Deeney: Watford boss Gracia doesn't mess with fines

Troy Deeney has revealed Watford boss Javi Gracia won't tolerate poor timekeeping.

The Hornets have won all five of their opening games of the season in all competitions, and it comes following manager Gracia's new policy of policing the fine system.

"We do the rules and the fines are done by the players as well. This year the gaffer took charge of how much the fines were," Deeney told BBC 5Live's podcast.

"Some of the fines were very steep, some just quick ones that people didn't think were that bad.

"He's made it so all the fines are very steep this year and no one is really messing about to be fair so I think everyone likes their money too much.

"The worst one is £100 a minute for being late. You could be on the M25 and you're sitting there for 35 minutes and its clocking up very quickly."
