OutByEaster? Posted May 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 6, 2021 Weird story that. I think it's very unlikely but it's a strange one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripping up a global multi million pound contract before an event less than a month away so that a few thousand fans could watch this live is a very naive assumption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 6, 2021 I think at best it might be a little nudge to UEFA from someone outside the 'super' group that we've got your back, we're your mates, you can come kip on our sofa if you like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone thinks it's likely. But it's fun to imagine it actually happening. Seeing Villa Park broadcast across the world to 380 million people would be very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could maybe host the new europa vauxhall conference thingy in a few years. About the same level as the old CWC- which the last final was held at?.......

Sulberto21 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 If Christian Purslow pulls this off (0% chance) he deserves a 50 ft statue in the centre of Birmingham put up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2021 Not sure how relevant the UEFA stadium Rating would be important for this as I would assume a lot of that relates to capacity, transport links, facilities etc for fans who are not going to be there, at least not in any great numbers. It would make sense in these times to hold the match in the UK with English teams competing but I can't see them moving it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2021 It's not going to happen. Apparently we would need to massively increase the pressroom which is too small and other modifications relating to media within 3 weeks. Not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 If there was a 0% chance of this then why would they even bother. Purslow and co. don't seem like tinpot businessmen to me. Must be an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem the opposite to me Biggest game of club football in the world and we stuck our hand up and said **** it our place is a great venue we'll do it We should still be hosting FA Cup semi finals, might have our name chucked in the hat for a EL conference final and as someone else said somewhere it could get purslow talking to UEFA who have 12 new openings on various boards and committees Nothing ventured nothing gained, I think it's a smart hand to play by purslow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
