Popular Post Mantis Posted October 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 Often I feel like clubs celebrating their owners is a little forced but in our case it's absolutely organic and justified. These two are Villa legends in my book. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys just get on with it queitly, so I have no problem heaping praise on them. I must admit I'm also pretty impressed how Edens seems to be able to step back and let Sawiris do a lot of the day to day. That must be pretty hard to do as such a successful individual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Sometimes I think about how losing the play-off final to Fulham in 2018, in hindsight, is genuinely one of the best things to happen to this club (and vice-versa winning it would have ended up being one of the worst!) because of these lot. If we won the playoffs there'd have been no NSWE, the Premier League money would be spent by Xia, and Bruce would be at the helm. Funny how football (and life) works.

Is that your older brother with you? Sorry NAS, you can take the boy out of Birmingham but not the Brummy out of the boy! And it is his birthday so I can’t give him too much stick today. You’re both doing a fantastic job. A new trophy cabinet might be your next expense lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make an interesting observation. Where ego's go.....these guys always seem to be on the same page....and no ego required. They really do amaze me, in more ways than one. They let CP charter his ship, with the Steven Gerrard signing, but as soon as it was heading for the rocks....The decision to cull was incise and precise.....no fannying around, NS stepped in. and despite him having a CEO....He just took the wheel and steered the club back in to calm waters. I can't fail to recognise that as leadership....and his vision is to also recognise leadership in his next manager. A great attribute of owners is to get good people on board.....our owners know that for sure. We have special owners alright....to go with a special manager.

tinker Posted November 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2023 Stepping in and sacking Gerrard was a clear indication of their ruthless nature, actions spk far louder than words. Purslow made a mistake and paid, nice of NSWE to let him stay in the immediate aftermath of Gerrard going as well, showed class. We're in good hands that's for sure.
