Background

Main articles: 2010–11 Watford F.C. season and History of Watford F.C.

The end of the 2010-11 season signalled the start of a period of change, on and off the pitch. Watford sold the cub's top scorer Danny Graham to newly promoted Swansea City for £3.5m.^[2] They also sold Young Player of the season Will Buckley to Brighton & Hove Albion for £1m, and Liam Henderson left on a free transfer to York City. Off the field, Watford's chief executive Julian Winter left the club shortly after the sales of Buckley and Graham, and manager Malky Mackay joined Cardiff City the following week. On 21 June, 20 year old defender Tom Aldred left on a season long loan to Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Nathan Ellington went on a free transfer to Ipswich Town.^[3] Meanwhile on the same day, Craig Forsyth came to Watford from Dundee United and Sean Dyche was appointed as new manager.
