Fans asked Pozzo and Duxbury if they’ve taken a close enough look at internal failings at watfordfc
I recognise that, and as supporters we all recognise that. We’ve seen it. We’ve been to Wembley. We’ve seen Vicarage Road. We do recognise that and we appreciate it. But are there signs of change Gino? I heard you say ‘this manager’s the wrong fit’ . . . ‘this manager’s the wrong fit’. If repeated managers can’t get a tune out of the players that the senior team have put together, isn’t there a case of ‘it’s not them, it’s us’? I don’t see any evidence that we’re turning this around.
“Maybe that’s what we have to look at, to have that positive personality that also brings something to the team on the pitch, and there has been a disalignment. Over the last years we have had players on very high wages who unfortunately have contributed in the past but were now not able to contribute much. That was limiting the ability of doing what were supposed to do. Now I think the situation is better in that sense.
GP: “The fact that I don’t sit on the board as Chief Operating Officer or Executive Manager, all of them has a certain responsibility and I believe it is important that each person at the club has a clear responsibility. Me being there puts me in that certain position, and who’s going to judge me? “We’re looking at the financial position of the club, and without going into too many details the club is in a fantastic position right now. We will be debt-free at the end of this season and the plan to repay the debt is in place, the money is already there. That’s why we had to make sacrifices, we had to sell important players, to improve the financial position of the club.
“This is our position: I have no interest in working with a particular agent. There is no added value there. But there is added value in the football team to have certain relations. And you have better relations with some than with others. Really there is nothing else but advantage to the club, and that’s all that counts.”
“If you look this up we have many agents that we work with, both at this club and at Udinese. Then in football over time, we’ve been involved many years, you tend to build some relationships with some agents that you feel will help you doing the deals for the club more than others.
