I don't think the club would make it public unnecessarily. Why attract attention to something if you don't think you need to. I think Jack's agent was selling him a long long time ago to any club with money. Meh Shitty just came up with it first. I think the club have acted superb even if everyone was losing their shit for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BG_Villa_Fan Posted August 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2021 Between Purslow's comments and the dry Villa 'k thnx bye' tweet, the club have really shown what they think about his 'my club' bullshit., make no mistake. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Think we will see how the opening weeks go - maybe make some moves towards the end of the window. Professional interview - although I felt he was furious inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they let a few digs slip. Professionally, of course. Explicitly saying it was Jack’s decision was basically saying “it’s his fault he’s left.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Only issue with Purslow's statement... he knows Grealish isn't Voltron, right? You can't just mash 3 players together like they were robot lions. Edited August 5, 2021 by GarethRDR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Absolute Don of a man Christian Purslow is. Eloquent, Articulate and full of class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really does sound like ultimately the club handled it as best they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 A (neutral) friend of mine who follows Villa dealings with a keen interest for the chats etc has always felt Christian is a bit too polished to be fully trusted or liked.

I'm starting to see what he means. Honestly, I like him. They take time, assess the situation, keep things quiet, and only make an announcement when they have to. When they do have to, it is polished, it's considered, and it plays to our best interests. Compare and contrast with that fraud Xia.
