Ten years ago this week a statement was released to the Stock Exchange in response to 'media speculation' regarding a possible takeover at #watfordfc. One of the parties was a Mr L Bassini. Memories eh...
Part of the issue are the obvious mistakes from above, that irks too so does the lack of communication from the club.
Nor hitchhiking to Mansfield, getting there a lot earlier than expected and having to sleep under a hedge - then waking up covered in snow. But at least that was back in the days when we won away from home...
The Championship is the equivalent of the old 1st Division from the seventies and eighties where we did so well, the Premier League is almost a new League made up of the "elite" clubs and we have spent more time in this elite league than a lot off the teams that were riding high in the old 1st Division We have been punching way above our weight since the eighties but only fans over the age of fifty will have any idea of this For me it is not that we are not top but that our so called Premier League players are not performing as they should be and the football has not been good to watch The odd thing for me is that playing without fans we have the best home record and the worst away, does that say something about our fans at home matches Munoz on his own does not appear to be what we as a Club need but the perceived record of manager sackings will deter anyone who could solve all our current problems Gino take note before it is finally too late I would prefer to go up next season with the right manager and team than stagger over the line and come straight back down, again Gino again take note We are not about to do what several once established Premier League teams have done as soon as they dropped out of the top flight but we need to start performing as a team and that is as much down to the players as the coach Players like Sarr must start putting in the effort that is needed or go for as much as we can get for him Deeney can still offer a lot as our Captain, but he can't run the channels like he could a few years ago, Gray has lost it and Pedro needs game time with a clear role, Feminia, Sema and Massina are doing well for us, Cleverly and Hughes can do well in this league and Backman is our long term future, our current centre back seem to working well as a pair The squad does not need much doing to it apart from getting rid of the driftwood and giving some younger players a chance If you are still reading this, thank you, the future can still be good but needs a lot of work in the short term
The Wobby is full of challenging reports for the club eh... Luther and Gray Pearson and the culture The supporters trust and fans comments
Yes but they just pick up articles and comments from elsewhere. It’s all very toxic atm - by Watford standards. Combination of bad performances, people unhappy with the board and frustration in general regarding the situation in the world. Some might say the latter puts “only” being 5th in a football league into perspective! The club didn’t help themselves with the Luther “Mis-it” comments” That was never going to go down well.
I will suggest that the Luther Gray issue was not cleared at a high level I.e. Duxbury didn't see it before it went out. I think a lot of the social media content is managed at a marketing level and they are left to get on with it.
So we came close to losing Sarr - didn't only because Liverpool didn't have the cash. That should send a message to the Watford fans who think Gino should be splashing the cash on every name player we're linked with.
Nice touch from Andre - made a large donation to a good cause . https://www.gofundme.com/f/lear-family-fundraiser-for-fees-funeral?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp share-sheet&fbclid=IwAR1t9wYm7W3QLPRh1-A-TYD8tvIqMMLpWYgcZ3AQJzU5Xm3sWbY_U-fCPKA

"Filip Stuparević is not currently on loan but is ineligible to play in England." What???? https://www.watfordfc.com/news/news-efl-squad-list-explained
Serbia were due to be part of the EU but there has been disputes so he is not eligible until he gets a work permit or Serbia are granted EU status.
