Winds me that half the spurs fans don't even want him and that Levy is just doing his usual noncing of a young player for a cut price. They don't even realise what they'd be getting. I hope he has an absolute shocker tonight in front of the cameras and we win 1-0 . I want the whole of spurs twitter comparing him to David Bentley by 10pm.

This season can get to f**k if he leaves.

Woods has been player of the year for them for the past 2 years. We have to be paying upwards of 10 mill? With FFP and the Woodburn rumour it doesn't bode well for us keeping Jack imo. Sounds like we are getting our replacements together ready for a deadline day swoop.

Is this Mendes bloke somehow connected?

Nothing mate

I think the theory is he was going to be out of contract in the summer so would have commanded a big singing on fee and wages from a club then. Madness we paid those wages and 3 mill to Forest on top. The justification would have been we were going for promotion so needed him now I guess.

i'd be confident of a playoff place from any manager in history if you gave him the squad we had last season.

Not the greatest barometer, and not overly relevant when assessing his potential as a manager but I’ve always thought of him as an awful pundit. I still would be excited if he was appointed though.

**** that, not for sale at any price.

I think in a lot of cases it's people being resigned to him leaving and trying to come to terms with it. It's like when you desperately try to find some acceptance in advance of being disappointed so as to soften the blow when it happens. It sums up how hopeless the feeling is at the moment. Personally, I've snapped out of it. I'd rather me gf pack her bags than Jack leave the Villa.

If this does become a ground zero "we've got as much chance as anyone of going up" situation it's Olof Mellberg for me.

I love the kid too much to wait him to stay at this sh*tshow. Will kill me to see him in another club's shirt though.

I say we all go down to the Winchester, have a pint and wait for all this to blow over.

I couldn't even bear to go into that thread going on about how good the championship is. It's not fun when you catch yourselves in that wilderness where the Norwich's, Forests and Leeds are. It can be a long old hard season, watching average football in crowds of 23/24k fans with a squad of decent been around the block pro's that can be out of the chase by Jan/Feb. That's where I see us going because we have no real saleable assets bar Grealish (and i'd be gutted to see him leave more than any player during my time of watching the club). We really had to go up, the plan and style of play was too short-termist and "win now" for us not to have. We'll be left with a shell of a squad once the oldies and loans have gone and they'll be no carry over from the last 2 years in terms of playing staff and football philosophy to bring with us next season. We'll likely do a Norwich and start over but I don't think the fans will have the patience for the inevitable fall next season and the '2-3 years' spiel that will come out. This league will get old fast that's for sure (well it already has for me).

Well if ever there was any doubt about how absolutely massive Saturday was, that statement should make it clear. They'll be loads of unrest and negativity amongst the fans now.

What country you from, the black country?

Just desperate for him to stay. Not arsed about the rest.

We're in the shit now lads

The subs...honest to Christ what the **** was he playing at

I'm just excited to see who 0,-1 and -2 are ?

They'll be 1000's going to general sale.

Remember those, I sat in the Trinity as a kid that season and he was great linking up with Vass and Barry attacking the north end.. Really silky player beating players with feints and cuts inside - nearly scored a worldy against Leeds doing that. Probably remember the performances of him that season more vividly than any player since So gutted, RIP J LO.

Great performance. Love how we are handling traore, no fouls on him which is basically pulls's gameplan for set pieces. Keith Andrews looks like my nan.

Off topic player-wise, but i've seen Snodgrass get quite a few good mentions from players and manager over the past few months. Seems like he is key player in the dressing room.
