Eastie Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 1 minute ago, VillaFaninLondon said: Well if he didn't divulge it and it comes out that it did include one it won't look good on his part. It also won't look good on Jack's part who proclaimed he was completely committed to the club last summer when he signed his deal (which would contradict that if it contained an exit clause). Just seems absurd that we'd even have one for such a talismanic figure. Even the likes of Milner and Barry didn't have one and they had no strong affiliation with the club. I also highly doubt Purslow would be mugged off by his agent on such matters, but Jack's agent does come across as a bit of a leech. But surely it would be in villa interests to not make public and deny it rather than alert clubs to it if asked? I could see why the club would deny a release clause and also why Jack would want one inserted into such a long term deal - not saying there is one but would understand why villa would deny it .

Yes, but if he was to go to City for below his value to us I hardly think Villa fans would be sympathetic and say "oh Purslow was just protecting Villa's interests". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who knows. This will be like the ESR story. City are close to signing Jack then wham all of a sudden were offering Jack a new contract, this is the same crap that started not to far into the window. These people create this bollox because look how it stirs the hornets nest up. They don't care whether they are talking shit because they have got there objective done which is earn money and get lots of views,reviews,followers and posts. There are agendas behind it all. Then here's the kicker, if by somehow these people do get it right then everyone thinks they are the next mystic meg or what's his name who was spose to be the vision guy who could see all the disasters happening through time. They have there tricks and agendas and get increasingly better at it each year, really they are no more than god damn Gypsys reading your palms and tea leaves.

omariqy Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I don't know how people can say he's not going anywhere. We don't know if he has a release clause. If they activate it then I'm sure he will be very tempted to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 If Purslow had have actually said that there's no release clause then we'd know about it and wouldn't need to ask if he said it, because the quote would have been repeated over and over again in the media, espcially on clickbait sites like the Birmingham Mail.

AvonVillain Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Sorry to even take part in this, but, Why would you ever ever admit your best player has a release clause? There's absolutely no benefit to us at all in doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okonokos Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I'd be amazed if he has a release clause in his contract. We're too well run nowadays to do things like that. He'd probably have a relegation clause but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
