He sounds well experienced - could prove to be a shrewd appointment. https://trainingground.guru/articles/garcia-appointed-head-of-performance-at-watford
Why would Scott Parker leave Fulham for Bournemouth? Apart from money of course. Surely Fulham is the bigger and better club. That said, he suits Bournemouth I think, in fact he is nearly a clone of Howe!
Domingos Quina is back - looking for a fresh start. https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/19406300.domingos-quina-looking-fresh-start-watford/
Could be like a fresh signing. Always liked him, though appreciate that he's not quite been up to the mark with just flashes of brilliance. He knows more is required.
Deeney's either had lippo or is looking trimmer in some recent pics of those training again. He'll be up to 5mph from 3 now at full pelt! please log in to view this image
Ignacio Pussetto has extended his loan spell at Udinese and will remain with the Serie A side for the 2021/22 campaign.
Financial report for last year out - https://www.watfordfc.com/storage/40495/2020-Financial-Report.pdf I guess the one for last season will be more indicative though with the loss of Prem money... Promotion was very much needed, otherwise would have been quite a few sales this summer!

I find it a bit strange that our outgoings on wages and salaries went up despite COVID and relegation. Is that actually just a hangover of increases in salaries during the 2019/2020 season relative to the 2018/19 season and the fact they don't line up with our financial years? I would have thought we would have saved on salaries given the players that left, any clauses in some contracts allowing a reduction in salary after relegation, and less matchday staff.
Wasn't this was for the year we got relegated - meaning it still included the players who later left? Any savings in salaries would be reflected in the next set of figures?
