BOF Posted July 30, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2021 TBQH if (IF IF IF) the unthinkable was to happen and Jack was to be sold then I would fully expect this one to happen. Otherwise I don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the way the Athletic is going these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) £25m? Is this **** amateur hour? It's a ludicrous, insulting bid. I don't understand how we went from doing the business with Buendia so quietly and efficiently to the absolute circus with ESR and now this, what are we playing at.

If White is worth 50m, Grealish is worth 120m i reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the so called top level media i.e. sky, bbc, etc, have realised that clickbait is very successful and they are happy to use these made up links and run with stuff as if its gospel. No one ever quotes a source as their source comes from scouring fan gossip on forums and social. Edited July 30, 2021 by Phil Silvers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've then waited over a month and opened with a laughable £25m the very day we get sent £100m offer for Jack? Not very sensible is it? Would've been better off putting the ESR money into JWP 4 weeks ago before everyone and their nans knew we had £100m on the table. Feels like a quick way of trying to change the news cycle So you think we bid £35m had it rejected and came back with £25m? Do you think that’s likely, or perhaps the Athletic are more pathetic than we thought? Edited July 30, 2021 by DaveAV1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we know what its going to take and very quickly tried to get some more positive news out in the market that shows we're doing something. So lumped a shit bid in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
