But his goal in the draw at Old Trafford a couple of years ago will live as long in the memory, and the 7-2 win against Liverpool that he was instrumental in will have longer historical legs than either of those United games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of ties into the whole "game is gone" notion, but football and even the players themselves seem more disconnected from fans than ever. None of this means anything to them really. They prefer trophies that nobody will remember even 15 years from now over creating enduring, legendary legacies for the fans and everyone involved with the club. The community aspect is all but gone. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The community aspect is all but gone. This, and I'm so happy other fans see it this way. For me the only way around it is to link revenue spent to fans through the gate, I don't mean tickets brought , fans in the grounds. It will encourage bigger grounds and cheaper prices, for home and away fans. Add this to the chance of standing and we are getting close to the game we used to have and it was good , so good I pine for it even today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t have Villa bending over backwards to appease and protect him like before either. This is a good point. Can’t see Man City protecting him like we did. As long as they keep Foden squeaky clean, they won’t really care about Grealish. I don’t care what anyone says, I’ll never understand his move to City. He could have been a hero here, an immortal in his boyhood clubs history. The club his entire family idolise. Ok, he’d be a few trophies worse off but surely that is worth more than a couple of league medals when you only play half the matches? Like I say, I don’t understand it, but maybe I just don’t get it. Jack himself came out in his rebuttal to that Preece article suggesting fans don’t get the footballing world and maybe we don’t. Either way, he better get used to the bench up at City because the likes of Foden, Silva, Sterling and Jesus are outperforming him at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the problem with many modern professional athletes. He has a contract now for what, 100 million quid? He's made it, set for life and doesn't need to put the effort in to improve anymore.

The_Steve Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 The tabloids only care for money - they have no loyalty to Jack. It’s very obvious the latest woman went to The Sun and sold the story to them. It’s only a matter of time until more do the same. God forbid if we end up with a sex tape situation being leaked. I know Southgate is a Yes man and will do his best to keep Jack in the squad, but I cannot imagine him tolerating it either. As much of a factor he was in influencing him to leave, it feels like they are now seeing that side of Jack again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best thing for Grealish was Smith who compared to his 2 current coaches allowed him a long leash. Whether thats good or bad is irrelevant but he got the best out of him from this approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep won't put up with these stories in the tabloids, the more it happens, the less he will play. Certainly took his eye off the ball, an we all know you have to be 110% focused with Pep. He was getting away with murder at our club to be honest, now he's seeing what it's really like, having to perform like a £100 million footballer. That says a lot about the regime at our club, if true. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw an interview with an ex QPR player cant remember who maybe Paddy Kenny but they were talking about Taarabt. A few of the senior pros wanted to punch him early doors but Warnock let him away with everything as he knew he would win them games and told the players this. So the players just got on with it and can imagine the same happened with Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
