Billionaire to invest in Watford ?

[ovechkin8]

Lakshmi Mittal one of the worlds wealthiest men has sent representatives to Vicarage Road (& the Hawthorns) with a view to investing millions .

In view of his finances both club s could expect to become solid Premiership members.

I don't really like the idea of changing the ethos of a community club where youngsters are brought throuigh the system & still have some sort of link to the fans.

Wonder what dear old Elton would have to say...

Elton is just a figurehead for the club now. He's wasted enough money on extravangances which he could have helped us more when needed but we're not complaining.

He did his bit. Negotiations are pending & with the unfortunate way football is going it looks like every club will need a rich benefactor to stay competitive.
