    and she still doesn't get it <laugh>


    Obviously your transfer fees won't be accounted for you ****ing moron. Why would the Pozzos pay THEMSELVES?

    Players are being signed under Udinese's and Granada's names and being shipped out to Watford to avoid having their transfer fees on the Watford books. How difficult is that to understand?

    This is to avoid FFP regulations. Get that into your skull before you start calling people idiots.

    On no he hasn't

    He has via his agent said he wants to play in the premier league which is fair enough for a czech international who has ambitions.

    You were completely wrong about the loans. They have not only come back but signed fairly long contracts. FFP was created to stop clubs becoming financial basket cases. Leicester FC has been a classic case on how not to run a football club. I am pleased that some sense has prevailed within your club which should help in the long run, once you have ditched the overpaid dross.

    The Pozzo method is just one way to run a club within it's means. However much you guys winge the authorities will not see our operation as anything but good for the game.

    The challenge to the competing clubs is to search for other sustainable means. When Leicester splashed the cash you had no concern for clubs with much less finance.

    How many times do we have to say that all the transfers have been scrutiniesd and approved by the authorities including the FFP element.

    I would worry about the lack of transfer activity at your club if I were you. Must be a relief to get rid of Beckford.

    I love how after one season in their history Watford fans think they're tiki-taka connoisseurs.

    Financial Fair Play was designed to stop little clubs who generate little to no money from signing quality players worth millions and millions (spending beyond their means).


    But as you've found a way around it (a loophole) I consider you to have cheated the system and have gained an unfair advantage on the opposition.

    Fortunately the authorities take a sensible attitude and no notice of supporters of other teams whinging and whining.

    I'm afraid sonny boy you are wasting your time & effort. All of the governing bodies want football clubs to be sustainable. Why don't you take your head out of the comic and think of some ideas which would help your club compete sensibly.

    Is not a loophole where two rules contradict each other allowing someone to take advantage? There is only one rule governing the transfer or loan of players inside the FL, where they come from is not important, so there is no loophole.


    Also if Leeds United Leicester City Derby County or Nottingham Forest were acting like Watford would you complain? I do not think that. as they are part of the sleepy giants and any club who threatens this group of former big teams is obviously doing something wrong.

    What a load of crap. Most people was behind Blackpool, Burnley, Hull and Reading when they got promoted. They just want people to be on a level playing field

    Not like QPR when they went up because they cheated which they got fined for and nearly had a points deduction that could have denied them promotion and you lot taking players from Udiense.

    Wrong. It was designed to stop clubs spending beyond their means full stop (Leicester being a prime example of why this was necessary). Watford are not spending beyond their means. Udinese have not paid any money to anyone to ship them on to Watford. Those players they signed before transferring to Watford were frees, out of contract. Most were on their books already, a consequence of their immense scouting system. Udinese were paying their wages; now Watford are. Everybody wins.

    However, I doubt you will comprehend any of this; given your arrogant assumption that FFP is there to keep tinpot little clubs in their place (as you state above), I can only conclude that you are a deluded twat.

    FFP is designed to stop clubs over spending and makes clubs focus on bringing players through their academy rather then signing new players.

    Or you could just **** the system and sign a load of Italians on free's from your parent club

    Taken directly from the Uefa website

    Aims of FFP

    to introduce more discipline and rationality in club football finances;
    &#8226; to decrease pressure on salaries and transfer fees and limit inflationary effect;
    &#8226; to encourage clubs to compete with(in) their revenues;
    &#8226; to encourage long-term investments in the youth sector and infrastructure;
    &#8226; to protect the long-term viability of European club football;
    &#8226; to ensure clubs settle their liabilities on a timely basis.

    I would say Watford are contributing to decreasing pressure on transfer fees. wouldn't you?

    Sorry Guy, but you are wasting your time. Proud_Fox doesn't deal with facts, just his own distorted opinions.

    All of the above is to counteract the stupid antics in the past of clubs like Portsmouth and Leicester

    Watford used more players from their academy last season than any other club except Middlesbrough. The Watford academy is going from strength to strength. Parents like the fact that it also provides an education for the players so that they have some qualifications for when their careers end. Watford opted out of the FA academy system because it is too expensive, gives too much power to the big Premier League teams, is not good for the boys and is not good for bringing in players to the Watford side. I would imagine that once the Pozzo regime is settled Watford academy boys will also have the opportunity to gain experience with Udinese and Granada.

    As a matter of interest how many Leicester players have come through your academy system and played last season? This is a genuine question because the FA system seems to discriminate against non Premier League teams. If you have found a way around this then good on you.
