Deeney, Heaton and McGinn futures unknown (From Watford Observer)

Becoming as farcical as Bas during one of his menopausal periods!

Looks like the players and fans want to know what's going on, come on Pozzo's sort it out! Cue Alex and a intellectual response NOT!

thought you`d enjoy that :)

I think it's time to face the fans and get them on your side.

Good one

The news is that after a week there is still no news.

Unless you count whats being told to the Italian press.

This is getting ridiculous it's been a week and all we've had is a generic statement that, quite frankly, means nothing.

It isn't difficult to come out and say what's going on. Even if Zola doesn't get the job, Dyche's position is untenable now anyway as they clearly don't want him.

Imagine the uproar if this was Bassini...

This is a 'we haven't got anything to print, so we'll put a different spin on already known info' story.

For goodness sake - these guys are in for ten years - give them a break - let them sort the detail - i suspect that the money is still in escrow given the fit and proper person test that the league have to apply - they have all the players we need in waiting - just give them time to complete the deal - just because we are fans does not mean that we have a right to monitor the progress of the deal by the hour

Watford should make statement even into the effect of we are speaking with the current management team and will announce any changes within the near future. We will access the playing staff asap and make changes if required.
Instead we get nothing...bring back bassini !!!! lol pmsl

Ok, as a plan to stop people over thinking the lack of Pozzo PR at the moment. (By the way i am a newbie to posting on the WO news feeds). Realistically where do we all see the club finishing this coming season?

For myself i see a playoff place, but that's on the basis of keep Maps and Eustace stays fit and in form. With a reasonable loan striker coming in. Opinions?

They would look bloody stupid without us!!! Besides knowing who your manager is and what is going on as a current situation update is not too much to ask for, is it?

Depends who the manager is!

Great News ... just appeared on official web site ... Lloyd's game with spurs is on a Sunday ... and they are mowing the grass at the vic ... so all our worries are over ...

With reference to an earlier posting, I think Bassini experiencing a 'menopausal period' represents an oxymoron. As opposed to an Oxhey Moron, that is. Or even a Stanmoron.

McGinn is probably now wishing he hadn't stalled over signing and Deeney isn't in a rush to know, hardly going to be plying his trade elsewhere any time soon (other than the Parkhurst X1).

I think that we all have to get behind the manager whomever it may be and we need the fans and players to get behind the club instead of just moaning about it if we do keep our better players maybe get another winger and striker and most certainly a keeper we will be right up there come the end of the season

All will be revealed soon .As rational business people there must be good reasons why full information has not been supplied .Whether legal reasons negotiations whatever .Patience

The old regime keeps quiet and is criticised.

The new regime keeps quiet and the request from the poison pens is for patience.

Surely the new regime should be everywhere getting a message out. We might not believe or like what they have to tell, but they should be talking and talking a lot.

As someone who lost £100k I invested in Watford just before Luca's disasterous season in charge may I make a few gentle comments? Firstly if you buy a club for a lot of money you are entitled to choose who to put in charge but be awareof the nature of the Championship. To be successful in the Championship club needs technical and tactical staff who understand the challenges. Is Luca ready for that challenge? Does he KNOW the Championship? Luca never got to grips with it. Loads of money was spent and the team went backwards.

For many years Watford was seen as a club that communicated well with the fans but of late communications have become worse and worse. This needs rapid improvement.

Many Watford fans are concerned about the involvement of Nani and Duxbury. There is a lot of bad feeling at West Ham about the players they brought in, the advice they gave and the disasters that followed.There are excellent staff members at Watford who are trusted and have delivered. Let us not lose them all.In short my advice is implement change thoughtfully, make a careful transition and don't throw the baby out with the bath water


Watford supporters are a loyal group in general and at the very least fans and players would expect a manager who had done well for the club to

You cant announce changes until they are agreed. Take your time guys and make the right decisions for the Club.

I bought my first box of Happy Eggs in Sainsburys. More news and reaction on that in a few days time when I eat them

For goodness sake why dont most of you join the real world.

Putting aside my opinion about the demise of Sean.

We obviously, as a club, should not sign players without the opinion of the new manager.

Heaton i feel sorry for.

Mcginn didnt resign when he could have done, now Cardiff do not want him he wants us. Tough Stephen you had a chance to do the right thing, you did not, now you must wait and see.

As for Troy why does the club need to make a decision until he comes near to being released. As far as I can see an early decision would only help Troy and his levels of consideration extended to kicking a defenceless student in the head so let him rot pondering what he has done and the implications of the bully boys red mist on his life, the life of his family and the victim.

So let the new owners confirm a manager and then let him and his team shape WFC for next year. our job is to support the club and theirs is to run the team. if after a few months we dont like what we see then we should complain. When Sean took over I reckon over 50% of people on this site wanted him out before being prepared to give him a chance.

Learn from your mistakes. As for announcements...let them get on with it and we will judge them by their actions.

'Keep Eustace fit' thats a laugh, cant see him even getting a kick once Zola sees one of his aimless hoofs out of play, under pressure. Not quite the type of play he'll be looking for me thinks.
You've got to start thinking total football Ha Ha

I would've thought a decision needs to be made about Troy when he fails to turn up for pre-season training because at that point he's in breach of his contract, unless there's a clause in there that anticipated such an eventuality.

doubtful - if that were the case they wouldn't have been able to appoint the new chairman.

Very true, but it cost's nothing to put a 2 liner together reassuring fans that things are progressing well, all we have had at present is contempt.

eh? why should we pay deeney to be in prison then fire him just before he gets released?

In the time it's taken since my last post I have composed this.

Dear Watford fans, I brought your club from Baz as you all know by my Italian press release, At the moment I want to ditch that good fellow Dyche and install my Italian ice cream maker Mr Zola, All players will be notified if we're gonna keep them next week, if they come back fat they're gonnas, Caio Pozzi to my mates.

Now that rubbish took 3 minutes so what is the excuse for not communicating.

Did you know, Gary, that you may be able to claim a tax refund on the loss on your Watford Leisure PLC shares when Mr B bought the company last year? (This is possible for many other shareholders). I am a tax accountant in the Bristol area. I have made a tax reclaim on the loss on my shares !

Just got this through on the Watford e-newsletter - looks like it is in the Whos Who section

Chairman - Raffaele Riva
Exec Directors - Duxbury and Nani
Non Exec Directors - Fransen and Timperley

Has anyone tried to get on to Watfordfc website as it keeps erroring for me?

I had some last week and they were very tasty with a nice Watford yellow yolk.
