Watford's board pretty much resigned last night and shares have been suspended. Another club to hit the dust....

I would've thought that Sir Elton would have had more than enough cash to spare to bail them out?

Didnt he relinquish his position of lifetime president because he fell out witht the board?

I doubt any Watford fans are in a panic. Elton John will come along, call them all silly boys then write them a big fat cheque in exchange for a peep hole in the shower room - his annual florist bill is more than it will cost him to bail them out.

as far as I remember it was Robinson that screwed us over not Watford?

...although giving us Moses Ashikodi on loan wasnt great!

I can't remember ever having been to Watford so I look forward to my visit next season.

Assuming we don't go up of course Smiley

They had apparently agreed a fee and promised not to sell him to anyone else. And then did, presumably the player pushed for it too.

I see that Russo wants his cash back quickly and has rejected the option of waiting a month while they do a rights issue.

There must be more to this though with him demanding his loan back, I suspect he wants full control of the club and will buy them back once they go into admin as he is likely to be biggest creditor
