Statement on Deeney expected today (From Watford Observer)

Wow! What a surprise that is. Didn't see that one coming......#old news.

The club arent going to do the right thing.

Imagine the senario, TD scores the goal in the last game of the season that confirms our automatic promotion. What a quandary that is for fans who think he should be sacked.

Im happy to keep him as i think he will fit in...so all you yogurt knitters out there keep your fingers where they belong.

I note he will not be considered for the Bolton game.
I trust that the remainder of the squad with the exception of John Eustace can now be considered match fit and available.

I don't see any reason why the club shouldn't keep him. I don't think there was too much uproar when we signed Marlon and he became a legend in the time he was here. Troy has made a mistake, which he has admitted to and has served the time for it. He would end up at another club regardless so I for one would rather him stay at watford.

Nothing wrong with that scenario as far as I'm concerned. 1) He would have paid his price to society. 2) Trained hard enough and well enough for GZ to put him in the team and 3) Proved his worth by scoring the goal that you elude to above. No quandary there for me tony. None whatsoever. I'm a die-hard Watford fan and all those criteria above are fine. Whether TD is good enough to achieve numbers 2 and 3 above is another matter, however.

Outrageous! I'm going to crawl back under my duvet and read the Daily Mail and listen to some Des O'Connor. And I'm going to remind myself that we are a family club and that Elton John married a woman when the world was ok. And I'll take comfort from the fact that Vinnie Jones never played for Watford even though he was a fan, because just the sight of him in yellow and red would've given children sleepless nights. And them I'll pen my new song to the Sister Sledge classic "we are family, we don't need Troy Deeney". And then I'm going to fold my arms with deep satisfaction in the knowledge that when Jesus said whosoever is without sin cast ye the first stone, he was talking to people far worse than me.

This man is an animal. Utter scum. In any other profession he would have been dismissed. Some of the people on this forum would cheer Ian Huntley if he was wearing a Watford shirt. Can't wait to boo this low-life when he turns out for us again.

yes they are, keep him on and judge him by his football, he has already been judged for the crime and served his sentence so stop crying about it.

Watford will not say it now, but Deeney will train to get fit play a few games for the reserves and then be moved on for as much as they can get for him.
Not because of his crime, but because he is not good enough!

Not crying about anything. Some people are happy to accept him back, others arent. I was just putting it out there that if he stays - which seems to be the indication - that those of us who think he should have been sacked will be uncomfortable, obviously wanting to cheer on and back the team but not that individual.

As to having paid his price to society, he's for staters not done the full time he was sentenced to and there is a difference between serving time and paying a price. Interesting he only apologised publicly just before being released and I wonder if his victim has received any apology?

And we are allowed to have different opinions, not all of us want to be clones you know

I know that being top scorer last year doesn't automatically make you 'good enough', but he's a hell of a lot better than Scott Fitzgerald.

Either way, he'll know that this has damaged his chances of getting a contract anywhere else, so he knows he's got to perform here to either win us over or impress another manager elsewhere that he's worth the investment. In this instance, if you want to see him gone, it might be worth cheering him on to speed up the process!

"this man is an animal". The more I read from people like you, the more I like animals.

And to compare Deeney to a child murderer is very low.

Personally I don't think that 2 months inside is sufficient considering the crime Deeney committed. I also would prefer that Deeney leaves the club asap.

Why has this damaged Deeney's chances of getting a new club. Clubs lined up to sign on King who has a far worse criminal record and lots of clubs would still sign Joey Barton. For instance I am sure Millwall would be happy to take him on to partner Darius Henderson.

Scott Fitzgerald? Didn't know he was still at the club!

“I have apologised to the victim involved and I would also like to place on record my apology to the fans and players of Watford Football Club for letting them down with my indiscretion."
