Meaning Evil. Stirring trouble

[The Edge]

The Birmingham mail leads with FOUR stories linking Jack Grealish with a transfer. One article even states that he has been house hunting in Manchester.
It has got to be the worst local newspaper in the country. Fucking rag.

It's not local anymore

It's not local anymore

It's owned by Reach plc formerly the Trinity Mirror group (according to wiki anyway) They also own the Manchester evening news so that's no more local to Man Utd than the Birmingham mail is to us. So why are they hell bent on making the Grealish transfer to United happen? I'm guessing that it's down to the staff at Reach plc being largely of the red persuasion which makes perfect sense as it's headquarters are in London.

Not that it means much, but, I know for a fact that he’s not long bought a place in Barnt Green

Should come as no surprise.  I remember when we got to the FA Cup final in 2015 and their lead story on the back page the day before the final was about Benteke leaving.

Its because negative Villa stories are what gets the most clicks and sharing on social media. Newspapers these days are just professional media trolls - most have hardly any proper journalists left. I worked in publishing about a year ago and I gave the writers a list of stories to write every week based only on what was receiving the most traffic on social media. I also publsihed web traffic by writer - kind of hunger games if you like.

What is?

Gregg Evans went to Dubai to see how PL footballers spend their time in the winter break. There's a picture of Mings & Jack in his article.

Mings replied to Gregg.

Not sure how Tyrone Mings was 'spotted'  he didn't even go to Dubai.

Fake news then

The Athletic is a paid for version of The Evening Mail.

To be fair to Gregg Evans (not a rare occurence) he wouldn't have had any say in the choice of photo.

I think the Athletic is pretty good to be fair. This is just a fluff piece though.

What a ridiculously pointless story. 


Aston Villa have been warned by a football finance expert they could lose Jack Grealish on the cheap this summer - unless Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens act.

Premier League clubs have suffered a significant dent in income due to the coronavirus pandemic, with a recent estimate placing the damage at over £1bn across the 20 sides.

It means that buyers could be sniffing around for a bargain when the transfer window reopens and Villa are braced for interest in Jack Grealish.

The skipper is wanted by Manchester United, whose manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently claimed the financial clout his side is able to boast means they could "exploit" selling clubs when trading resumes.

Kieran Maguire, a University of Liverpool lecturer on football finance, says Villa could face pressure from United or other interested clubs to sell £60m-rated Grealish for a cut-price fee - but investment from owners Sawiris and Edens could change that.

He explained to the Express: “For Aston Villa it may be more complicated than that in respect of Jack Grealish.

“First of all there is a chance they could get relegated so there would be the financial consequences of that. Secondly, the club is likely to have lost money in the Premier League this season because of the pandemic."

Maguire pleaded: “Now, the one thing Villa have got in their favour is they are owned by two incredibly wealthy owners. So, if the two owners are willing to pump money into the club then that might maintain Jack Grealish’s price.

“If they are not then I think Villa would have to compromise on the price they want for Jack in the summer should they decide to sell.”

Grealish, who has nine goals and eight assists to his name this season, signed a new contract at Villa Park two years ago lasting until 2023.
