Lord Willard Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Wonder if they've also bought out his % of the club. Nice pay day for him. With a director of football and director of business there is no need for him anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never been so professional as now. Looking at our Ninja style transfer dealings. With Purslow I expect he's got a 6 month notice period. Keys see if he pops u somewhere in 6 months then we'll know he handed his notice If he's pops up somewhere quickly he's more likely sacked unless The Board release him from his gardening period early. He probably handed in his notice sometime after Gerrard got sacked, and then they came to an agreement that he would leave at the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick two people at the club and just say which one you would like to leave most? I don't know the point you're making other than Lange is your go to scapegoat? Are you on the board and we had to fire someone this morning and it was specifically down to Lange or Purslow for which one would go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd seen Gerrard and Purslow leave within weeks of each other that would have put the club into complete turmoil in the run up the January window. I think it's been planned for the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though at least with Monchi we know he has huge experience and respect in the game in his own right. Its not quite the same but Man Citys entire structure was lifted from Barcelona, with Txiki Begiristain in particular, partly for his own excellence in his role, partly as a play to convince Pep to go. Nothing wrong with us doing similar if the individuals are also high quality. I'd be more concerned with the rest of Unais team as they have worked together for 20 years, they'll follow him if he leaves. Monchi has only worked with Unai for a few years when their paths crossed in Sevilla. I doubt he follows Unai if Unai goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes that's bound to have happened Literally every CEO who hands in his notice stays on for 8 months after he's said he wants to go. That's definitely it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Wonder what this means for the stadium plans? Purslow was the man running the show there and he seemed to have been doing a excellent job dealing with the council and the rail companies. Hope we dont live to regret this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard sacked, Nas gets Emery without Purslow, Purslow feels undermined, thinks about it for a couple of weeks and then resigns. 6 month's notice so Purslow carries on doing his job, but is noticeably absent in Villa announcements for those 6 months. 6 months notice and season ends so Purslow leaves.

Or he has been offered a new attractive role elsewhere, five years now is more than an average amount of time in one job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the same because your example ia onw of our greatest players of the modern era and the other is a keeper who hasnt played for us for almost two years. Purslow ans lange have been had crucial roles at the club but i just think purslow adds more value. Whenervee i see lange at pressers he looks deeply uncomfortable and im not convinced with him 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
