I almost feel sorry for him being so wound up by a transfer story.

Stupid question maybe but can he actually sue anyone for that? Anyone know what the media law is?

Maybe we can sue him for having pictures of Grealish in the Villa shirt when he signs for City?

I think we have found this particular transfer window’s “graphic designer”
In most countries law there is something called Standing.
You need to have connection to something in order to be involved in litigation. Usually this is that you've suffered demonstrable harm.
In the case of image rights, the only people who'd have standing to sue would be Villa or Grealish, the two people who have a claim to be harmed by someone misusing his image.
Pretty sure the transformative nature of these player mockups you see in every paper/website/twitter would be considered fair use or something anyway.

Looks like sky sports will get sued too as they continually put players in opposition kits when discussing possible transfers.
Softarse.

I don't remember a meltdown as big as this for us potentially signing a player. Even the media driven bile over the Sterling signing wasn't as bad as the Villa fans have been.

You’re absolutely spot on there fella. You can only sue for compensation if you can demonstrate a tangible loss arising from the actions of another.
In fact the additional interest / clicks that Villa are getting from the name of their club and their player being highlighted across social media probably amounts to a fiscal gain.

In a funny (not) way,Grealish might never set foot in Birmingham again at this rate. The sense of entitlement they have over 'one of our own' is madness. Never seen anything like it. Never seen these levels of delusion and stupidity from a set of fans,and to think Liverpool fans are bottom tier

I use twitter but not for tribal football shit. Twitter can be as shit or as enlightening as you want it to be.
Follow interesting, thoughtful people, it will enrich your life.

He’s dissing tea now
I can't believe I'm saying this but at least I understand where the arrogance comes from with Liverpool fans, as overwhelming as it is.
