Jack Grealish

[kun]

Yes all English managers who've come up through the leagues must be the same.

You're right, Wilder is a much better manager than Smith.

And fans aren't fickle

At least he isn't named 'the English Guardiola' before sinking his club the very next season. Reminds me, where is Eddie Howe

The only reason Jack isn’t coming is if we have decided he’s not worth the asking price..

Not really. He has publicly come out and spoken so highly about Kev that I just don’t see him missing out on such a unique opportunity if our interest is real.

Going from past experience of that Walter Mitty’s fictional deadlines it won’t be.

Oh the interest is real, very real. We just haven't met the buy-out clause yet!

He has said nothing, he has flirted with us, nothing more.

Top 4 could be a closed shop for the forseeable future in my opinion. Look at the squads United and Chelsea are building and then the sides us and Liverpool already have. Villa haven’t got a hope of breaking that anytime soon, they’ll be lucky to get in the european conference league. From a footballing perspective it would make no sense to stay at Villa over coming here, but I won’t begrudge him for staying loyal to the club he loves if that’s what he decides.

Football changes and quickly, I agree the top 4 should be a closed shop with the finances and players those clubs have but a couple of bad transfers, financial issues or a bit of a scandal and sh1t happens.
