The Owners

[Clampy]

They have spent hundreds of millions in the 18 months they've owned the club and you aren't convinced?

Is simply spending money enough, or would you want to see some evidence that they know what they're doing as well?  Even Xia outspent most other clubs at our level when he first arrived.  I'm not remotely comparing the two regimes, but we do need to see a response from the owners this January.  If not in a managerial replacement, then at least in some acquisitions to give him a chance.

It's not just money on the pitch they have pumped in, it's off it as well and it's been quite a lot. It's something that's easily forgotten.

If they make the changes to keep us in the Premier league and invest in players and a manager capable of beating teams like Southampton at home I'll be convinced

'Teams like Southampton'? They are in their eighth consecutive year in the Premier League. Last year we were the fifth best team in the Championship after three seasons down there. Prior to that we spent five years struggling in the Premier League, the 'high point' of those years being two consecutive fifteenth place finishes. I really don't think we should be looking down our noses at 'teams like Southampton' after the way we have  performed for the majority of the last eight years.

We should be beating them up if we want to stay up though.

They should hand Poch a £12m p/a 5 year deal so I can nurse a semi for half a decade.

Yep

[Flin5tone]

Watford have addressed their problem and will now stay up amazing what a new manager brings.

Bottom 3 Southampton at home and the Manor of the defeat is simply unacceptable.

The owners can change all this and keep us a Premier league club.

They win one game under Nigel Pearson and they're now fixed?

I’d be hard for weeks. Maybe he could buy into the ‘project’

We can only go by what they've done so far and complaining about any of it is fucking ridiculous.

We will see come the end of the season

Watford with a very good Deeney and a solid manager will stay in this league, they're far too good to go down

Not pissed no, I don't drink

[hilts_coolerking]

I have no doubt they're serious and even though some of our signings haven't worked out (so far) they've put their hands in their pockets a lot.  But as we know better than most, good intentions don't necessarily translate into sound decision-making.  If things don't pick up soon - by which I mean instantly - they've got a very big decision to make.

Excellent. A couple of Pearson, Deeney types at Villa Park, and at least they'll get the recognition of being serious owners from you. Phew!

I was only thinking this morning, with Watford on 9 points that they were waaaaay too good to do gown.
