If he was off they would just do the deal, or at least announce discussions and would not be actively selling his shirts. bet they wont and i bet it's in the T&Cs. as yet, there have been no discussions, as per all reputable journos. city are apparently interested, but no contact has been made.

villalad21 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Realistically he will never get Champions League football at Villa. We are absolute miles behind City, Liverpool, Chelsea and United. And are not likely catching them the next 10 years. I think he is fully aware of this so if he choose to stay I'll respect the hell out of him, because it's not the "modern" thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the worse happen - the cost of shirt refunds would be totally insignificant. People having Grealish printed on their shirts has no bearing on him staying or going.

MrBlack Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I couldn't see our current owners doing something that shady (plastering him all over the release and then selling him). They are 100% confident of keeping him and so they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ole finished above 2 out of those 3 and he's hardly a managerial great. Including him, 4 of them have CL squads, which is the aim of the owners. Rodgers and Moyes came close last season with inferior squads, so it's not insurmountable if we continue our upward trajectory. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job leicester didn’t think like that- they have proved what a well run club with good owners can achieve and no reason villa cannot achieve the same 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners aim is exactly that and I certainly believe we will get there quicker than we would imagine. Of course it can be done and easily within Grealishs career. If you can't see what is being achieved here in such a short period of time then you have no understanding of our owners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
