AV82 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'll forgive him if he does what needs to be done and replaces him with a capable manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow is great on the commercial side, let him stick to that! That was the warning from Liverpool fans. Despite his strengths, he won't keep his nose out of the footballing side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Villa he’s the chief exec and there’s no-one to hold him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me I have cheese and branston in the fridge. Also i am off work today so I will have a beer with it as well Cheers mate. This is probably the only positive from today. Now for the delicious choice, do I add marmite or mango chutney? Oh back on topic Purslow, do your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I don't want to see him sacked. He's clearly a good negotiator and very good at getting business done in the transfer market. But that should be the extent of his involvement on the football side. The owners should identify the next manager, and the new manager and director of football should identify the players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 If Purslow is as smart as he’d like us all to believe he’ll be lining up another manager, and working on his excuse for the Gerrard experiment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our owners may be inexperienced in football matters but they know what a good CEO looks like. I think he was brought in to steady the ship from the complete disaster that went before them. They identified him as an experienced football CEO who would be competent in a world that was new to them. They won’t have learned nothing during the time they’ve been here, including seeing CEOs of other clubs and how they operate. I can’t imagine they’ve been impressed with the last 12 months, watching their CEO use the club as a vanity project and effectively dismantle a huge amount of the work done to move the club forward. Letting his dream managerial appointment basically take over recruitment strategy, throw away millions of pounds in the process, while bringing virtually zero coaching ability. I’d say Larry Limelight’s position is now critically linked to that of SG who he could follow out of the door or even share a cab with him to the job centre. A period of traditional Villa turmoil could be on the way. Hopefully NSWE style turmoil is smooth, ruthless and ultimately successful. Watch this space.

Trying to figure out how he can stay aboard if the owners call and say why was this guy even given an interview? Why are we paying him £6m a year? Why did we bring all his shit analysts who clearly don't understand football either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) This guy isn’t very good at recruiting managers. Think Smith is probably his only decent hire at the right time.

No way would Gerrard would stop to do that job, he would feel it would be slap in face plus the new manager may not want Gerrard in that position. Clear house and get the new manager in.
