BUT how would you feel if it was us teaming up in a joint venture overseas? Possibly with a team in Holland or Italy?

One swallow doesn't make a summer.

I'd be interested to see how this 'experiment' pans out.
I can see one club getting royally shafted, and ending up with next to no one, depending on where the money is.

Wouldn't mind it. What's the difference between them having a parent club and us being lots of foreigners? If Watford can establish themselves in the Premier League they will be the bigger club and maybe Udinese will then become the feeder club

I'd like to see a loose tie-up between us and a European GIANT, so we could have the odd gem on loan, but nothing in the vein of the Udinese/Watford relationship.

Don't forget John Byrne who was immense for us and eventually moved for a massive profit

By all accounts the rules are being changed to prevent this in the future, possibly during this very close season.
