Pozzo Family Finalises Watford Takeover Deal

Udinese owners, look the Pozzo family have completed their takeover of Watford Football Club from owner Laurence Bassini.

The Pozzos have been interested in Watford for a few months but Bassini had insisted on several occasions there was no truth in our sources’ claims the family wanted to take over the club and that he was not looking to sell.

The Stanmore businessman finally admitted he was leaving the club two weeks ago and since then all parties have been working to conclude the deal.

Watford are believed to have been bought by a Special Purpose Vehicle, a new company set up to buy the club and controlled by the Pozzos.

The Pozzo family already own Serie A club Udinese and Spanish club Granada.
