Having multiple badges is terrible for Brand identity.. It means no clear direction in terms of Brand image.. Terrible decision.. This needs to be sorted ASAP

The kit is s*** Having two logo's is terrible brand image for the club.. Having two logo's can be interpreted as the club does not have a clear direction in terms of image!! Heck needs to sort this out..

Hmm the statement is odd.. I guess this a marketing decision. Maybe if Purslow was here the new crest would be everywhere. Heck probably thinks the badge could be improved.. This is wierd AF.. How many clubs have two different badges ?

Yeah this is mad from I have read so far.. I can see a Super League version being set up in Saudi.. UEFA wouldn't be able to have any say too..

Exciting appointment because of his reputation and stature.. He has a lot of control and is part of a restructure at the club.. I wonder if this means that there will be some type of overhaul? I did watch some of Monchi's videos, he prided his youth recruitment on local talent because they would have a good balance between family and football. I wonder if we will continue to try poach the best talent in the Midlands and devlop them into first team players.. NSWE have made strong appointments at board level so far so i am confident this will follow suit..

It’s very much real now in terms of what we need in terms of depth. We have some decent prospects that can help fill the gaps.. Its a great opportunity for our youngsters to break into the squad and contribute but realistically we are going to need some 5 more additional signings.

Why is there a good chance that this will fall though if it doesn't't happen today? & why does this have to be completed today?

I am excited by this potential appointment.. I have watched his masterclass videos on YouTube and he has a vast amount of knowledge and depth and he no doubt cream of the crop. My worry is whether he will try to change the current Academy structure with Mark Harrison, and whether his thesis will translate well over to British football culture. He is used to building the academy for players to succeed in Spanish football, I do think the approach would need be a very different in England.. But I am also aware that with risk comes reward..

The club functions like any other business so I am sure there are Operational departments such as Finance, IT , HR ect so we are not really going to know the full structure of the day to day running of the football club. The changes that are being mentioned are more ExCo related but i am sure the day to day runnings will be BAU..

Does anyone think with CP leaving and Monchi pending that we will continue to focus bringing through talent? Does our recruitment policy change?

You are not the only one. He understood the values, classiness, heritage of THIS football club. I am unsure whether Heck and the new DOF will grasp what this club really means to English football and most importanty the fans. CP was a throwback.. He knows about the 82 European Cup, he knows about Deadly Doug he knows the club inside out..

Wow.. I am not happy with this decision but it is what it is.. doesn’t he have a stake in the club?

He will bring depth of quality in the midfield park.. He will give competitive to the other players.. We have more games next season and we need to remain competitive.. im hoping that a strong Pre season will have him raring to go

Very good signing on a free..

His development this season has been absolute mind blowing. The fact that he is our player and we haven't spent any money in signing him is an absolute credit to our Academy. He has all the fundamentals to be a top midfielder and we can build around him. He has just turned 22 but for most part of the season as a 21 year old he has been racking up the stats below.. Those are ridiculous numbers for a player that young.. The kid is special and he will continue to get better and fill out as his career progresses. It is important that we not only keep hold of him but we build around him because he is our future captain.

This is my approach with this years summer transfer window. If it happens it happens..

He’s a top player there is no doubt about his quality.. I question his mentality, he contributed to Leicesters relegation. Did he down tools so he could get a big move for UCL football?? Because if so that’s backfired.

It’s a hard market with foreign top class players/staff. Players are not only thinking about Champions League.. but they are thinking about the lifestyle and the city. It’s going to be tough to sell the image of choosing Birmingham or West Midlands over Milan, Paris, Rome,Monaco, Madrid or Barcelona.

My favourite Villa player of all time! I grew up idolising him. When we would play 5 aside at Walmley, we all wanted to be Ashley Young.. I never thought I would see him in a Villa shirt again.. but I did.. Never would I have thought I would see him score again.. but against Forest he did.. He set the standards at this football club. I understand why his contract hasn’t been renewed but I don’t at the same time.. To me.. He is the modern day Villa legend.

We need to sign him..

YEEAAAAAAHH!!

The nerves seems to have got to some of our players.. The referee is the 12th man for Brighton

Maybe I am being a bit too harsh.. but coventry look poor. If the football Gods get them a win today they won't record one win in the Prem..

This one looks beyond us at the moment.. Common sense prevails.. Chelsea are heavily stacked in the midfield area.

He looks good
