Watford will 提起する／ポーズをとる首相 League 長，指導者s a unique problem if they clinch 昇進／宣伝 as a 移転出入港禁止禁止（する）s them from making 調印s until August 31.

経営者／支配人 Gianfranco Zola has a dozen players on 貸付金s which 満了する／死ぬ at the end of the season, leaving Watford with only 14 契約d professionals.

They would be unable to 調印する new players in 準備するing to compete in one of the world’s strongest leagues. The club have already made a 予選 approach to the 首相 League for special 免除 if they are 促進するd but the 状況／情勢 is 前例のない.

Calling for reinforcements? Gianfranco Zola may have to manager a 14-man squad

Calling for 増強s? Gianfranco Zola may have to 経営者／支配人 a 14-man squad

The 首相 League will not want an uncompetitive team but would be 気が進まない to 無視（する） a 罰始める，決める by an 独立した・無所属 disciplinary （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限. They have also been staunchly …に反対するd to third-party 関与.

Watford’s 移転出入港禁止 was 課すd last month and relates to 不正行為s under the club’s previous owners, 含むing the ￡3.5million sale of Danny Graham to Swansea in 2011, when money passed between Watford and a third-party company called LNOC.

The （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限設立する Watford had been paid ￡951,041 by LNOC in return for ￡1m, 保証（人）d by two instalments of ￡500,000 from Swansea for Graham.

Other monies also passed betw een the club and LNOC, breaking Football League 支配するs which 明言する／公表する that clubs must 宣言する any third-party 関与.

Former owner Laurence Bassini, who sold Watford to the Pozzo family last year, was also banned from football for three years for 財政上の不品行／姦通.

The 首相 League 罰金d West Ham ￡5.5m for 事実上の／代理 improperly and 保留するing 文書s over the 所有権 of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano in 2006. Scott Duxbury, West Ham’s 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある when Tevez and Mascherano were 調印するd, has been Watford 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある since July.

Watford will be 促進するd to the 首相 League if they can get a point more than 船体 in the final games of the 選手権 on Saturday when Watford are at home to 物陰／風下d and 船体 are at home to 支持する／優勝者s Cardiff.

Too good to be true? West Ham were punished for the 調印s of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano

Whatever league they are in next season, the Hornets are 確信して an 協定 can be reached which 許すs them to compete. They have received encouraging 早期に調印するs from both leagues. It is a question of how much 余裕／偏流 they are 認めるd.

Would the 首相 League, for instance, 許す them to 収集する a 十分な 25-man squad? Perhaps it is easier to 許す if they 変える some of the 12 貸付金調印s into 永久の調印s. All this will have to be thrashed out in the summer.

The 解答 would be a little easier if they were still in the Football League, where there is more experience of clubs under 出入港禁止 and 緊急貸付金s are in 操作／手術, which do not 固執する to the 全世界の最終期限.

The calendar may yet 供給する a natural escape as August 31st is a Saturday and the 移転 deadlin e may be 延長するd to Monday September 2. This has yet to be 始める，決める.
