Exeter Blue I am here said:
Ha ha, absolute comedy gold.

Villa have had larger average attendances than us in just 10 of the last 50 seasons, and they've won 1 x FA Cup in the last 100 years and 1 x league title in the last 110 years. Unfortunately, the latter led to them winning the European Cup into the bargain, which they never shut up about, although closer examination suggests that even Bristol City could have gone close had their route to the final comprised such luminaries as FC Valur, BFC Dynamo, Dynamo Kiev, Anderlecht and, er, that's it.

I hate all that arbitrary 'big club' guff as a matter of course, but if you're going to invoke it, then at least select a comparator whose hey-day wasn't when they had string for crossbars and goalkeepers in knickerbockers

He should face a lifetime ban on here for that comment alone.

Villa is the perfect example of a club that is yesterday's news with delusions of grandeur.

Three years in the Championship has a very sobering effect on a club's 'delusions of grandeur'.

...aquiring two business savvy, ambitious, relatively wealthy owners can re-ignite ambition and hope among a supporter base, though...so there is that!

Wes Edens is also involved with the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team. They also had their own star man, coveted by many much 'bigger' franchises, as they call them in America.

They did everything possible to keep their man, and are now one game away from being NBA champs.

Villa won't let Grealish walk away without a fight. That's a fact.

So why haven’t they said even if Man City offer 200k Grealish is going nowhere? It’s because he has a buyout

Why would any club let their player go without a fight, unless there's some kind of clause in a contract? If the clause doesn't exist, i think the Villa hierarchy will be trying to sell their vision to Grealish as the poster boy for a new era. But, surely this is what they've always been doing? He's clearly had his head turned, but that doesn't mean he can't be persuaded to stay...he just needs the right incentive. However if he does stay, he's not serious about winning trophies. There is a possibility that Villa will be challenging for top 6 positions soon, maybe they'll get into Europe, but that's a reality at City. Now that's a fact.

"Villa won't let Grealish walk away without a fight. That's a fact."

Neither should they and I would be concerned if they did.

The only reason a club lets a player goes easily is if the offer is way above the actual value of the player or the club feels the player is actually not that good and would be happy for them to move on.
