Villa Trust AGM, held last night. Purslow did a quick Q&A.

useless Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Recording of Christian Purslow talking to Villa Trust... 'Each year, the Aston Villa Supporters' Trust AGM gives supporter members exclusive access to ask questions of our CEO. Christian Purslow gave generous time and answers to kit manufacture, Bodymoor Heath development with HS2 in mind, his long-term strategy related to the Under-23s and much more.'

imavillan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 For those who don't want to listen to the podcast Ashley Preece has posted the outline of what he said in a series of tweets. The biggest thing i take out of this is paying the top players the top wages, ie; assuming we stay up, paying Jack enough to keep him out of the clutches of the so called big boys !!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 That’s such a key point on the wage bill needing to be lower than established PL clubs. No wonder we had to look for some cheaper players from abroad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I was a little cautious at first when Purslow came in because he's a pretty convincing talker and we'd had our fingers burned with one of those in Tom Fox. Unlike Fox, he seems to be actually walking the walking too and the fact that there's a long term strategy is heartwarming to say the least.

sne Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Big thing is that we actually seem to be doing stuff to move in a certain direction this time instead of just stating that we have a strategy or plan and then doing f all about it like our previous owners did. Words are nice and all but actions is what counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well absolutely we should try to be well run and avoid that, but it’s still the case that if Brighton (for example) are well run and avoid that then their salaries can be way higher than ours.

How so? I Imagine our wage budget is similar to theirs and was so even when were slogging it out in the Championship. Our potential revenue is surely much higher than theirs.

The piece I am quoting is Purslow’s point that under FFP we are *only allowed* to pay a fraction of their wages because it’s our first PL season so for 2 of our 3 assessed seasons we are operating on a Champ budget. Agreed if all things are equal our revenue will outstrip theirs comfortably but they have a 200m+ headstart with TV revenue from the last two years when we were in the Championship and we are also allowed less in losses under Champ rules.

Ah OK. Their owners don't seem to be willing or able to do so thou as every figure I can find has us on similar or higher wage average compared to them.
