  1. Unlike a lot of our fans, Deano is a professional and reasonable human being and understands that this is a tough choice for Jack and only wants the best for him…
  2. I have this horrible feeling that he will stay, sign a bumper contract and be crocked for the next 5 years…
  3. He hasn’t had the chat yet. I think they must have decided it would look weird if he didn’t follow the schedule. But right after training he’s being yanked into a room with Dean, Purslow and NSWE on the blower.
  4. If you have a contract for a job, you still go to work the next day, even if you are about to hand in your notice three days later. Him turning up to training is definitely a sign of massive respect, unlike Neanderthal-Kane. But don’t think it’s a sign he is nailed on to stay. BUT! If you don’t think all the players are in his ear telling him to stay. That’s awesome - might help. Having a laugh with SJM. It’s got to help on the margin. Kane doesn’t even want that in his ear - he’s out.
  5. Want to note that even if he is leaving, at least he had the class and the balls to turn up for training today - unlike another even more expensive transfer that supposedly also loves his club… Also, on an unrelated note, they only have 1600 pages on the Spuds forum about Kane. Do they even love him that much really???
  6. Some kid called Jack about to break into our first team line up if he can avoid injury!
  7. Not harsh at all! In fact they are being incredibly generous. “We have you for 4 years, Jack. We’re investing heavily and we want you to be at the heart of this. You can be a Villa legend. But we realize the service you have given to this club and if you really want to leave we won’t stop you”.
  8. I’m happy keeping Deano as our manager for next season - he can play Jack as a false 9 if he wants. But no need for us to rush to get Pep.
  9. As bad as it feels for us to lose Jack, just imagine how Dr Tony is feeling right now… 100 million is less than he sold the club for…
  10. “Here you go Jack. There’s nearly 80 million spent to help you up front. Still want to leave?”
  11. Very sensible business getting this done today. Ughh imagine though. Ollie, Jack, Buendia, Bailey. That’s a top four attack…
  12. 100 million cash now is very different to 20 for five years. I suspect even if it does exist and is 100, city are trying to stretch it out as far as possible. Villa don't want to sell, and so insist "100 now or **** off"
  13. Half goes to tax right away… Save for your pension. Pay your giant mortgage on the 5 million plus house you buy. Clothes (there’s no way Jack wears the same outfit twice) Booze, cars, girls, blah… Then you save the rest. Invest for the future!
  14. Yeah. I imagine we said at the last contract - we can’t write a guarantee in your contract, but you stay another season and we have a gentleman’s agreement to let you go for X. Which is where all this confusion over a release clause may be coming from. It’s not legal - it’s verbal. But if we did say that, then we have to be gentlemen and uphold it. That’s fair. I think Jack has a big call to make this weekend. I don’t think even he knows right now if he is staying or going…
  15. Even if he leaves, we’re still in a much better position than when he was in a Steve Bruce formation. We’ve been spoiled the last few years. We are on the up whether Jack is here or not. If he doesn’t want to be here, I don’t want him here either - so long as we screw maximum $$$ out of city in the process. I won’t hate him, I just won’t care about him or be interested in anything he does - just like my ex wife. Small club mentality is getting all worked up because a worldie is leaving us. Jacks value is basically close to as high as it’s ever going to get. It would not be the worst thing in the world if he leaves - even if we can’t replace him with another worldie. UTV
