From the original WSC article: "His outburst sparked a boardroom crisis at Watford, with Taylor now unlikely to continue as chair."

Does anyone know if he has actually stepped down?

Well he's just appeared on the start of Strictly Come Dancing.

Not his first appearance either I might add

Would love him as part of the club and to me he could do no wrong. His win percentage compared to the others in the England job wasn't bad either.

Met him at a Watford Dinner once(was working the bar) and he told me the attection he had for Villa and the fans.
When Watford came up the first time he kept the players on Championship wages with a bonus if they stayed up that way if they went down again(which they did) they wouldn't be left with a wage bill that was too high.

All round a good guy and a real football man

What a contrast to that great day at Goodison Park in 1990. I'll never forget that and I doubt Sir Graham will either.

21 years on and still one of by favourite ever Villa supporting experiences.

And mine.

Amen to all of that. An unforgettable day.
