Interesting for the first time the WO mention Duxbury and Nani and not Zola, although I just can't see the Pozzo's sticking with Dyche.
Ive broken the news to our neighbours up the road. They are very happy for us, send their love etc One thing, they say they arent our rivals anymore, as one more eloquent member of the pack/troupe put it: "True , but they thought they was . Scummer , it's not only when you play eachother , it's more than that . Your a community child support group, helping kids learn how to clap , you not a real club, don't have real supporters , and ARE NOT OUR RIVALS ANYMORE !. Other clubs are , your ****."
Excellent spelling, punctuation and grammar. Who are their rivals now? Braintree Town? Ha ha ha! :biggrin:
I prefer my version, why change perfection? Hollywood get on it, I want The Yellow Order singing it at the first pre-season game.
Funny how they all laughed at us when it 'collapsed.' I think Dyche will be given a chance but under a lot more pressure.
I agree with JLuck. My understanding is Dyche will be manager next season and Zola will work on transfers between the Pozzo's 3 clubs. But then again I said the Titanic wouldn't sink.

My first post here - so hello all. Season ticket holder since 1980-81, first game at the Vic in 1969 v. Plymouth. Yeah, I'm old :biggrin: Hope the Pozzo's are good for us - it certainly seems like they will be. Never a dull moment at the Vic, eh? U'Orns!!!!
The Wobbly still seem convinced we will soon have a new manager... One of the downsides to #WatfordFC's takeover is we understand Sean Dyche will b replaced as manager by Gianfranco Zola
Also Bas was to sue sky sports for suggesting the non-payment of staff. Now this has been confirmed does he have a leg to stand on?
The order we get our news these days.. 1 Local newspaper feed on Twitter 2 Sky Sports News 3 (eventually) The official WFC site Shouldn't it be the OTHER way round?
Don't forget the Facebook page! They aren't just ITK, they are AITK. The A standing for 'ahead of', of course.
That Rio Ferdinand thinks England are sh!T.It's the Euro Report at the moment, all it says is Pozzo Family Complete Takeover of Watford on the yellow bar at the bottom.
Screenshot that! It's history. And I'm still on my way home and it'll probably be off there by the time I do.
Watford bought by SPV controlled by Pozzo family. SPV is a Special Purpose Vehicle - new company set up to buy club.
Great news, best thing to happen to the club since SEJ and GT, Prem return within 4 years and staying there i reckon.
I put a cheeky bet on us to win the league. Maybe its too soon but I reckon that 33-1 is the longest price we'll see Watford to win the Championship for a very long time!
The managerial plot thickens... Watford could miss out on managerial target Gianfranco Zola as Sampdoria look to lure the former West Ham boss back to Italy. The Championship club are on the verge of being taken over by the Pozzo family, who also own Serie A side Udinese and Spanish outfit Granada. Recent reports have claimed that the prospective owners will look to replace current manager Sean Dyche with their own man at Vicarage Road, with Zola suggested as a strong candidate. However, it looks as they will have to act fast to snap up the Chelsea legend as Sampdoria have lined up Zola as the man to fill their vacant managerial post.
To the tune of the Scum's favourite son's theme tune - Bring Me Sunshine Bring them Non League........ In the Blue Square Bring them FA Trophy........ Away at Ware In this world where Luton live........... Let them feel more unhappiness Bring them Tamworth, bring them Dartford, bring them Hyyyde!

..i got 66-1 the other day and lumped 20quid on... stupid? probably, but worth a punt! (i dont expect us to actually get near, but hey if we do i weigh in!)
Andrew Andronikou, who advised Watford on the sale, said: 'We are delighted to have ensured that Watford's immediate future is safe. 'The family have a proven track record of building successful teams on the field, and balancing the books off it.' He added: 'This transaction is a significant one, as it provides the Pozzo football dynasty with a secure platform to introduce its successful formula to the UK.'
I was just about to post re the involvement of Andrew Andronikou in advising Watford on the sale. From memory he is the administrator who tried to save Pompey (and possibly Plymouth?). If the threats that we'd go into administration if the deal didn't go through were unfounded, I'm intrigued as to his involvement. Please note I'm not for one moment suggesting anything was other than as we'd been told!
