But this is now significantly diluted with all the equity the owners have poured in since the takeover, it’s possibly now only 1 or 2 percent.

These type of shares for key personnel are normally not subject to dilution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 17, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2022 Final warning on this one - if you want to talk about your opinion of the manager, or whether he should be sacked, please do so in the thread about the manager. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I am fine with him having a stake in Villa. I think it shows he is committed for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that under a proper sporting director model Lange would appoint the manager But apparently he's a glorified scout who does nothing... But seriously moving forward if we kept the same infrastructure I'd expect Lange to be having a big say in the manager role not purslow on a one man crusade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t Purslow have a similar role to Levy at Spurs (no comparisons between the two apart from the job descriptions)? Hands-on ceo and part owner, has a DoF/sporting director but handles some important things like picking managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2022 He's a smart cookie. Government decides it might put in a formal oversight group to oversee football after the super league and smaller teams going bust; Purslow makes sure that he's on good terms with the people involved and right in the middle of governments plans. When they come to decide how they'll involve themselves, Aston Villa will have had a say in their thoughts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think smith was a weak appointment? Two appointments i think uts a bit too soon to say that. Gerrard hasnt been great but we need to give him abit of time. Even chelsea spurs and liverpool dont get it right. It happens. Its just if its 5 or 6 failure managers in a row. I think purslow is doing well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’m good with Purslow generally just surprised he took such a massive risk in a key decision at this pivotal point for the club. Fair play if it does pay off down the line but such a risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was risky and doesn't look to achieved anything but moving sideways so far but would Dean have stopped that run, would we have gone down, it may have saved us, who knows, I didn't want Gerrard, I wanted us to aim higher but now he is here I've seen glimpses of what could be and we must see what the summer brings. I do think Purslow will be ruthless though, he, Nas and Wes want what we want and they will do what needs to be done to get there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
