    Nice of you to think I am so young!..... but no.... my first games were on the cinder bank at the side of the rookery....

    That was a great team of players..... A good era in the history of the club
    i agree if I were not a Watford supporter.. I would be very wary of the Pozzos...

    Well it's true most outsiders do think they are nothing but sacking merchants and I don't blame them.

    They seem to have done well off the pitch though but on the field it has slipped somewhat.

    they are monetising football , profit is main objective , that’s as plain as your nose , no doubt certain people will support that position , but football clubs are not just businesses, they’re community hubs , we need to adopt the german model , 51% fan owned ....to prevent all the shenanigans that exist here , the english football leagues are riddled with who’s who of the money laundering world ........

    Maybe Cologne can help out here? I understand RB Leipzig are reviled as they get corporate corporate money? Remembering black in the day when the big East European teams "sponsored" by the army, police, civil service... the "profit" being hubris I suppose!

    As the song goes: ...the holy dollar rules everybody's lives; Gotta make a million, it doesn't matter who dies..."
    Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime. Arguably the best concept album of any genre, regardless of whether one likes hard rock or not.
