Deeney returns following his release from prison (From Watford Observer)

Derry and and Dyer under 21? more like under 121....

Would have thought Deeney had had enough of playing behind closed doors ...

Guess a few scouts were there to sign up the surplus?

Good to see Chalobah getting more game time

Wow, that Watford team should have beaten QPR. Hope that Chalobah starts on Sat.

Good to see some 16 year olds on bench

Wonder if we were having a look at Cambell?

just heard from a very reliable source that last week gianluca nanni phoned Cardiff and offered them all of the scholars and young pros in our academy :( a truly sad day, not sure i want to watch my team anymore. the academy is now going to be closed.

Harefield gone!

what next for us. in 2 and half months we lost our respectible football director. gone ! then our corporate director, gone! then manager and all the coaches.gone! our catering staff. gone! Marketing manager.gone!.
these are all the people that made our club a family club. bet no one is worried about the children on a match day without leigh brooks. no face painters,no marching bands, no good causes.

the heart and soul of our family club has been ripped out all in the name of results on the pitch and the premier league.rubbish i say . we are sacrificing jobs and the spirit of our club and the results are not even there. what hapens when the results don't come. what is left then. NOTHING!

all the happy clappers should look at the bigger picture. no one is interested in us anymore. its about money and the premier league. I bet all the prices go up dramtically next year.

sorry about the rant but i feel so so sad :(

have we really got a sub called "schnezel" ?? fantastic.

My sources tell me Zola is at Harefield tomorrow Meeting not just the scholars but the post 16 development squad.

I also hear that we might get a new ground within 5 years, 25000 purpose built with ability to extend

Pozzo looking into this

They thinking long term

did a little digging, the pozzo's took over a club in holland 10 years ago. The Project cos thats what we are, failed and they left the club in disarray.

its hard to go back if it fails. if we dont get in the premier league i suspect they will leave. then what.
promises and words mean nothing. i have not seen any movement in the south west corner.
you are all blind to whats going on. its all cheap PR and you are all lapping it up like idiots

I can see the redevelopment as a likely event. The ground will be worth more as housing, and with the club relocatted within the Health Campus on the old power sation site or further 'afield'.

De Graafschap "project" failed because pozzo's brought in loads of italian players who did not fit into the dutch system. it caused arguments between the players. sounds familiar.?

y would we have been in admin under baz, granted he was shocking at times, where is the proof other than posts on this site. i haven't seen a shred of factual evidence anywhere. surely timperley and co would have said something. actually their silence is deafening.

it was the russo's and the other billionnaire idiots who nearly put the club in admin. they all had loads of money but didn't want to spend it on us. they did nothing to the stadium , neglected it for years, spent shed loads on vialli and co, bought a crap pub and mismanaged everythig.

if it wasn't for julian winter there would not be a club. Baz stopped the club from going into admin when no one wanted it and sold it for a profit. sounds like good business to me.

you lot should wake up and smell the coffee.

I can smell something.. For sure... It certainly isn't coffee....

Deeney back playing again has to be a honus after suffering 75 minutes of Iwelumo huffing and puffing across the pitch and going nowhere last night. I thought we played some great football but the the peneration in the final third was dire. We all know big Chris is well past the sell by date and at best is an impact sub. As for Vydra he showed some great touches but can't do it all on his own . What was the point of bringing Beleck on with 12 minutes to go when we're 1-0 down? He should have been on at half time. If Zola can find a half decent striker amongst the squad of 42 we could be dangerous and soon marching up the league. On the positive side Forestieri looks a great find and showed some passion and desire that hasn't been seen since the days of Mooney.

So , Premiership in 3 years , new ground within 5 years ..anything else..Champions league winners or maybe even the World Club Championship in 6 years. Christ just saw a pig fly.

