It was a missed opportunity in fairness. our game plan was solely based around having Grealish fit. As soon as he was out we struggled. If he had have been fit for the majority of the season and not lose him for three months then I'm confident we would have finished with a lot more points.

And that's why Smith is no longer here. You don't build your team around one player. Really poor planning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was just the lighting - there's a press room at Bodymoor they usually use for this but today they decided to move it to the Trinity Road Stand, I guess to accommodate more of the press - the lighting was a bit peculiar - all pink and orange and blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two wildly different light sources, probably a warm light for video badly positioned so the rest of the light in the room was either natural light from outside or indoor fluorescent making all their shadowy areas look bluer like around the eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had been at Star City with Stevie G most of the previous night at a late night film screening, the new boss nearly gave it away during the press conference.

He seems to be the go-to by the media for discussing this sort of thing. He has a pretty high profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute badass. Other than 'goodwill' and 'it being a nice thing to do', I see no good reason why Aston Villa should be giving money to Burton Albion. The EFL benefits from a lot of the work that the PL does, and the tesco argument (with a pinch of salt) very much applies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Why purslow? And yeah I agree mic the PL should make a contribution to the FA and the EFL because the money is obscene but Jordans argument of the PL pillaging the EFL doesn't ring true for me, you have to pay for the players, depending on where you put Norwich our last 2 EFL players cost us £60m Personally I think the answer is a bigger share of the CL money trickling down to the grassroots, the £50m to £100m prize money the 4 clubs will get every year is more damaging and should be shared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Millwall decide to spend £5m on a Crystal Palace player, that's just their business decision, not Crystal Palace being dicks.

I think both of them have a very reasoning dialogue , when they speak. I don't think Christian Purslow is man, that has the wool pulled over his eyes very easily. I think he came across very well on Talk sport.....better than most of our previous CEO's, would have. Edited November 25, 2021 by TRO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
