Jack Grealish

[Streetspur77]

Right, I found the stuff I was looking for. From Xia before the new guys came in.

6. FFP is a burden and we need to work within the defined parameters over the course of the next 12 months and beyond and as we have done in the previous 12 months

7. To be clear, to meet FFP we need to player trade. No shareholding sale of any size will contribute to meeting FFP. We must reduce costs and increase revenue

8. Selling any size of shareholding in the club will not aid in respect to FFP

Someone please post this in the Grealish thread on Villa talk

 

[We need another Hoddle]

Journo on Twitter (I know) saying Grealish about to sign a new contract

One minute he's fuming, the next minute hes signing a new contract?

Interestingly the Sky article has evolved during the day and the direct quotes from the Chairman have been edited to 'sources close to the Chairman said'. Bit of back tracking on their original story?

The idea Rob Dorsett stood there in his Sky Sports coat has the direct ear of one of the top bods at Villa is pretty far fetched. Good job Sky

I mainly want him to come to us to see the reaction from this bloke on VillaTalk likes to make out he's ITK and has maintained all summer he's going certain Grealish is going nowhere... it's quite annoying lol


"If only they had read this forum for the last month or so they would have realised he was going nowhere.

There we go, Villa need to sell.

If the owners are rich, they can artificially increase revenue with sponsorship like Chelsea.

Fred Flintstone at the BBC and various ITK have backed it up by saying he's not happy so one can't happen without the other.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Oh my, if he signs a new contract that will be seriously hilarious.

 

[etchedchaos]

SSN saying they have quotes from Grealish, 'disappointed and disillusioned'. That he still wants to move to Spurs and a bunch of how great we are e.g Poch, Kane, Eriksen, Alli.

Like we mentioned above, such deals must represent fair market value.
For example if the going rate for the naming rights at Villa Park was £5 million, you couldn't wriggle round it by selling them for an inflated £100 million.

I don't think that's an actual option, the EFL FFP are pretty strict.

Wonder if he will put in an official transfer request

That’s the smart money!

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

So it looks like we possibly want 3 signings before the window closes. I’m going for Cheese Room Manager, A Sous Chef and a Sky Lounge waiter??

I think this is the only way of getting a deal done - it'll hurt his reputation at Villa, but that's the only way the owners win now since they've said he's not for sale and not leaving.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Unless news starts breaking this evening I think in terms of incomings it's Jack or jack shit tomorrow.
On a normal deadline day it's hard to imagine a last minute deal for us, this one even more so cos window shuts at 5.

I think absolutely this is what the board want, they want to make him out to be the bad guy and I think that's real poor form.
