent 24 months of failed, moonman decision-making and managed decline.
Basically the footballing version of the Roy family. Daddy is the only one with any business acumen at all. We’ve ended up with Roman blowing up a space shuttle.
It's often so isn't it? The patriarch has the drive and ambition but the offsprings do not. My sponsor Mr Evans,he of the banning order on away fans and slightly to the right of Genghis Khan was a case in point. Average footballer and cricketer. Formed an industrial cleaning company,got up at 3am to clean floors. Made a fortune. All three children talented sports people but lacked his energy and enthusiasm and ultimately comfortable because of the environment they grew up in. Comfort and ambition rarely make good bedfellows in sport or business.
