"Chelsea moved to the top of the Premiership this morning after successfully buying Watford’s points. The £11m transfer came as a surprise to the rest of the Premiership, but with Watford already having given up any hope of staying in the Premiership, the audacious purchase of all their points benefits both clubs.
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon commented ‘These 12 points are exactly the sort of boost the club needs at the moment and could be the difference that helps us retain the Premiership. For Watford, the money will allow them to rebuild their squad to have another tilt at promotion next year. As they say ‘you can’t take them with you’. ’
The champions now have 60 points, although their goal difference has of course suffered, particular considering the four goals that Chelsea now ‘conceded’ against Chelsea. But the transfer puts them six points ahead of Manchester United who are now rumoured to be in negotiations with Charlton over a loan of some of their points until the end of the season"
