Yorkie Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Will Watford have a squad to actually compete in the Premier League? Don't suppose any of these loanees will be staying on? Why wouldn't they? Chances are they'll get more of them of a higher standard with the attraction of top flight football. I'm a bit sketchy on the rules. I thought one of the loopholes - that has enabled their dodgy squad - was something to do with the fact they're not in the Premier League? You're allowed unlimited foreign loans in both the Championship and Premier League, as they're classed as full transfers. Aye, seen your last post. What a load of rubbish, man. It's like they forgot to finish that chapter of the rulebook, or something. So legally you could pick an entire squad of 18 and none of them actually be your players. I kinda hope Watford go up cos it will prompt a (long overdue) review of the loan rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 We did that once...scored from the oppositions penalty I mean.. Eater Monday 1984 at home to Carlisle.... Wasnt in the last minute. though and we did win 5-0 so I spose the circumstances were different 5-1 wasn't it? Kevin Carr double save (like Almunia's) then Keegan header (which was a bit dodgy as he was leaning on the defender a bit) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udinese and Granada are both small, provincial clubs like Watford and they have benefited massively from the ownership - chances are Watford will do too. Can see why the Pozzos wanted an English club, relatively easy to get a team up by lending/giving them all the players and then you've got a huge financial windfall from getting there.

Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hasn't it already been confirmed they'll review the rules this August? Pretty sure it was. Anyway that was never a peno and Watford deserved to win. Justice done in the end I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukeboxromeo Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Watford have got a transfer embargo which will last till the end of the transfer window. Not sure it will affect things much though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21829894 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
