Hornets stand by Boothroyd

Watford chairman Graham Simpson has voiced his support for manager Aidy Boothroyd, following the Hornets' disappointing end to the season.
Boothroyd's side were battered by Hull City in the play-off semi-finals, having suffered a collapse in form in the closing weeks of the campaign.
However, Simpson told the Watford Observer: "I am a believer in continuity and I think we have got some great players here and a great management team.
"I'll support my manager. He's making mistakes but he's still learning. Hopefully we can move forward from here.
"Aidy has said we are going to play a different style of football and I admire him for that.
"I'm pleased about that, if I'm honest. I've never gone to Aidy and said 'you have to do this and you have to do that'. I'm not like that.
"But when he talked about playing a different style I was certainly very happy, not just for me, but everybody at Watford."
