We have hooked the big fish

[North North Watford]

I also think we've hooked the right fish. Money behind them, the right vision for our club...

Agree with this. But...

... and patience. Change for the better takes time, I'm sure the Pozzos understand that and hopefully the fans can look 4 or 5 years ahead, not 1.

Structurally I'm nigh-on certain that they're going to do the right things, but my impression is that they also expect us to immediately become serious promotion contenders. Otherwise why fire Dyche?

By firing him they have raised the short term expectations. In most fans' eyes, even those who realise that we could do all the right things yet still take years to win promotion, Zola will be considered to have failed this season if he doesn't match or better Dyche's record in 2011/12.

We have hooked the big fish. That’s the way I see this, in getting the Pozzo’s to buy the club.

Duxbury and Nani were instrumental in introducing the Pozzo’s to our club, so we have a lot to thank these guys for.

After the shock of Dyche, I think people will see the Pozzo’s are passionate football people with the ability to bring real success to the club.

Gone are the days of administration fears, no more debts, stadium redevelopment and the real chance of seeing a team capable of promotion.

Investment into the academy is also assured. Isn’t that what all of us really wants for the club?

With the absence of a billionaire Watford supporter, these are probably the best possible owners we could ever have dreamed of.

Their opening statement is an inspiration and I love what they have to say, within realistic boundaries.

We can now all start dreaming…..

Well said, can't really add anything to it. Feel sorry for Sean, but in some ways i'm glad they made a quick decision rather than giving him 3 months waiting for him to fail. This way the new manager (Zola?) will have the summer to gel what will probably be a very different starting 11 to the one that finished last year

The trouble with a lot of topics on this forum is they run the risk of being polarised. Everything has to be either black or white..good or bad. There can be no middle ground. But sometimes..in fact, often.. the truth is usually somewhere in between.

No doubt along the way the new owners will make a few mistakes. The 'Dyche affair' might maybe have been handled better. But overall, the future looks really bright. The future's giallo

.... Be nice if there are some decent attendences and attractive, winning football. Chuck in a new shiny east stand and you're laughing.

Seems only yesterday the biggest excitement round here was a pub re-opening

Nice post mate

Waiting to see what players they bring into the club, then I will make a prediction on where we will finish. Big fish and the right fish as has already been said but also clever fish.

I totally agree.

I would have liked to have seen Dyche get a chance as he deserves it after last season. But I am over the moon that we now seem to have the right owner which should hopefully secure our future at the least.
