Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The owners of Italian Serie A club Udinese have agreed a takeover of Watford, the Championship club said in a statement.
Italian businessman Giampaolo Pozzo has owned Udinese since 1986 and his family bought Spanish team Granada three years ago.
"Representatives from the (Pozzo) family have been in discussions with Watford Football Club and both parties have agreed initial terms," Watford said.
Based just north of London, Watford were in the Premier League in 2006-07 but were relegated after just one season and have been in the Championship (second division) since.
Watford enjoyed their best years in the early 1980s when singer-songwriter Elton John was chairman. The Hornets finished runners-up in the old first division behind Liverpool in 1983 and were beaten FA Cup finalists a year later.
