I hope that this wasn't a revelation to anyone at the club, as it's on his transfermarkt profile:

"FC Porto holds 80% of the transfer rights." Doesn't mention who owns the other 20%, though.
Could be his old Colombian club, Junior FC. Could be some agent bullshit.

We had the money for Grealish but Levy can’t help himself
thinks he’s smarter than he actually is and happily gambles with our fortunes on the pitch for his own ego
terrible mindset for an owner of a football club

He's alot smarter, in business, than most, if not all, of us on here.
Who else , who is moaning about the chairman and owner, runs a £multi-billion company?

We still made bids during the takeover period. So one of two things are correct:

Levy’s an idiot for making bids if Villa couldn’t/ wouldn’t sell the player during talks.

Grealish was still for sale while takeover talks were happening.

I’m more inclined to believe the latter, because regardless of whether people on here like Levy or not, the man isn’t an idiot and wouldn’t have made offers for a player that was off the table.

Perfectly reasonable to blame Levy for not bidding higher as that might have been accepted. Every player has a price.
It's the claim that an earlier bid of the same amount would have got the deal done that I think is wrong.

He is also a lot smarter at running a football club than most others who try to. Even our transfer record is more than OK over the ENIC period. It's just we are now at the point when we need to find players who are genuinely worth £40m plus to improve the starting XI and that is very hard.

Which is why we need a top notch Director of Football to overhaul the way that we do things.
We can't really sign established superstars, so we need to do things differently.

"Valencia are pushing for Tanguy Ndombélé!
The Spanish club has already agreed with Tottenham (loan for 6 months).
The player always favors PSG and gives himself time to think."

Supposedly a reliable source, but this sounds like bullshit.

Hope he does well, as he's been successful in the PL2 this season.
The Mackems just signed Patrick Roberts and they're both right-wingers, so I don't really get this.

As long as it isn;t relatives, because if they own the 20% we may as well wait for his Porto contract to expire two years from now...

It's not wrong though because the asking price would've been there for Spurs to match from day one where we initially offered just £3m and Onomah, we further lowballed for about 6 or so weeks and when we did finally meet it around a week before the deadline, Villa no longer needed the money and essentially gave us the middle finger.

It's a deal Levy entirely ballsed up. A deal that's also somewhat haunted us because Grealish may have prevented us from signing one or even both of Ndombele and Lo Celso the following year, not forgetting we could've potentially made a huge profit on him considering what he eventually went to City for. Levy probably more than any Spurs fan must have been livid when he saw that.
