keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 26, 2020 I think we should start a protest group in support of footballers being rude about illegitimate children. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted July 26, 2020 Bit dumb of the journo to suggest he might be retiring from football completely seeing as he's only just turned 32! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted July 26, 2020 His interview suggests he might be leaving Watford now. That would be good news, that club looks to be in pretty desperate shape and losing a leader such as him would compound issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pozzi family also own Granada (who have just qualified for the Europa League) and Udinese. Not sure how their fortune has been affected by the coronavirus, but even if they're still doing well I doubt they'll invest a huge amount in trying to get Watford back up. More likely we'll see one or two of their better players going to Granada... and I'm sure there will be suitors for Doucoure and Sarr from bigger clubs than those (Sarr already being linked with Liverpool). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pozzos sold Granada 4 years ago. Rumours from my WFC supporting friends are that they may be selling WFC-2 prospective owners have been mentioned-1 is “well known to the Premier League” and the other is “someone who you would never want to be associated with your club”. Both of those could be Mike Ashley! Oh, and Pearson was sacked for something he said after the West Ham game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More instability at Watford can only play into our hands next season, as they do have a very strong squad on paper. Would love to know what Pearson said... he's not exactly a natural diplomat! 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watford fans seem to want to see the back of him as it means the end of the "lump it to Deeney" football that they've seen this season, and say that he's not mobile enough to play the lone striker role. Can tell they've not been in the Championship for a long time as that would make a good plan B. I wonder whether West Brom would be interested perhaps? He's from Brum.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 26, 2020 would take Deeney at Norwich all day long (as long as the operation isn't too serious). We need a lump it to xxx option and Deeney is the sort of character that we lack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both of those could be Mike Ashley! The way that Mike Ashley runs a club and his level of ambition might be better suited to Watford though. Newcastle are without a doubt a huge club, with a stadium suited to European football, have had some quality teams in recent years. The level of expectation is very high. Other than stick Wonga all over their shirts what has Mike Ashley done that is so bad? Cleared their debts, they are in the Premier League etc. I think he gets an unfairly bad rap. Deserves a little for some of his non-football business, working conditions etc, but I don't think he's the devil reincarnate and this is definitely exaggerated while some much worse high profile people get a free pass. Always felt it was a bit distasteful how Mike Ashley would get held up as the example of everything wrong with capitalism by the UK media when there are so many much worse examples. He's not Philip Green robbing pensions, living in a tax haven and paying his wife £1bn to avoid tax, and allegedly being a massive bully to employees particularly young females. Unlike most billionaires I believe Ashley hasn't made himself non-domicile. So if you end up in an ICU ward next month with coronavirus, Mike Ashley is happily contributing to your care but Richard Branson and Philip Green are not. Meanwhile everybody seems to think the sun shines out of Bransons backside (at least, they did until earlier this year). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's from brum so he'd probably welcome a West Brom or Villa move? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
