Whilst Watford FC have been a rudderless ship, other clubs are busy putting their squads into place. I see Bournemouth have turned down £300k for Wiggins which has probably priced him out of a move here. I only hope our new manager can have a clear Budget. My usual source for player profiles is Soccerbase, but they list Travner, Sadler and Ellington in our professional ranks. Boy oh boy, its a good thing the "Tennis Season" starts next week as I can't keep waiting for some positive news. I can't help thinking it will be Nick Cox (brilliant Youth coach) who will be taking Pre Season training. I can wait for the season to start as I can see when my club isn't ready to start.
That's because they are still on our books. Their contracts aren't up until the end of the month. As for Wiggins et al - they are the same but due to age it will be the same principle as Graham was - agree a fee or risk the tribunal route so you never know....
I hear Baz has put a maximum £50,000 per player on any purchases, and that wages will be capped at £1,000 per week, unless the player concerned is prepared to put in extra hours waitering in the function suite or doing a bit of bricklaying in the South West Corner. (step forward TD). Also to save on travel costs, the club have invested in a secondhand minibus from the 21st/43rd Watford Scout troop, as the bills from Kings Ferry are too steep.
Infamy, Infamy - they've all got it In For Me! But do you get my point? I reckon all of the managerial merry go round is not helping the planning for the new season. Although Tom Aldred has gone to Inverness on loan, err not sure who decided that one? I didn't think Aldred was that bad!!!!
