Sir Elton John has sensationally quit his position as honorary ‘life president’ at Watford Football Club, with the singer criticizing the new board’s ambition.
The club have recently sacked manager Aidy Boothroyd after a terrible start to the season which finds the club lying near the bottom end of the table. The world famous singer is a life long fan of the club and has had two separate spells as chairman, taking the club to the heights of the FA Cup Final in 1984 – sadly for Elton, they lost.
A statement from Sir Elton John’s representative reads: “Elton John has decided to resign as Life President of Watford Football Club. In a letter to Watford Chairman Graham Simpson, Elton affirmed that he would always be a fan of Watford.”
“Elton wishes the team every success for the future. However, in the light of developments over the past few months, he feels he cannot remain in any formal position within the Club.”
