    Odd how people say we are cheating, but no mention of cheating when it comes to Russian/Arab billionaires pumping money into the kitty.

    There is one bloke absolutely going for it on the Lesta forum.

    He's come out with a gem talking about how it's the same as them loaning to a League 1 club. Must be cos they're so MASSHIVE.

    I wish people would stop going on forums and saying we're owned by a mutual owner. We aren't. We're owned by Gino Pozzo, son of Giampaolo Pozzo. No mutuality in sight.

    Pozzo owned players though, I wouldn't like to argue independence in court.

    Meanwhile the Leicester forum for sane people (the one I use) has barely had a mention of Watford for weeks.......

    If people don't understand something, they're inclined to dislike/not trust it. Every fan in the league has more important things to worry about with FFP and a league that will be hugely competitive and tight as always this coming season. We're having a quiet summer, so some will moan about Watford, Palace look set to get ****ed every week in the Prem and they moan about Watford too. Both these sides have very recent history with you and the whole set up at your club is relatively new and pretty much unseen in this country, so naturally its causing a stir.

    But things change all the time in football, we get used to new ideas and desensitised to change in my opinion. The rebranding of leagues and teams, nouveau riche clubs and the never ending merri-go-round of players and coaches are part and parcel of the sport, and in 6 months I honestly believe that people will be completely used to your setup and having nothing more to talk about other than league form or how your players are playing, not where they've come from or how they've joined.

    I think your last sentence will be right if we're mid table, but if we are chasing promotion, it'll get highlighted at every opportinity, in my opinion.

    Filbert - The most bizarre thing was a Palace fan (who beat us of course) went onto your site moaning about us!

    Be like me starting a thread on a Forest forum about Burnley....

    Lets be honest you weren't too far away from knocking us out too.

    Mutuality sounds like a special interest porno category involving sex in building societies.

    We can't just buy the players and sell them back after a year, the players negotiate contracts and have to agree. Some people are very short sighted. It's fun reading the comments though.

    The funny thing is no-one appears to have moaned about the fact we did actually break some rules with the Bassini/Graham saga and only got a fine..

    This isn't breaking anything.

    I am sure we will be accused of breaking the spirit of the game..but then what morals are in football?

    I'm loving the whole "you're avoiding FFP" The quoted bulletpoints are from UEFA and reasons why we are assisting FFP.

    Creating a sustainable tream by using resources readily available at our disposal.

    Cutting the size of the Udinese/Granada squad where they are paying their salaries for not much game time. Lower/no transfer fee will not effect inflation.

    We are creating a revenue at Watford, sponsorship/crowd size/merch. We are looking to compete.

    Signed many academy products to longer contracts. Investing in players from other youth academies. Udinese are currently building a new stadium and Granada are building new training facilities.

    We ain't going anywhere soon. Neither are the other clubs the Pozzo family own.

    Watford are working to repay debts. Granada annouced about a month ago they are now debt free.

    All in all, the Pozzos are adhering to all points that were set out in the UEFA guidelines relating to FFP.

    Sorry I have tried to correct a couple on the "transfer embargo"

    Its not their fault if they believe what the Mail and Sun tell them.

    Well now explain that it's a section 19 embargo ... we basically just have to show our finances are now in order to get approval.
