Home, Sports, Scores, Video, TV, SkyBet. The relationship between these two groups is so clear to me it's basically symbiotic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Why is everyone fixating on this mythical '100m' figure as well. Is it a release clause do we think or are they just speculating about how much he might cost? Honestly, if Kane is going for 130m or whatever Spurs want, there's your bar. No way he leaves for less that 130m unless there is the exit clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly a conspiracy theory up there with the magic bullet. Of course they benefit from it in multiple ways, clickbait & viewing figures inc. But the idea that just because SkyBet aren't owned by Sky Group anymore that there aren't strong ties between the two is beyond naïve. It's a denial of human nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good business model. Do you think Sky Sports want you to bet responsibly on transfer activity with SkyBet or other betting companies?

villabromsgrove Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 So let me get this right. Jack's agent has had a meeting with NSWE/Purslow even though he doesn't currently have an offer to run by them, and they have graciously agreed that Jack's four year contract can be torn up should the agent actually persuade a club to come up with an offer in the near future .... Is that what this 'clickbait' is asking us to believe? You have to take your hat off to Jonathan Barnett who apparently has cunningly persuade the 'naive Villa owners' that contracts mean nothing when the mighty agent want to act. Two ruthless billionaires rolling over and having their tummies tickled by JB .... Hmmm, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffer85 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 They do realise our owners are rich and Jack signed a new contract in September If nswe don't accept the bid it's not like Jack is going to down tools at his boyhood club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
