Just goes to show how easy it is to write any old crap. Just chill folks and wait till we hear anything official. You believe he’s staying?

Otherwise we’d be describing the cost of 2 exercises bikes at BMH as life changing sums of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course things are much more promising with Jack in our side but as a club what is more important is that we develop at identity, and that identity can't be built upon a single player. Several other side's such as Leicester, Leeds, and West Ham don't have Jack. Does that curtail their hopes and ambition, no it doesn't. They have an identity, a plan and we need to have the same. It was very apparent last season we struggle without Jack. The players didn't know what to do without their conductor. We need to be better than that, even if Jack stays we can't be so reliant on him. If we does leave the crucial thing is how we invest the money, it's really difficult. We may get it badly wrong but other clubs have succeeded in the past and it has helped them grow further as a side. None of those players were as important as Jack is to us but we can do it too. The promising thing is we do have a philosophy being built from the youth system up, this may slow our progress slightly this season but hopefully as a club in a few years time we will have built a solid foundation and identity. If Jack leaves hopefully he comes to rue the decision on a few years time. Hopefully we still progress and win some trophies, and even if Jack was to win premier League titles with City he'd be thinking I wish that was me, I was I was the captain leading my boyhood club to glory. Or we could just continue to be another team that competes but ultimately never wins anything. Whatever happens I have full faith in our owners and our management team. well said. Very level headed view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Yes - now up to date with the Jack Grealish thread. And, we still don't really have a clue if he will stay or go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I think the club need to make a statement one way or the other. Give an impression we have some handle on what is happening. If NSWE came out and said he’s leaving but we are still on course and going to invest every penny of it fans would become excited again, albeit sad Jack is leaving.

Irrespective, I hope Jack turns up to Bodymoor tomorrow and is taken over to Villa Park. Walk him out onto the pitch and ask him to imagine the Holte End booing him. No way will the holte end ever boo Jack with the memories he's given us. I certainly won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he is going anywhere. We won’t accept the bid, Jack’s probably doesn’t want to leave… that’s it.

That's what I mean... how would they know if NSWE would accept the bid? Is it because they've long said we'd accept £100m and now need to stand by that?

Wainy316 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Even if he ends up going it will be huge for NSWE’s public image to reject that first bid. They’ll have a day of headlines to themself. **** reject it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly won't I wouldn't bet on it.. There's certainly going to be a lot of resentment if he leaves less than 2 weeks before the season starts, especially after what he said when he committed to a 5 year contract last September. If he leaves it's because Jack and his representatives have pushed for an exit. I've got no room for sentiment with someone leaving us in the lurch like that, I don't care who it is 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
