If he stays out of pure football decisions he’ll be judged on more business related matters. But if he insists on making football decisions, like choosing the manager, he will also be judged on our on field success. Because then he’ll be partly responsible for it.

Who picks the manager then if its not the Chief Exec? Doris the tea lady? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CEO and board have to agree of course. But the search would ideally be led by a director of football/sporting director. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secured top money for an academy prospect who had a year left and wanted out. Secured planning and begun work on a revolutionary inner city academy redevelopment. Continued advancing the academy of the club and enhancing its reputation as one of the finest in the country showcased by 3 stars of the u-19 Euro midfield. Overseen our highest average attended season since the PL began. Leading long overdue plans to transform Villa park into a 50,000 seater stadium with 21st Century fan experience and upgraded transport options. Handled a £100m sale driven solely by the player and his contract in a professional and transparent manner with the fan base.

I'd imagine we have seen a massive rise in our worldwide profile with the signing of Coutinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stephen_Evans Posted August 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2022 I am genuinely bemused by criticism of Christian Purslow, particularly with regard to Gerrard's appointment. He is not ordering Sawiris and Edens around like some all powerful Prime Minister working under a figurehead monarch. Sawiris is executive Chairman and there is no way he and Edens are going to let their CEO make major decisions that they are not fully behind. If people don't like Purslow's mannerisms or accent, perhaps it's PTSD from the Ellis era! But whereas Doug was majorly egotistical, all I hear from Purslow is about talking up Aston Villa. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of examples of CEOs being the largest shareholders, including in companies they started, and getting pushed out of an operational role. In my experience when a CEO leaves they are given 3 months to sell their shares or exercise their options if they are publicly traded OR if they own they shares outright then they retain them even if they no longer work at the company. But typically (unless they are founders) the % of ownership will be relatively small, its still a huge amount of money if things go well but worth very little in a privately held business that has flat growth. After all who do you sell your shares to? Unless the company pays dividends ownership really isnt worth much until you can sell. Which is why boards like CEO's to have the majority of their upside in shares. It aligns everyone's interests. If I was on the Aston Villa board Purslow would be getting top marks from me.

I think on paper they thought high profile name that couls attract big name players to the club - which in fairness he has. He is just a hopeless manager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
