TRO Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Mic09 said: The PL can't even get their own owners properly tested so that might not work. The only way the PL can help is by the use of $$$. If it's building grassroot facilities, supporting lower league players, whatever it is, the PL has to throw $$$ at it. There is now other way. And once it does, you will need to answer questions 2 & 3:2. If it's money, then how much?3. If it's an 'x' amount, why that much? And no one has the right answer to that question. And should the PL start taking too much money from Crystal Palace, Villa or Liverpool in order to help lower leagues, I can assure you, the clubs will simply build a new model along the lines of the ESL. Again, I agree with your sentiment, but it's too complex of an issue, especially as the PL is already doing a lot for English football. Is it enough? I don't know. But taking more will not go down well with the Purslow's of this world. judging by his answers, I think he is up for reform....its just certain proposals like Tranfer tax he was opposed to. It seems he spoke in favour as a general view of the proposal and praised MP Tracey Crouch for it. He did say, he was in favour of a holistic reform, as opposed to just changing the odd selective thing....Its one of them where agreement has to be reached. Ps I think its a bit rich Gary Neville having taken a kings ransom out of the game, now banging the drum, for Salford....... talk about Gamekeeper turning Poacher.

I spend my working life cleaning up sites that were destroyed as a result of unregulated historical industry. The same level of damage does not happen to nearly the same extent now due to industrial regulation. Without regulation people act solely to serve their own interests (or what they perceive as their own interests). Or put another way- weak regulation=super league. If regulation makes it harder for wealthy benefactors to come in and buy clubs...well we'll only get the most motivated ones- ie those who can manage in a more considered way. I am not opposed to regulation in principle, just sceptical if it makes no difference. i.e it has to work, in some circumstances its difficult to see if it does......Was Grenfell tower regulated when they fitted the cladding? just saying I am not wholly convinced the industry can't regulate itself, through agreement of proposals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessiWillSignForVilla Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Only half way through it, but it seems to me that the intention of this interview is to get ahead of the story for the name change of the ownership group and reassure that it's just to set up a City Group-esque football network and not an intention of the owners to sell up.

Brumstopdogs Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Good to hear that they're trying to do something about transportation as it needs to be easier for people to get to and away from the matches efficiently and safely. When you have to queue for an hour and a half for a train (not that I did!) it can't be right or enjoyable. UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep watching. He talks about the women's team, academy, transfer window (non-committal but hints at money to spend), and most importantly the expansion of the stadium. They've progressed to design phase for this, along with maximizing commercial opportunities around the grounds of Villa Park. Transportation is an urgent consideration, Purslow says fans should know he is on the case so that fans don't have to queue in the freezing cold for way too long at the moment, he acknowledges the platforms can be dangerous on matchdays and he is working with local authorities to improve the transport facilities around Villa Park as soon as possible.

MWARLEY2 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Gave away the capacity increase there. 50k it sounds like we are going for . Which would fit in with expanding the north stand by doubling capacity from 8 to 16k . Bearing in mind the Holte is 13.5k and that it will have huge corporate facilities most probably , means that it will be a pretty huge structure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
