Sir Elton John, one of Watford's most famous former chairmen and lifelong supporter, has spoken out about the club's struggles, saying he is 'upset and disappointed' with their recent form. The singer, who had two spells as majority shareholder and remains closely associated with the club, made the comments publicly.

Whether or not it pressures the current ownership, the headline alone keeps the conversation about Watford's underperformance in the public eye.