Paul , the great thing about this "debate" is that if people have an opinion that doesn't seem to fit in with others , they are slagged off or sarcastically put down..
Paul , you talk about "sources" and seem to have them "All over the World" , but they are obviously different people to the ones I speak to.
Paul , I know you use the hospitality etc , but it is a concern when we ..the normal fan....have to dish out money ( expensive money) to watch a game and that the catering prices going up , makes a difference. It may not make a difference to a bloke who 's got plenty of money ,like you , but to familys and young kids it does. OK. A couple of weeks ago you moaned about the fact it cost £170 to get you and two kids to Derby etc.
I'm not jumping over hoops just because " the Pozzo's saved the club". ..the club wouldn't have gone under totally ......but like any other takeover , new ownership etc..esp from a different culture there will be changes. That doesn't mean they will be all good. That doesn't mean the two running this club now are good for Watford. There are a lot of people unhappy , including supporters and THEY are entitled to an opinion .Not to be sarcastically put down or abused. Remember there are good people at Watford and they are at meeting trying to steer the new people into doing things the riht way for Watford. I suggest you come to a few more away games ( as you said you're a true supporter and support the tougher games ( ie Bolton away ) instead of swanning off to QPR v Chelsea. At least then you can judge whats happening to the team without resulting in hearsay of"sources". Just remember Mr.Holden , that people know people in the game , including me , and many thngs ( no doubt good and bad) are going on ..but one or two things are happening quietly , which have puzzled people from other clubs and are concerned. The debate on this club shouldn't be either one of total excitement , or of total gloom ,just somewhere in between and see where it goes. Its like school playtime on this page . BTW..childish remarks about certain ex players / managers/ the present so called " inferior" present players is just that childish. The fact is over the last few years EVEYONE has helped to keep this club in the championship ..despite having NO money , no resource..they've worked hard .Without them , we would have gone down and this little POZZO dream team would not have happened. History is important at any club and they are part of it. So respect where it's due. I'm sure as you have an important position at your company , you wouldn't start name slagging childishly at everyone that held your position previously. Anyway , . I expect to see you at Huddersfield perhaps.....or are the Fulham , Arsenal games that day more important. COYH. Good win on Saturday , and at least the on field issues will look better.

De Graafschap "project" failed because pozzo's brought in loads of italian players who did not fit into the dutch system. it caused arguments between the players. sounds familiar.? y would we have been in admin under baz, granted he was shocking at times, where is the proof other than posts on this site. i haven't seen a shred of factual evidence anywhere. surely timperley and co would have said something. actually their silence is deafening. it was the russo's and the other billionnaire idiots who nearly put the club in admin. they all had loads of money but didn't want to spend it on us. they did nothing to the stadium , neglected it for years, spent shed loads on vialli and co, bought a crap pub and mismanaged everythig. if it wasn't for julian winter there would not be a club. Baz stopped the club from going into admin when no one wanted it and sold it for a profit. sounds like good business to me. you lot should wake up and smell the coffee.

You're going to have to tell us where you found this as I just Googled "de graafschap"and "Pozzo" in the same search and the only page where the two were linked was on this page. Even Google's picked up on your whingeing.

i was told from a very good dutch friend who lnow lives here

van de ****

obviously speaks double Dutch, that Pozzo takeover never happened, it's not anywhere. What a weak attempt to discredit those who saved our club from administration.
Syrupy su tells whoppers too!

did a little digging, the pozzo's took over a club in holland 10 years ago. The Project cos thats what we are, failed and they left the club in disarray. its hard to go back if it fails. if we dont get in the premier league i suspect they will leave. then what. promises and words mean nothing. i have not seen any movement in the south west corner. you are all blind to whats going on. its all cheap PR and you are all lapping it up like idiots

Buggar off to Cardiff with your mates Mcpie and Mcstow and Mcspringham and Mckerslake and co .... Nano ringing up Cardiff and offering all our scholars LOL LOL LOL No doubt Cardiff's wonderful new global scouting network (holidays for the Mcscouts) will expand outside of Berkhamstead and West London sooooooon !

do you not care that the boys who have been dreaming of playing for us will have thei dreams shattered. i don't get it.

Sounds like one of the rejects bitter mum's to me, go cry somewhere else bittersu

So , Premiership in 3 years , new ground within 5 years ..anything else..Champions league winners or maybe even the World Club Championship in 6 years. Christ just saw a pig fly. Still , in the real world I notice all the catering prices have gone up .....and reports are the food is crap.

