I am sure he will pop up soon. Especially in regards in what the plans for selling tickets (at all?) next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably busy negotiating our lucrative pre season with Kidderminster and Walsall. Those dollars don't earn themselves you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AntrimBlack Posted August 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2020 I think he is quite ruthless. A bit of a shit but he is our bit of a shit, and strikes me as the sort who will get things done. I like him. I like seeing him on the pitch celebrating. Quite right, too. Nothing wrong with that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soezetoc Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Forgive me if im mistaken. When this guy first joined wasnt there observations that the liverpool fans thought he was crap because he couldnt get deals over the line. Ie wasnt he trying to sign Barry for Liverpool. Which as we know was unsucessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to manage alright last season... ...although I do wonder what it was that @TrentVilla alluded to a little while ago, which was more of a negative trait that Purslow has. Are you able to drop a clue yet Trent? Edited August 25, 2020 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry wanted to continue playing midfield which Man City offered (plus loads of cash). He was nothing to do with whoever was talking about the contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was nothing to do with whoever was talking about the contracts Think it was the year before he actually left for city when he was heavily linked with Liverpool and then did an interview with some tabloid when he said O’Neill wouldn’t tell him who the club would be signing or give him any assurances over the club’s ambition. Liverpool wouldn’t pay what villa wanted so he ended up staying with us for one more season, albeit stripped of the captaincy.

hippo Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Guys like these are always there be shot at - but considering the clowns we have had in this position over the last 15 years or so, I m ok with him at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 There we have it we cant compete even with our money yet due to FFP. I saw this on Twitter. Purslow: It takes 4yrs to be able to pay average Prem salaries & comply with FFP. I have to comply with 1 year of Prem but 2 years of championship rules. The total wage bill we can pay is much, much lower than clubs in the prem for 3 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small number of clubs, the media and FA then pretend this is simply the natural order of things, not an artificially regulated footballing oligopoly. I’m no lawyer, but suspect there’s a legal case for reform. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 “Fair Play” ? Watching Chelsea revamp their squad with multiple £50m+ signings, hoovering up all the best talent in europe whilst Aston Villa, historically a much bigger club, must shop in the championship as they are not allowed to pay big wages to attract a better calibre of player, if they dare try it, they will be deducted points and fined. Yeah, sounds fair to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
