Nani, Zola and Duxbury all left West Ham in 2010, after a poor season. Three famous businesspeople and a man who was a penalty away from winning the Champions League took their place, and got them comfortably relegated.

If it is confirmed that Zola is coming, and I hope he isn't, the big difference here will be that Gino or Giampaolo Pozzo will have a veto on all the major decisions. While it's not in their nature to micro manage, they have shown at Udinese in particular that they aren't afraid to exercise their power when necessary.
 
Kev--I think the Pozzo's way of doing things will be different, and we will notice the difference. There will be some turnover of players--do older players like Doyley, Eustace, Taylor have much of a future at Watford in the Pozzo set-up? We will not be bringing in loan players from English Premier league clubs (no more Cleverley's or Foster's) since we are no longer a finishing school for any other club than Udinese. On the other hand, we no longer have to sell players as soon as they show some value, just in order to raise working capital or pay off debts--we can keep the Sordell's and Mariappa's a bit longer , till they show the multi-million pound value that the new owners are aiming for.So perhaps no need to sell Mariappa this season, but Lloyd may find himself sidelined . I hope they support all his benefit year plans.

No limited cover in the offices tomorrow then - surely means no sackings - the first positive? ;)

It is only right that the staff are first to be informed rather than it comes as a surprise.

Giampaolo Pozzo live su @SkySport24 : Gianfranco Zola sarà il nuovo allenatore del Watford #inboccaallupo

=========================

Roughly translated, this journalist is claiming that Giampaolo Pozzo has stated that Zola will be the new manager.
 
I believe that the staff have been paid, but the meeting for them didn't take place. Someone failed to turn up.

It should have been a staff forum!
