But big club " etc Jamaican players at big clubs shining light on the country etc. He basically answered the question pretty intelligently, he literally never answered the question directly at all. " I'm happy and comfortable where I am but you never know what can happen in Football ". Would be pretty stupid of him to slap any club away outright then they offer 100 mill or something for him in summer lol Amazing how people just jump to the conclusion that will generate noise.

Leon didn't slight Villa at all, he just spoke the truth. Unfortunately, in the Villa bubble it's all about Villa but outside we've been nothing but existing for the last 14 years. Not won a trophy since the nineties however, Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool, City and Arsenal have mopped up nearly everything in the last 25 years so it's normal those outside the bubble have different perspectives. I think it's pretty disgusting from Townley to come out with this shit tbh and wouldn't be surprised if he does create a backlash towards Leon with the clown brigade. Things are changing around the club, even the perspective that we have now arrived back at the top table under the owners and Emery. People are slowly seeing the club in a different light again and in a positive way, everyone should be trying to keep it that way, not cause discontent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nothing story just like the Jetski incident . If his form was still bad. We'd have bullet points about him running from police on jet skis and beating up fans in the stands...

maqroll Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 14 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Just saw that Butler has commented on this Said while they've tried to mask it as a discipline issue. Truth is Leon was tired of the poor conditions of travel, accomodation, security and has finally refused to pay his own way etc. Also said he got alot of his injuries due to poor accomodation and multiple circumstances on international duty and so on. So basically he's refused to play until they get their act together at the JFF Track and Field must be the top priority sport in JA. But they could and should be a bigger player in CONCACAF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why the local journalists go with these negative headlines. Retain and grow your audience with content that is fair but optimistic, get behind the club when we are having a positive season. It is so disappointing, rightly people are unfollowing and complaining. At least spin Bailey's words positively. Gregg Evans was the same (thankfully he was replaced). Sky are now picking this news up. Sky want Spurs and Utd in the top 5 - they will use as much negative noise they can against us to help achieve that. Townley & Bailey have let the club down here. Thanks guys! Great time for you guys to promote yourselves........not Edited March 21 by Villa_Vids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) From Sky Sports: Bailey open to leaving Aston Villa for 'big six' Leon Bailey has said he would like to join a 'big six' team in the Premier League, despite signing a new deal at Aston Villa last month. Bailey told the Let’s Be Honest Podcast that he is focused on finishing the season strongly with Villa, where he is very happy. Although, he said would be open to moving to another club that could give him a bigger platform to promote Jamaican football. Asked if he is interested in a move to Chelsea in the near future, Bailey said: "You have big teams in England, they call themselves the big six. The Arsenals and the Chelseas. "It has always been my dream to play in the Premier League and I am right now. “Who wouldn’t want to go to a massive team? Especially coming out of Jamaica, do you know how big that is for the country? Especially being who I am as well. “It would shine more light and that has been my focus whenever overseas. It is to use my platform to be able to shine light on the country and the young talents. It’s difficult for us Jamaicans to even make it to Europe."
