Aidy: I speak to Elton on a weekly basis

Aidy Boothroyd has revealed he receives a phone call from Sir Elton John every week.

"I speak to him every week," said the manager. "Wherever he is he gets on the phone because he is a massive fan and wants to know what is going on, who am I picking and have I seen this player and that player. He is the world's most famous chief scout."

For more on Boothroyd's relationship with the rock star, and the manager's reflections on his three years in charge at Vicarage Road, don't miss this week's Watford Observer.

Is there any way possible that I could get an autographed picture of Sir Elton John, his music now days is rich with passion and loyality. I play some of his music and can feel the love in it, he is truely amazing and a great entertainer. Can you convey this message to him? Thank you.

Glad to hear Elton is kept up to date by our manager.

Hopefully Aidy will have fitted in a couple of more calls to premiership managers ensuring we get a boost for the last few games.

All i have read is than Sir Alex has told Ben he is staying put and AJ isnt going anywhere.

Well done to WBA for pulling Clement from Hull..might weaken them for saturday.

So when dowe find out who you have phoned and signed Aidy? other than of course Sir Elton.

Isn't it funny how old reg always seems to come out of the woodwork when there is a small scent of glory.

Now if he could persuade old Becks to come in on loan for the last few games then that would be a massive boost...you never know, stranger things have happened...Elton actually attended a match this season.

Cue sage.

P*** OFF Prof!

I would suspect Oz if someone has bought him a DIXONEREY.

Bizarre is it not?

Only Wizzard was related to me and
he is now banished.


Het Colin--do you & elton always make your annual pilgramage to the same game? only asking as I do not mix in the same circles as you & EJ.

Is that american for real?

Call him & find out JB? He left his numbers.....

I told him Elton was unavailable but would Colin do.

maybe Aidy should ring him he likes to chat on phone.

I wonder whether he chats to Elton about music and has a career change in mind...or whether he reports to our life president on footballing matters.

Not sure i would be happy as a plc to have a manager reporting to an ex-owner but then we dont always seem to follow convention.

Do they use Al Banghura's phone? I believe it is amazing!

Chris he is not "reporting" in the business sense-clearly he reports to Mark ashton/Graham Simpson.

lets not look for molehills that we can make into the himalayas.
