Ron Burgess Watford Manager.

News Abolition of the players maximum wage.

A hole appears in the pitch at the Rookery end against Grimsby Town. Taking down the opposition Left Back. ( A free kick was not awarded).

Holton sold to Northampton Town in a move that angered supporters everywhere. Protests to the club fell on deaf ears as the board stuck behind their manager. Who made it worse for himself by denying Holton was going.
Burgess had in fact told the board it was him or me. The board backed the wrong man...
