Just seen the following article on Grealish. In it, they say that villa are aiming to keep hold of grealish in addition to their recent purchase of Buendia.
I thought this was far fetched until I saw that villa's new owner is worth $9.2 billion. This is EXTREMELY concerning. Not only do spurs have a stingey billionaire that invests zero of his own money....... other clubs around us are being bought by (or at least linked with) very wealthy business people. So now, not only are ENIC inhibiting success on the pitch, they're standing in the way of being purchased by a billionaire willing to take the club to the next level. I would not be at all surprised if ENIC priced abramovich out of a move to spurs also.
Unlike Spurs, these other clubs' fans haven't had to watch their club make incremental improvements for 20 years to come to the cusp of success before inevitable annual disappointment due to the characteristic incomplete squad that cannot compete across all competitions (despite the expectation from Levy to both win a cup AND reach top four).
With cheaper teams being bought up by ambitious owners, I can only see this leaving spurs at the back end of the pack.
PAY UP OR GET OUT.
When/where is the next protest? I'm there.
Manchester City face a fight to land £100m-rated transfer target Jack Grealish - with Aston Villa determined to hold on to the England midfielder.
