It hasn't happened yet.....but it could be a silver lining....I have a hunch, we could really kick on. Yes we’ve seen it many times Tro , Jack was a bit special but no doubt with or without him this club goes on and we have a strong platform now to build from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levy at Spuds isn’t letting that oil club take their best player, in fact that’s gone so quiet because he’s basically said you give us £160m or we don’t talk. Our owners should have done the same. Not £100m, pay us £150m up front or we don’t talk. I’ve been really disappointed how this has been handled and I don’t think we’re gonna get enough for him. You say should of as if it's already a done deal and it's not. None of us have any clue as to how it will all go, I mean for all we know all this could be a load of bollox.

You can't just go splashing money around on five or six players because you got a windfall. I'd hope we'd see it spent over the next couple of seasons. It'd probably put any plans we have back a year but we'd be stronger for it. We all know full well what happens when you try and bed in a whole new team. No not 5-6 but we’d absolutely have to get 2-3 quality players in before the window shuts. The issue is the longer this drags out the harder that will be. Which is why we should just tell those pr*cks in Manchester that they’ve missed the boat and to move on to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I desperately want him to stay - but it does look like the move he's been agitating for is now finally in the offing. To be clear, I made my original post because I find the posts calling him a club legend a bit nauseating. He's behind plenty of ex-players in terms of what he has actually delivered on the pitch. And whilst clearly a great talent - ultimately he's won nothing with us and left us when we are striving to challenge the top 6 (less than two weeks before the start of the season). We mock Blues for extolling Bellingham - but, if he leaves now, the only real difference between the two is a few seasons of appearances and a play-off final. I'm too young to ever watch Cowans play, so can't comment on any comparisons there. @sidcow @Steero113 - feel free to let me know what exactly about my post you disagreed with, rather than just a recycled gif we've all seen 100 times. I thought my Gif was pretty original? I disagree with the entirety of your post if that is of any help to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 We will never ever compete if this happens. Back to being midtable cannon fodder at best. As it was with Platt, Yorke, Milner etc. History keeps repeating itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If people are worried he's interested in joining City, he all but admitted he was interested in joining United last year. It's up to NSWE to stand firm and reiterate their vision to him, just like last year. Plus the offer is way too low anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd probably put any plans we have back a year but we'd be stronger for it. And therein lies the real problem here. Our plans/ambitions get pushed back a year then come the end of next season the likes of Watkins, Konsa, Martinez, assuming they again have very good seasons, will be having their heads turned and being courted. If we have basically stood still then do not be surprised if they want out. Whether Jack stays or goes it is vital that we are in a position to kick on this season so come the end of it we can retain our better player and build on them. We stand still and continually sell our best players then we'll never build beyond where we are now and will inevitably end up going backwards.

I hope we don't spend it all for the sake of it. We could have some really strong windows and progress more sustainably over a longer timeframe.

villan501 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Guys on a serious note let's say NSWE authorise the sale of jack I think as fans we must be respectful to the guys who saved us and trust them to rebuild stronger. I say this with regards to bad relations from some potential fans towards the owners. It's not unrealistic if this jack situation gets ugly that the owners say sod it this is not the way to be treated. I know it's a big if but in the past we have not always agreed with board room decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is arguably the best player we have had in the last 20 years....but he can't make up the effect of 3/4 really good players....we really can and will kick on. Its is win/win for us Eastie...either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
