Watford's owners, the Pozzo family, call on the Championship club's fans to get behind their plans for the club.

Watford's new owners have urged the club's supporters to get behind their "vision" for the Championship club.

The Pozzo family have made a quick impact at Vicarage Road by swiftly dismissing manager Sean Dyche, with former West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola expected to become the club's new coach.

A statement on the club's official website said: "We understand there will be a number of questions from supporters about the future of our club.

"Our vision of how we should be involved in professional football is to provide financial and technical support, so that success can be achieved over the long-term. Every project will be individual and local in its development, and we will add to that the advantages we can take from synergies of operation across the group.

"We are here for the long-term. This is not a case of a foreign owner with an injection of money looking for a quick return. Our aim is clear: we wish to establish Watford as a Premier League club, which has revenue to help it become self-sufficient over time."

Watford finished in 11th place in the Championship last season.
