Jack Grealish

Though I saw that the Football League was trying to find a way to help them out. Short term loan?

The owner got a £50m loan to cover day to day business until he can either get his money or sell the club

Its Weston-Super-Mare...lovely this time of year

You maybe right. Place gets bombarded with brummies this time of year.

Indeed, and the bigger question... if you can't pay the tax man, how long before you can't pay the wages

 

[nickspurs]

Is it possible that Daniel Levy could do a 'free' bit of consultancy work to help Villa out of the position they are in as part of the Grealish deal

In terms of getting some advice, Levy is basically gold standard in terms of running a football club not to mention having the qualifications to back it up, a long term relationship with Villa could be a great thing for both clubs.

They need help, we want their star player, we have loan options they could use.

He could do the final turn of the Grealish agreement for them... ??

Tottenham must splash £30million to land Jack Grealish as Mauricio Pochettino targets Aston Villa star

Grealish is set to be sold as Villa needs to raise funds to bail out embattled Chinese owner Dr Tony Xia

Spurs will have to go to £30million to land Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants the starlet to compete with Dele Alli.

Pochettino has turned Alli, 22, into an England superstar but wants more competition for the attacking role behind Harry Kane.

It has led Spurs to Grealish, 22, who finished the season in sparkling form for Villa in the Championship.

Grealish is now set to be sold as Villa needs to raise funds to bail out embattled Chinese owner Dr Tony Xia.

Spurs have suggested an initial £15m offer but sources have told Mirror Sport they expect Grealish to eventually go for double that as he has other top-flight admirers including Leicester.

Villa are likely to insist on the majority of the fee being cash upfront.

Grealish scored three goals and had six assists last term after returning in November from a serious kidney injury in pre-season, which required surgery.

Both Villa boss Steve Bruce and last season's club captain John Terry have tipped the youngster to play for England in future.

Seems to have gone a bit quiet

might be because he is on holiday and couldn't sign the papers. Levy might want him, but not at the cost of a return flight to Ibiza

Still cant believe he was even approved after all the questions about his financing during the sale

Dangerous to loan them money right now - they are already losing money monthly - and have already borrowed against the last parachute payment.

Owner needs to get his finances sorted - figure out how to get money out of China...

Sets a very bad precedent also. If they do it for Villa, they would have to do it for every club that hits financial trouble.

Indeed. To compare to another industry, ask Lehman Brothers.

 

[dtxspurs]

If we get this guy and then happen to get Martial/Zaha as well that means Lamela is gone for sure right? Not trying to start and argument just trying to figure out how we're going to fit all these guys. Think at that point Grealish would do well with a loan spell back or to another prem club to help development.

That was the sort of direct opposite. The us government didn't bail them out causing them to fail and created total financial meltdown effecting nearly every bank on the planet.

You are probably right sadly regarding Lamela.

I have always thought he was an important member of the squad because of his creativity. However Alli has developed a lot over the past year in this regard and Grealish will give us more in that department. We've could have a couple of alternatives to Eriksen now.

I'd be more accepting of Lamela leaving if Grealish arrived, but I do still think his work rate and aggressive nature could be sorely missed. We will need to think carefully about it as you need those characters around the squad.

They do have assets though (Grealish amongst them). It might provide a slightly longer window of opportunity to sell them, at a slightly higher price?

Edit - sorry, answering post and see discussion has moved on

But the logic (rightly or wrongly) was that if you bail out a bank (in reality a gambling enterprise) then it encourages every bank to take even more risk in the future as they know the establishment will bail them out. If that was the case future crashes would be even worse. They decided not to bail them out so as not to create a precedent. It’s what economists call moral hazard. But now we’re way off topic (sorry!) so will leave it there.
