the debts were not becuase we got relegated from the prem we had debts before we got promoted to the prem it was the ITV digital that gave us these bad finances this is the same narrator who dsaid we got relegated in 1995 lol
True,the ITV Digital fiasco didn't help,either,plunging a host of Football League clubs into serious trouble that amounted to potential existential danger. One thing always amazed me about that episode: did all 72 chairpeople at these clubs allow themselves to be blinded by pound signs in the eyes or did any of them sense something that didn't add up about that contract?
Another factual inaccuracy spotted very quickly,I hate to break it to you. Watford actually left the Premier League in 2000 in excellent financial shape - the joint-most-solvent club of all 92 with a pre-Glazer era Manchester United by some yardsticks. It was the Vialli punt in 2001-02 that left the club broke and on the verge of administration as they posted a loss of £10million for that year. Nevertheless,RIP the Gentleman of Cremona.
A nice shot at 20 seconds of our original group of 60 seats all together
Yess I’ve been waiting for this one!!
The video should have been longer to cover more of the developments over the 2 decades, but still a good watch.
Still standing after all this time
You bet.
