WO- Jimmy Russo doesn't want to discredit Brendan Rodgers but questions move to Reading

Good stuff from Jimmy Salad on the Watford Obs website. Top notch too from GT. Exactly why we want him on the board.

I'm sure all those who moaned about the lack of comment approach are now eating large doses of humble pie.

Clearly someone had a word in BR's shell like over those 48 hours. An illegal approach, tapping up or just one of Brendan's mates, Nick Hammond or John MadStad, ringing up for a chat?

The trouble is how do you police this sort of thing and get evidence, let alone a conviction? Even if we managed those things would we get any reward or would Reading just get fined with that money going to the FA?

We've taken the most sensible course of action and gone for the money which we obviously need. If it means one less player being sold this summer then that's a good bit of business.
