I think the club is anticipating boos and hostility from some and trying to pre-empt it. It just will encourage it and makes the club look so embarrassing. Like a desperate former ex. “Delighted to see Sarah and her new boyfriend getting engaged! All the best @Sarah and thanks for the memories!

tomav84 Posted December 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2021 making a case for the defense, could the admin maybe be trying to stoke the fire before tonight? get the fans riled up and create a hostile atmosphere? just a thought...

WallisFrizz Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Silly thing is, if it weren’t for his Percy interview and now this, I think it all would have been quite low key from a Grealish perspective, some boos, nothing major. Most people concentrating on Gerrard setting up against City. Now so many back to August levels of angry again and nobody wanted to go back there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too kind. The statement if they wanted to be anything should minimise his presence - focus on the game at hand. He might not even play. It just reeks of whoever runs the admin account asking Jack not to block them on WhatsApp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it he saw us a stepping stone in his career which is fair enough but don't give me all that Villa til I die cheese nonsense. His agent would have wanted it in there at a lot less than 100m IMO, it is still absurd someone paid that money. The best team in the world came in for him who challenge for every competition. I don't for one second think Jack would have left for the likes of Leicester, West Ham, Arsenal, Spurs etc but members of this current squad will, if one of them comes in for Watkins we are going to have a hard time holding onto him. People are being way too harsh on Jack, he was too good for where we are and he wanted to see if can become an elite footballer that can perform in big games, no issues with that. If he wasn't a Villa fan he'd have a left a long time ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a really well thought out, eloquently put and reasonable statement providing an incredibly balanced argument and taking into account the opinions and feelings of all parties concerned… but he left us to play for Man City and tonight he is against us… so **** him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't a Villa fan he'd have a left a long time ago. I agree If a player is not playing at the level the club wants, he should leave (eg Hourihane, Green). If a club is not playing at the level the player wants, he can't leave? that's not fair on the player Still gutted he left, but the IG post shows he left on good terms despite what people on here suggest. He left for a record fee. I wish him well except in the games against Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t suggest anything a) the club is professional and doesn’t air dirty laundry b) the tweet was posted by the person running the clubs Twitter account not the owners or Purslow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, this media stuff from the club is shocking. I wouldn't boo him but if fans want to then no issue, I think it will just fuel him to perform though. Get into him like we would any opposition player but at the end of the game clap him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