Mark, your so miserable - cheer up :-)

Paul , the great thing about this "debate" is that if people have an opinion that doesn't seem to fit in with others , they are slagged off or sarcastically put down..
Paul , you talk about "sources" and seem to have them "All over the World" , but they are obviously different people to the ones I speak to.
Paul , I know you use the hospitality etc , but it is a concern when we ..the normal fan....have to dish out money ( expensive money) to watch a game and that the catering prices going up , makes a difference. It may not make a difference to a bloke who 's got plenty of money ,like you , but to familys and young kids it does. OK. A couple of weeks ago you moaned about the fact it cost £170 to get you and two kids to Derby etc.
I'm not jumping over hoops just because " the Pozzo's saved the club". ..the club wouldn't have gone under totally ......but like any other takeover , new ownership etc..esp from a different culture there will be changes. That doesn't mean they will be all good. That doesn't mean the two running this club now are good for Watford. There are a lot of people unhappy , including supporters and THEY are entitled to an opinion .Not to be sarcastically put down or abused. Remember there are good people at Watford and they are at meeting trying to steer the new people into doing things the riht way for Watford. I suggest you come to a few more away games ( as you said you're a true supporter and support the tougher games ( ie Bolton away ) instead of swanning off to QPR v Chelsea. At least then you can judge whats happening to the team without resulting in hearsay of"sources". Just remember Mr.Holden , that people know people in the game , including me , and many thngs ( no doubt good and bad) are going on ..but one or two things are happening quietly , which have puzzled people from other clubs and are concerned. The debate on this club shouldn't be either one of total excitement , or of total gloom ,just somewhere in between and see where it goes. Its like school playtime on this page . BTW..childish remarks about certain ex players / managers/ the present so called " inferior" present players is just that childish. The fact is over the last few years EVEYONE has helped to keep this club in the championship ..despite having NO money , no resource..they've worked hard .Without them , we would have gone down and this little POZZO dream team would not have happened. History is important at any club and they are part of it. So respect where it's due. I'm sure as you have an important position at your company , you wouldn't start name slagging childishly at everyone that held your position previously. Anyway , . I expect to see you at Huddersfield perhaps.....or are the Fulham , Arsenal games that day more important. COYH. Good win on Saturday , and at least the on field issues will look better.

BlImey, that's a long post, must've hit a nerve LOL

every post lately from you Mr Giles has negative undertones

It seems you don't like change :-)

I admire you for travelling to all the away games, it becomes a religion, it is an expensive day out, and time consuming.

I love football, I love Watford (40 years), Wealdstone (on and off 35 years), England (40 years), then quality football of any kind.

I attend at least 4 matches minim a week in person from youth matches to international, plus at least 4 a week on TV ....

So I am a true football fan !

My beloved club was being run into the ground by clown Baz, luckily not now

So do I care if 20p been added to a cup of tea in order that we have players of quality to watch, you don't have to buy it !

Let's embrace change and smile smile smile

Well Mr Holden , I do embrace change , but not all change is necessarily good or without problems. I 'm happy that the club appears to have no money worries now. I like some of the football that is being played ( although at this stage it's not winning matches).There are things I've disagreed with so far , too many loans, Zola's tactics , catering going up ,quality / fitness of players , Taylor's departure and a few other things...and I have reservations on the future, and there's no crime in any of that . So yes I am also informed ,as they say , and have my "sources" as you would say . So whilst you embrace unreservedly as though you've won the lottery ,and are "gushing " with the attitude that everything is fantastic I will follow at a slower pace like quite a lot of other fans are. I too have seen , and played , and refereed , and got to know a lot of football people over the years ( and I'm older than you ) so don't take the p*ss out of someone else's opinions...whether that be me or someone else on the subject of Watford FC.Everybody wants the same thing , a winning team , decent football , and a good affordable experience on a Saturday PM. I'm pleased that you have got the time and money to watch 4 games a week plus another 4 on TV. Your job obviously gives you that luxury, with your position at the top of your company. But football is about opinions and whilst I don't make sarcastic comments and try to belittle what you think , I trust you will stop doing that to me and others that take the time to write how they feel too. I'm pleased that you watched Watford and England when you were 4 years old ..unfortunately , I didn't get to start until a bit later as I struggled to stand on the terracing at that age :) There's nothing wrong with healthy discussion , but your attitude is of "I'm right , you shouldn't have an opinion cos I have sources". Now lets stop this and get on with supporting THE CLUB in a balanced way.Thank you kind sir !!! :-)
