I personally think Jack wants to leave. If he didn't, then we'd have a contract announcement by now. I also think he's clearly not going to kick off. So we're in a situation where either we accept the bid or Jack kicks off. I'm not confident but I think we will put up a fight. Well that’s a negative outlook, can easily be spun the other way.

He’s trained a bit, shown he’s not doing a Kane but he’ll go. Probably with the support of the club. Hopefully most of the fans too no matter how gutted we are. At some point we have to realise we do actually deserve better than to have our Captain try and arrange a move every summer. You keep saying this but absolutely no evidence points to him leaving. All we have is that City have bid for him He has a 4 year contract and despite all the speculation it was being completed over the weekend we are 5.30pm on Monday with nothing. In fact he’s trained two days on the trot with us and mixing with other players and staff. What actually points to him leaving? Speculation is not an answer because we don’t know how credible any of it is, in fact we know probably most of it is made up. Even the phantom release clause seems to have disappeared apart from Sam Lee grasping at straws. So what evidence (not speculation) leads you to believe Jack is leaving?

May-Z Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 30 minutes ago, KentVillan said: If there's a release clause, then I think these are the possibilities: City haven't actually met the release clause. Either the £100m is too low, or it's structured in such a way that it doesn't meet the requirements. City think they've met the release clause, but our lawyers think they can challenge it in some way. City have met the release clause, but Jack isn't as committed to the move as City think. Sam Lee is a lying rollneck word removed What do we think in terms of most/least likely? City have 'bid' £100m to meet a buy out clause but that is made up of a deal including a player/players who we disagree on the valuation of.

Does seem strange. Apparently Sawiris owns property nearby but that would hardly be a reason to uproot your entire team for a low-resource training camp.

sheepyvillian Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I can't stop thinking about his words after he signed that 5yr contract. And now one season after he no longer has faith in the ambition of the owners, or the commitment to get us where we want to be. If he goes, then those words were just empty ones and that will really leave behind a lot of hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're basing training locations on where Sawiris owns property, then there is going to be a bit of world tour for the lads I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of scenery? Also means the team stay together overnight. Like a team building session I imagine to start pre-season. We have them at work. Usually at a Travelodge and I end up throwing up on the shoes of the CEO after 12 pints of Strongbow. Same thing really 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
