MWARLEY2 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 He isnt rentaquote any more . He speaks only when needed and when he does he is clear and concise and informative. And he doesnt wish Jack well which says to me that he isnt the romantic type. Him and the owners are pissed off and will not let him put off their ambitions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayEm Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Is there a transcript of Purslow's statement anywhere? Can only find the video or quote snippets. Not currently able to listen to him. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcohen Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Classy move today. Happy with how we handled that. But here’s a thought. £30 for an away ticket in the prem. We get, what, 5,000 tickets for an away game on average? There are 19 away games a season. That’s 2.85m. The club can pay for every away fans ticket for 35 years with this cash. That would take the sting off for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would they have included him in the home kit launch if they had an inkling. Yet he was excluded from the away kit deal. Something definitely changed between the home and away kit launch, that's when the club knew something was up. Jack certainly been planning on getting away - **** up when he said it’s been a tough few months thinkin it over in the sky interview . purslow came across very well tonight - explained things clearly Edited August 5, 2021 by Eastie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted August 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 Amazing reaction Purslow's got accross the board from other clubs fans and media - just goes to show how shitty the game has got that this simple well timed address to Villa fans has been received so well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Johnnyp Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 Might sound a bit robotic and manufactured but like how he said we analysed grealish’s strengths and went out and got 3 players so would never be reliant on just one again. Good planning. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ozvillafan Posted August 6, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 We have some real quality in the club now at every level who are extremely well spoken: Purlow, Smith, Mings for instance. Add to that the ambition and backing of the owners and the coaching staff and we really have a club we can be proud of. Who would have thought this as little as 5 years ago? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 You know the more I look at it I think Purslow did a great thing here. I think he has played this honestly and in good faith. He is surely disappointed with Jacks decision but like all good CEOs he made damn sure his business wins whichever way a contract goes. Fairplay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hiney Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'm very happy with who we have in charge of the club and I'm confident the future is bright with these guys. As others have said, the main thing I took from this video was that they are clearly unhappy about something. Maybe the way things have been handled, or being kept in the dark by Grealish's team on things but this seemed very much like "setting the record straight". Also the fact there was no thank you, no good luck speaks volumes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Very telling how he didn’t wish him well. Some media suggest Jack will be back, I doubt that under NSWE tenure if I’m honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Late to the party but I’ve just watched Purslow’s message. Well done that man, that’s a solid statement and great piece of communication. I love the Freudian slip, Jack ‘greedlish’ and the cold, calculated way he presented. Purslow’s leadership gives me huge confidence that we’re in the best hands, and with NSWE’s backing, we’re a really professional outfit these days.

MachoFantastico Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'll be amazed if the club allow such a clause in a contract as they did with Jack again. You don't get into the top six when you continue to sell your best players. I imagine the owners will be looking to stop such a deal happening again if they're serious about European football.

Yeah ditto @Fairy In Boots I don’t think I gave you any stick over all this (I say optimistically!), but like above I wasn’t exactly enjoying your posts a great deal either. But fair’s fair you’d been calling it for more than a while now and taken a bit of stick for it. So credit where it’s due. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
