Not unless they sell about 5 players that there's no market for They'll do well to raise £80m in player sales this summer, no one is buying sterling for example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NSWE are true to their word then Jack stays. City do not pay the transfer fees necessary to sign him. No we do not. Surely you know by now the player has all the power. He will just refuse to play if it comes down to it. And spare me the he loves the club line. Ultimately it's just a job to him, and a business decision.

sharkyvilla Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, PieFacE said: Yeah it's strange. This is the main reason why I think there is some type of release clause, without it, I'd doubt there would even be a discussion on it. The only other thing that may factor into the equation is the shin injury. There may come a point where there is a cold-blooded decision to make that he does have a value where it's worth considering letting him go if we don't think he will play 30 plus games. City might feel they can manage his workload more and Jack might think now is the time to maximise what he can get from football. I still think he will sign a new contract with us when he is back from holiday though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan501 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 If city trigger release clause I it exists resulting in villa owners hands being tied to reject can we demand full amount upfront I for one want it all if we lose our star player. Installments I know is the norm but it will hold us back imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fool me once, etc etc. I will hold it against him, 10 months after signing a 5 year deal. But I’m sure he doesn’t care nor will he ever know, so I won’t prattle on about it. Yeah I just don't think Jack would do that to Villa. Why would he U turn on his belief in a project after such a short time? I'm not saying it's not possible but doesnt add up for me and he doesn't seem that kind of guy so will simply trust that Jack will lead us to even more success this season! I may well have my head in the sand whilst wearing rose tinted glasses but it's what I'm going with. If I'm wrong then will definitely feel a little aggrieved despite the decent money we'll no doubt get (although probably not enough in my book!)

Jbvilla909 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm confident NSWE will tell Shake Mansaw to go drill a hole. Jack won't force a move, he'll sign a bumper deal, we'll sign Bailey, Alvarez and whoever else we want and stroll into the champions league 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
