Watford manager Walter Mazzarri 'not worried at all' by EFL investigation into alleged forgery

Watford boss Walter Mazzarri insists he is not worried by any potential sanctions the club face following allegations that they supplied false financial documents to the English Football League (EFL).

The allegations, reported in the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday, centre on Gino Pozzo's takeover of the Hornets in 2014, where he assumed complete control from his father Giampaolo, and the alleged use of a forged banking letter.

The Hornets are now under investigation by the EFL and could face a fine or points deduction if the claims are proven to be accurate.
