    I'm worried that Pozzo doesn't understand enough English to grasp the key messages from the banners. So we need to go with "Vaffanculo" (allegedly, and according to Google Translate)

    How about no words?

    We can instead use hand signals that Italians understand.

    Like so…

    The guy speaks better English than some of our fans - infact he sounds like one of the characters from Goodfellas!
    So we'd probably be better off using Americans'esc swears like "mutha f*cker"

    Watford Stewards at away games have already stopped Watford fans going into grounds with anti Pozzo banners .

    Last night I dreamt that there was a protest and it took the form of a morris dance on Occupation Road.

    I suspect that would just result in our young wonder left back being given his big chance to "give the fans what they wanted".

    No, traditional bells and hankies, but most of the participants were shaven headed geezers in Stone Island and there was a massive crowd round them, roaring them on.

    Fake news. It's called Yellow Brick Road now.

    The club's going down the tubes but don't worry, our elite ultra fan group have been laser focused on the things that matter.

    What is this talk about waving white hankies?

    What is it with our fans and making an embarassment of themselves in public. We are a laughing stock already.

    if we are going to protest do it properly don’t give that lot up the road something else to mock us with

    It's why I don't take the Pozzo Out brigade seriously, it's either all online or ruining their mum's bed sheets.

    I think it originated from the DNSYE podcast and taken from previous hanky waving protests at Real Madrid and Barcelona.

    I agree it's not much, but frankly it's like trying to push water uphill getting any protest going at Watford. That's why I took matters into my own hands with the Mazzari Out Out Out, don't get off the bus, we don't want you poster I made.

    Or mine!
    I've ruined an old one and have some spare ( king-size sheet so plenty left). I had previously bought some replacements so all is well.
    I've seen it in Spain and think it's quite striking.
    It just so happens I have numerous handkerchiefs too if anyone is in need?

    Yes just listened to DNSYE. Im less concerned by it not being much and more concerned about the optics of what it looks like ie: a group of men waving delicate white hankies. It makes us look like proper nanas
    We would literally be handing that lot up the road a visual meme similar to the pictures of us bringing vegetables to games
    White scarves maybe, white clothing, white flags with slogans even just not hankies.

    We are going to look like a right bunch of **** doing this on the TV as we dissolve infront of Norwich. The chants write themselves for that lot up the M1.

    I feel like Cassandra.

    What about chucking bog rolls on the pitch at a certain time?

    They’re both white and signify ****

    I'm not sure 'we will look stupid if we do a particular thing' really counts as a divine prophecy, if I'm honest.

    Especially when we're talking about anything connected with Watford FC - it's par for the course.

    Do you mean having the gift of prophecy but being ignored or having a father named Priam and living in Troy Κασσάνδρα;

    If it's the former don't bother talking to Hector!

    How about chucking tennis balls on to the pitch? I've got plenty in my garden that the dog's buried that I could bring along

    I don't have any white handkerchiefs. Can I wave a pair of white underpants instead? Pozzo out!!!!

    The fans have their clubs back. They no longer have dodgy owners and questionable people running the clubs on a day-to-day basis. They are not at risk of administration. They have stopped being the circus show that made their fans miserable. They are trying to do things in a financially sustainable, strategic way.

    Is that bad? Is that not what you want?

    Our last “surrender” demo was the flag waving at Wem-ber-ley. Perhaps time to get the flags out of the cupboard?

    What does that mean exactly?
    I don't see what is 'dodgy' about Pozzo. Some of his methods are eccentric and fans may not like the way he operates but I can't see any justification for labelling him 'dodgy'. Duxbury, however, in my view, is incompetent and unpleasant and this agent chap's role needs to be clarified.
    I would suggest that the overwhelming majority of football clubs are at risk - to some degree - of going bust.
    All modern football is a circus. Poor form and bad results are what make fans 'miserable' - not spreadsheets they imagine they can see.
    Who says we're not operating in a strategic way? There is clearly a strategy in place - it might not be working as well as it has in the past and, as a result, fans are fed up with it, but it's a strategy nonetheless.
    What I want is to see Watford win a trophy. I don't care who owns us, how much he or she has got in the bank or how they made their money.

    Always blows my mind when people blame Duxbury and not Gino, the man who employs him, especially when Gino has just so spectacularly undermined him, which should leave anyone who just refuses to see it under no illusions about who makes all the decisions at the club, even though they shouldn’t have had any in the first place. I guess if you don’t want to see something blaming someone else is the easy way out.

    You also seem to regularly conflate the morality of an owner, and how an owner runs the club, which are two entirely separate issues. Your last sentence makes no sense in relation to Gino, as that isn’t the argument at hand.

    Gino is running the club into the ground, his background and how much money he has is an irrelevance. We’re about as far away from a trophy at the moment as we’ve ever been.

    I have to say I broadly agree with this. We never have any real knowledge about the finances of the club and certainly no control over the way it is run. I think you can slightly widen the causes that make fans miserable, to include things like the lack of young players coming through and the rapid turnover of players and coaches, meaning that you can never make a lasting connection with them and feel that you are fully supporting them.
