foreveryoung Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) If he was offered 400k a week to stop at Villa, believe me he would have given us another season at least.

I support Villa but if I was in his position I’d do it in a heart beat and earn tens of millions each year. Don't underestimate how influential Nike have been, or any other company looking to get a piece of the action. His Nike deal is up this year (end of season perhaps?). I'm surprised there wasn't more of a push from Adidias on our side. Nassef Sawiris owns ~8% of Adidas. I presume we drop Kappa at some point for Adidas?

WHY Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 4 minutes ago, TheAuthority said: Well, football died back in 1992, or at least that was when Rupert Murdoch administered the lethal dose. Has any one man done more to destroy Western Civilization for the common man? From union busting, the general dumbing down of the populace, to climate science denial. When I was a kid I wanted to Sky so I could watch football. My dad (RIP) refused and said he'd never give Murdoch a pound of his money. He was right. I’m nearly 50 but football is miles better now. Yes Sky dictates a lot but you have to move with the times. The players are better, the coaches are better, the stadiums are better, grassroots is better, the pitches are better. I can’t comment on Murdoch as a person as I don’t know enough about him but let’s not kid ourselves that football died in 1992. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 If you think Jack's £300k+ is insane then what the hell are they going to pay Harry Kane!?! Ad why the hell aren't they having the book thrown at them for blatant FFP rule breaks!? You don't go from being a club with sod all to being able to splash this amount of cash AND stay within FFP in such a short period of time. You simply don't. Mab United have built that global pull over decades, this lot I bet have sod all global appeal in terms of revenue. Corrupt as f**k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about Trophies. I don’t believe you. More money, CL football, world class teammates, more exposure, more endorsements, huge fame. But yeah he should sacrifice all that to have some fans chant his name at Villa Park in 10-15 years. He’d be a total idiot to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of people on here who will remember the Villa from long before 1992, so the money spinning circus it is now will seem like madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fans, empty stadiums, billions of people paying £20 to watch a game at home and only 12 teams to choose from. They do not want us to have a team of choice, they want us to support their vision of football. crap with a capital c 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I agree that it would increase a bit…I get the impression that his agent may have hid just how big his brand is/will be from staying with Villa.
