GRAHAM TAYLOR poached players when he came over!!! BOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSS. Lol, good to see he still has a sense of humor.
VitalWatfordVital Watford GT: "It is something that has always happened in football. In '77 when I joined Watford two of my first signings were from Lincoln City."
Ross Wilson: "Don Cowie's situation was a complete disaster for the club" But he was offered a significant offer by Watford
Ross Wilson says that DG went for substantially more than we were entitled to get for him. The Cowie situation was a disaster and he made it clear that the problem was there!! He was offered a wage packet towards the top of the bracket we offer.
GT says that poaching has always been in the game. He admits to it himself. Danny Graham's agent was helpful. Cowie was offered more to stay, but we couldn't compete. Questions on the pitch: The pitch is level, it just goes downhill.
GT- the pitch is level, it just goes downhill!! Quality!!!! Timings were not right as it would have had to be relaid within a week of the take over.
GT: "I was disappointed, as far as I understood the situation there would be a leveling and a new pitch put in."
Development areas and weaknesses- difficult to change such a percentage of the team. He is looking to improve constantly and can probably improve everything and take plenty of courses. He is taking advice from different managers and staff to develop constantly. He keeps preaching about things taking time- but we dont have a lot of that!!! He has bought players to develop!! Why do that when we have kids to develop!!
VitalWatfordVital Watford SD: "My personal development is an ongoing process. With regards to the team's development, things take time."
Everything I have heard so far suggests that the club has been in turmoil since the takeover. Sarries...GT trying to be tactful. He is having trouble.
Observer_OwlWatford Observer #WatfordFC chairman Graham Taylor says he doesn't want to be rude to #Saracens but he was pleased when he thought they had left
Saracens- When they will leave?? GT pleased with them leaving! But deals were done that they are back. He feels it has never been a partnership between the clubs. They simply paid us to play on our pitch. Dont have Sarries back if we arent doing the pitch!! A direct ultimatum from GT! MEOW!
