#WatfordFC are in the Championship trying to deal with a Premier League wage bill. During an unprecedented era that includes no gate receipts & an almost impossibly uncertain financial and economic situation. Striking a balance between success and stability has never been harder.
In terms of transfers, the club has to make affordable and attainable signings (two key words) in the hope that they can help achieve the goal of success (promotion) without risking future stability, so #watfordfc has a solid future, regardless of how this season pans out.
It wasn’t long ago that there was a real possibility of #watfordfc going bust. This pandemic will see countless clubs up against it in the fight for survival. Ensuring our club is one that comes out the other end is of paramount importance and can’t be understated.
That doesn’t mean the focus can’t be on success to, and against a tumultuous backdrop #watfordfc are still very much in touch at the top of the table. Promotion will of course be tough, but it is absolutely achievable.
Being critical is fine. It’s important. It’s part of a supporters job to hold owners accountable and to want the very best for our club. But choosing to criticise a signing that hasn’t pulled on the yellow shirt yet feels short sighted, under the circumstances. #watfordfc
This season is a plate spinning exercise for most clubs. No income, high costs & an uncertain future. This is exacerbated for clubs like #watfordfc who were relegated from the EPL. Be critical, sure, but to do so without recognising the circumstances doesn’t feel sensible.
