Will Watford mad Elton come to the rescue...Again?

The gutter dwelling economy appears to have finally caught up with football. Broke ass Tuesday  brought the news of several struggling clubs, including Watford. 3 of the teams board members resigned at the annual general meeting last night and as they headed out the door they called in their loan to the club as they strolled away from Vicarage road.

The Russo brothers, Jimmy and Vince, lent the Hornets 4.8 million smackers via their company ‘Valley Grown’ salads and now the brothers want that cash back by TODAY. Valley Grown loaned Watford 1 million last month to cover the wages.

The Russo’s can’t be stupid enough to think that Watford have that money, they have been overseeing the books and the finances have been ropey for quite a while.

 Watford definitely don’t have the cash and now risk going into administration. If they do so the club will be docked 10 points, undoing manager Malky Mackay’s good work this season, handing him a ticket to a relegation fight.

Former owner and honorary life President, crooner and collector of the most garish sunglasses available on planet Earth, Elton John, has yet to comment but will the famous ivory tinkling pop star allow the club to hit rock bottom? He has been here before but is he willing to help out again? The singer resigned from his position as ‘Honorary President’ last year, demanding to know “where the money has gone”. Since relegation from the Premier League in 07, Watford have sold 21 million quids worth of talent including Ashley Young to Aston Villa for nearly 10 million pounds.

Fans will have been stunned today to wake up and learn of last nights events, that 3 of the guys in charge can show absolutely no loyalty or love for the club after being so heavily involved and be fundamental in its faltering status.

A sad day for Watford indeed. I’ll leave this one with the tearful tones on Mr. John himself as he ponders sacrificing some more of his cash.
