KentVillan Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 12 hours ago, NeilS said: Wouldn’t the owners just buy out his small share if they wanted to?. I can’t imagine the shareholding makes Purslow bulletproof, it is more of a reward if we as a club do well. Yeah, it’s very easy to clear minority shareholders out of a business. Doesn’t give them any control, it’s just a way to reward them for performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can make mistakes but to not sack somebody because he is a mate is a problem Manager should have been axed last day of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The only decision he has to make is whether to sack Gerrard at Villa Park this evening or at Bodymoor Heath on Monday morning. The new club crest can wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a good thing that he won't go easy on Gerrard when the times comes if he's got a stake in the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow is very rich. He certainly doesn’t need the Villa job for financial reasons and if his shares lost all their value it wouldn’t hurt him much. He’s at Villa because it’s an opportunity for him as a football fan to be involved with football on a high level, meet famous players, and maybe as a bonus be seen and talked about in the media. What he adds to the table is financial expertise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new club crest can wait. I’d go for both. Sacked tonight then a public flogging in the centre circle at Villa Park tomorrow. I’d make Purslow do the flogging too since he loves the limelight so much. P.S. he should also be yelling, “The man from Delmonti, says NO.” Edited September 3, 2022 by DaveAV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I’m not a fan. It just always feels like it’s more about Purslow than it is about Villa. Maybe I’m reading something that ain’t there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 So how much more time is this guy going to give his best buddy then. Other clubs making decisive moves for new managers while we will be left with the scraps as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 It does seem like Purslow has too much power and trust from owners. But then I guess that’s the role of the CEO right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
