This season we can add quality. I would be surprised if our recruitment was the same as last season. By type I mean those so called bargains with potential, I've seen the so called Dortmund model mentioned so many times issue is we don't have a recruitment team anywhere near as competent as Dortmund. If most of us are honest we were straight on google as each of last summers signings were announced apart from the loans we bought. Most sane people agree we should have brought at least a couple of experienced PL players last summer, I think if we'd brought in a Cahill or a Ings this season may have looked a whole lot different. We'll see I suppose, but can't see the club buying anyone that will make Jack have second thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 This may well be Super Jack’s last game in claret and blue, if that is to be (I still hold feint hope it won’t be), then let this be the game where Jack turns on the style and performs like we all know he can. Win us this one Jack and we’ll be forever grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Has something happened on this that I've missed? Because most seem to be assuming today will be his last game for us even if we stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his reaction and response to the question of whether he was leaving after we played the Arsenal game has tilted most to thinking he is leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after reading all the 'jacks just basically confirmed he's leaving' posts I went back and watched it, and I didn't take anything from it at all. Just sounded to me like the standard media trained '1 match at a time' response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Perhaps the claret and blue glasses talking but I think there’s a decent chance he’ll stay if we stay up. I think it’ll be contingent on the promise of more investment and leave next season if we don’t improve. He’s Villa through and through and only really played for us when we’re shit, if it looks like we’re on the up and he’ll be at the centre of it that’s a huge reason to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Stay up and he'll be convinced to give one more year. Another shit show in terms of recruitment, then he can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree mate. Their "bad decisions" are 90mins away from getting a team promoted at the first attempt and surviving the first PL season. If they have made so many bad decisions I can't wait till they start making good ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we stay up then it's up to us to accept or reject a bid. What Jack wants really doesn't matter until we accept. If we say no and offer him a big pay rise then I doubt he would kick up a fuss.

Tommo_b Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 If we stay up, you’d imagine the owners might get on the phone to him and talk about their plans for the future and the investment they hopefully make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
