None yet. But when every club has to prove they have spent up to a loss of 8m for the season, you will be easily able to because you won't have any transfer fees to show for the players your dodgy owners have signed for Udinese/Granada and passed them off to you for free. It'll be interesting to see if Watford are paying the wages for these players. If not then it could get very messy for you. Of course i'm upset. My club is being is trying ****ing hard to get into FFP shape and you're just winging it. It's not fair and you all know it!
Would you like to explain you comment, as unless you can provide good evidence about it, that is libel.
Andy, you're sounding more and more like a little boy stamping his foot because he's not good enough to play with the big boys! You really are making yourself look silly!
If clubs like yours hadn't spent beyond their means there would be no need for FFP. Watford without rich benefactors for years made do with under investment and making do with cast offs, has beens and young players who were not the finished product. That wasn't fair . What goes around comes around.
It seems to be just Leicester (and the Daily Mail) that have a problem with our signings. Last year they complained that they weren't permanent signings. This year it is because they are.
So I spent the day up at London Colney today, and it was a great day. Although I didnt actually watch much training, it was a very productive day. I got to speak to several of the players, old and new, and they are all enjoying life with Watford and are looking forward to Stevenage tomorrow and the season in general. Forest is as much of a joker as ever! When I went to get his autograph as he left, he pulled up thendrove forward a few feet with that big grin we all love plastered on his face. Geijo was there training and again was in good spirits. He had arrived with Cassetti and Cristian, but when they left, Cristian wasnt with them, so I joked that they were missing someone and Alex replied, that they had told him to take a taxi. They have also been given their squad numbers and these are the ones I have so far Almunia unknown unknown Angella? unknown Ekstrand Battoccio Hogg Deeney McGugan Forestieri Doyley unknown Jenkins Acuña unknown unknown Pudil unknown unknown Anya Abdi Brown Britt unknown Mensah Cassetti Smith Thompson Bond Geijo O'Nein
I know I can be a bit slow at times but could someone explain a couple of points for me as I must have missed them over the summer. 1) When did the future of the English youth system become solely Watfords responsibility? 2) When did buying more than one player from a club become illegal? 3) Why is it perfectly fine to spend millions that you don't have but considered cheating to work within your means and not get into debt?
Thank you Bloother, it was great fun. He was there wearing the number 31 kit, but I thought they were trying to iron out the deal. I dont know, I guess we will see.
Answers 1) The English youth system is clearly Watford's responsibility because we have an academy that has opted out of the FA's system which is geared to making more money for the Premier League, rather than developing players. 2) when the players in question are going to a club other than your own and are better than your players. 3) this is the most serious failing. Our whole economic system is dependent on debt. There can be no economic growth without debt. To attempt to run a business that does not involve debt is to challenge the very basis of Western democracy. Perpetrators of such ideas will be treated as harshly as the Marxists and their leftist ideologues were. The future of civilisation as we know it requires that Watford are destroyed.
Someone call this man a doctor, he is clearly very unwell! He is suffering from delusions and is clearly losing his sense of normality and reality. There was the slightest contact between him and Cassetti but he chose to go to ground. Yet Briggs was pulling him and shoving him all the way down the wing yet he stayed on his feet. Why might that be? He made a conscious decision to stay on his feet outside the box and to go down when he would get more than a free kick. He blatantly cheated and paid the price for it.
