Could still go two ways.

A) Sky Sports bullshit to add meat to the bare bones of a 24/7 news station
B) Unofficial Villa leak to bump the price. Sky would be discredited but they don’t care about that. They’ve filled a few hours and they’ll just run with their usual ‘U-turn’ line to save face.
Of course it could all be accurate. That said I remember at the very beginning of this whole saga over a month ago Sky ran to the press with "Spurs bid £15m for Grealish". Which turned out to be 100% false.

That was a completely ego fuelling exercise from Jeremy Pearce - he turned down very good money for a player of Berahino's profile, who hadn't actually scored that many goals for West Brom, and thought he'd go toe-to-toe with Levy to 'get one over' on him.

He completely fucked us, West Brom and Berahino - look at what happened after. Pride got the better of him and it'll probably be his legacy at West Brom.

Honestly take out WBA, Berahino and Peace and replace it with Villa Grealish and their new moneybags owner and it looks eerily similar

I genuinely think Levy invites this himself by the way he acts - he's got this reputation of being very difficult to negotiate with and I think chairman of other clubs relish the challenge and want to come out on top.

All egotistical knob-heads , the lot of 'em!

Oh SSN. Rob Dorsett says he got this Villa not selling from the very top then it suddenly becomes 'sources close to', well it's not from the very top then, is it? Oh and apparently the Villa owner refuses to sell Grealish at all, for the duration of his 2 year contract, oh boy Villa fans will riot if Grealish leaves on a free.

They genuinely think he'll steer them to promotion if he stays though - not sure they'll mind too much if he stays with them for a couple of years until his contract ends.

Fact is, it'll be too late for Grelaish then, he'll be almost 25, he's ready for the next step now - he can't risk playing a whole season, maybe two seasons in the Championship.

I think it's very likely to have come from villa. putting as much pressure on our dear leader as possible, without completely closing the door (officially).

These new owners haven't dealt with Levy before, they'll soon find out that trying to bluff him is pointless.

Everyone criticising sky but they are the ones first to break the news that Vila have gone back on their word and rejected our 25mln offer
