avfcwills10 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I thought the FCG meeting was on the 4th June? Is there a reason there was another one so soon last night or am I missing anything? Anyway, did anybody go/ is there anything interesting that came out of the meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely unacceptable behaviour from Purslow. Worrying that he can not keep to a schedule. Purslow out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted June 12, 2019 Author Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2019 The meeting happened last night and whilst it wouldn't be fair of me to offer up the details prior to the notes being released, I'll give you a couple of bits about the feel of the meeting if I may. Firstly, Christian Purslow and Paul Tyrrell came to us a few minutes late from another meeting, and Mr Purslow left a few minutes early at 21:15 to go to another meeting - these are very busy people - getting promoted comes with a lot of work - work they're doing right now - work that consumes their time. We were in the room for nearly three hours. That's a lot of time to give to us, you can pay lip service to fans in a much shorter time if you want to. These two gave a huge chunk of their evening to a group of fan representatives and insisted on answering every single question on our agenda - for me, that says good things about them and hopefully good things about how the club thinks of fans. He's an impressive fella our CEO, he's clear, he's sharp and he'll let you know what he thinks. He doesn't sugar anything for us and he 's very protective of those areas of the club where he needs to be protective. I've been in meetings with a few of these chaps now and some of them could be accused of trying to be a bit matey, a bit "ahhh football eh lads!". Not this one; Purslow is all business. I think he'd throw me under a bus if was the right thing for the club, I think he'd fight the entire league on our behalf, I can't imagine him being intimidated by any agent or player. He's never been anything but polite, charming and erudite in these meetings, he's exactly as you see him in interviews, but there's something about him that says stone cold killer. I like this a great deal in the man that runs my football club. When the notes are out, there are a few parts where I'll add my feelings and impressions on some of the things that were talked about - there's some quite positive stuff. In short, it was three hours where the club talked through every issue - no distractions in the answers, no stories about the old days, or in-jokes, just straightforward professionalism and answers that were always clear and to the point. There's nothing earth shattering to come - but lots of small bits of progress that hopefully point in the right direction. 21 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Almost don't want to jinx it but it looks like at last we have the right people running the club. It's taken a while-basically since Steve Stride left the club 12-13 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about you but noone can ever be bothered to send out minutes quickly following the meetings i go to at work. Two weeks seems fairly normal for a set of minutes and actions which barely resemble what was actually discussed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If rumours are correct about Purslow's FFP comments, that would be very big news. Not earth shattering, but it would mean that thousands of Villa fans could breathe a huge sigh of relief. Any comment OBE? Even if it's just an emoji!
