The Pozzo family, fronted by Italian businessman Giampaolo Pozzo, are the owners of three different football teams (Udinese of Italy, Granada of Spain and Watford of England), different not only geographically but different in mentality, but despite their differences the three Pozzo teams work together in harmony in order to achieve success on all three fronts, Udinese have had success in the Serie A, gaining European qualification on numerous occasions, Granada have had success in the Spanish leagues, going from the brink of destruction in the third tier of Spanish football to back to back promotions which took them all the way to La Liga after a 35 year absence, they even managed to survive albeit in 17th. And now, Watford look set to follow in their footsteps.I really fail to see how what the Pozzo family are doing is harmful to football, they are helping three different teams survive, compete and achieve. The Pozzo family are criticised for this when other owners spend beyond their club's means or use their club to fund for their own bank balance, go unquestioned by the footballing worldSurely, the footballing world should be grateful that good owners who really want to help clubs grow like the Pozzo family still exist? Instead of criticising them for their alternative method.. And the Pozzo family's secret? Well, there is no big secret, just a set up which allows players to move on loan between the network of clubs so clubs get the players they need and the players get what they need, games.
