Adam2003 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 He took over when we were a bad Championship side and now we are a top half PL team. If it fits a narrative we can pretend he has had nothing to do with the good parts of that, but without counter-evidence about what he’s doing day to day, it feels a little silly to suggest the CEO of any business that has significantly improved is doing a bad job - even if he did make one bad hire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their success is even more important because of the nature of some of the ownership models above them, the nation states (City and Newcastle, possibly Manchester United soon). Villa are respected for their balanced contributions in Premier League meetings, especially when it comes to debates about curbing clubs’ spending. Villa are an important and sound voice in the running of the Premier League. Just as they have an important and sound presence in the dugout. Erm.. But that sounds like Christian Purslow. But he's supposed to be sacked. Aston Villa highly respected and influencing the running of The Premier League? Bloody self publicist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Interesting to note we were present here. Quote Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parrish was amongst the speakers at the event. Representatives of Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Watford, Sevilla, Valencia and Werder Bremen were also present. Significantly, La Liga president Javier Tebas addressed the conference, with the league believed to be central to the project getting off the ground. Tebas has been a vocal critic of the European Super League plans, and is also not a fan of El-Khelaifi, arguing that changes to UEFA competitions are designed to benefit elite clubs. https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/a-massive-day-for-football-bohemians-daniel-lambert-hails-launch-of-new-body-for-small-and-medium-sized-european-clubs-42446514.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Everyone knows that Purslow is nothing more than a puppet for The Tea Lady. She’s been pulling the strings for too long and it was she who blackmailed Purslow into hiring Gerrard as she tried to get him in her bed. She also threatened Nassef and Wes after she threatened to release the dirty pics she has stored on her 1gb usb pen drive. the above is all made up btw (in case of libel). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I note the small print but as the rest of it has been written more prominently on the Internet I'm prepared to take it as absolute fact and repeat it ad nausea despite any future evidence or any actual logic.

I'm looking forward to the seeing the full interview and to Purslow answering the most important question - Is the choice of such an expensive and inefficient vehicle during your collection of the current Villa manager from the Iberian Peninsula, behind the high rise in season ticket prices? 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Go on the Purslow! For all the stick he sometimes gets from fans, we are in a much stronger position to have this man represent us. Love to see him leading the fight against the destruction of football.

Made In Aston Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 24 minutes ago, Tayls said: From a strictly business perspective he is probably one of the best in the game. It’s when he tried to involve himself in actual football matters is where things went wrong previously, and have gone wrong with us more recently. I think he massively influenced the decision to recruit Gerrard, which was a big mistake, as one example. Yes he is a bit of a footballing dinosaur and not particularly a progressive chairman. I feel like for all the good he does his limitations hold us back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
