Eastie Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 1 minute ago, brummybloke said: The rise in super jack has coincided with the rise in villa fans spending money. 30,000 season ticket holders, 13k on the waiting list. Expected shirt sales 30,000 sold 80,000 and now expecting to sell 100,000 this year. Plans to extend the capacity due to cementing our position and fan expenditure. With all of these plans, Jack is a key part of it as he will be 50% of any sponsor influenced decision to sponsor villa. Gone are the days of match day shirt sponsors for each player shirt on the programme with Townshend newsagents sponsoring a play for a game. It's going to be big business, big business requires success and big time players, the also means more tv money and league position money. Jack is in my view staying, just can't see the logic in taking 100m or there abouts and that's it, when we keep him 4 more years and the income he generates is the same or more than that plus he would be playing for us and improving the team. Probably will sell double last seasons grealish shirts with his new fan club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutting yes, but not the end. With maturity, I learnt to live with disappointment better. Many moons ago when I was a teenager, we sold David Platt to Bari after Italia 90 for £5.5m. A record sale for us at the time. I was fuming, downbeat etc, how could the club I love do this? Then Big Ron did some wheeling and dealing that summer and that season we played some of the best football I had ever seen at Villa Park. Close to winning the league with such a good brand of football. Really don’t think it’s been bettered since by us on a consistent basis? Yes, very different times now but should we receive £100m plus for his sale, then surely we’ll improve the team overall with three or four quality additions and not just attempt to replace his position on the pitch? The big test will be how NSWE and Smith react to any sale? Do they get down in the dumps about it or come out fighting and show Jack and the rest that we still mean business. Like I say, I think he’ll stay for now but interesting couple of days ahead. As a fan obviously, I couldn’t leave us if I was still wanted. Looking up at the Holte with fans singing your name week in week out. It doesn’t get much better does it. I remember the Platt sale. Like you I was gutted. He was my hero and kept us up singlehandedly that season under Dr Jo You are a bit out on the season of great football though... that wasn't the season after Platt left, it was two seasons after. Big Ron's first season was decent, we finish 7th but had a spell of 1 goal in 11 games in mid season - imagine if that happened now! Meltdown. The following year when we got Houghton in and then Saunders signed, plus Dalian was back from injury, we were majestic, and came 2nd ps Platt left on 20th July 1991. A few days over 30 years ago! Where does time go? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just brilliant stuff and 30 years is just frightening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jareth Posted July 26, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) This guy is reffered to as an employee of Villa by a South American Citeh fan - seems all quite random, but it's so odd it's intersting. His bio is "Contemporary to Emiliano Martinez". This post today before Jack's instagram message. Then McGinn. Makes you think something has got around the players today.

INCREDIBLE HOW THE MANCHESTER CITY WILL GET F*CKED I very much doubt this person is an employee but god bless him he really loves the Villa.

Tomaszk Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Statue territory is absolutely right. If he stays, it's simply a fact we will keep moving forward very quickly. I wasn't expecting the new deal last summer at all. Another "lifer" would be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 To be clear, the pic McGinn and Grealish both posted is just a link to the club's official page about it being 1 Year today we secured our place in the Prem. I really wouldn't read too much into it. The pic of Jack is one of the media in the post from the club. It would've been automatically done when Jack/John decided to share the club's post about us staying up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think Man City have got other things to worry about lately than trying to spend £300 million on 2 players. Wait till this hearing finishes, they got UEFA and the FA after them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have literally nothing to worry about, they have the best lawyers in the world and a cartel of other clubs with a vested interest of making sure nothing materially changes for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the **** is wrong with people Are you serious? He knows full well about all the speculation at the moment and he knows full well what the "fingers in the ears" symbolises to the fans after that gesture last summer. I think he'd be very stupid to post that if he was on the brink of a move. Think about it a bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
