Shocking "news"paper, basically on a par with twitter gossip for its reliability. Aside from this non scandal, great to see the women's team expanding with international players. Definitely a sign that our owners are looking at the whole picture to make this club great again (excuse the trumpism) and not just using villa as a quick profit maker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 She's a bit of a car crash this one. Bad publicity for the club with what she's said and done in the last few weeks. Move her on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I do think the club will remove her soon, I don't know the ins and outs of this situation but she seems to spend a lot of time in the media for non football stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Never liked this one being a part of Villa. She is trouble, always has been trouble and just not a person I trust in any way. Please get rid ..... find an excuse !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The team are doing it on the pitch under her tenure A few daft comments and then the media going after her shouldn't be an issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I don't think you can have your cake and eat it when it comes to jobs like this. People would kill for the position she has at such a high profile club yet she doesn't seem willing to cut back on her social media activity or being as vocal as she is in the media. Paints the club in a poor light also. Her remark about people and the covid payment. I mean, shut up woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not flipping burgers at McDonald's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Grealish crashed his car whilst probably drunk during lockdown hours after telling everyone to stay at home... She's had the furlough tweet, not sure what else, this non event of a "story" shows you what her profile is, if this happened to 90% of our men's first team would it be in the papers? Not a chance We've been promoted to the women's PL for the first time in our history, we're singing internationals, we're doing as well as we ever have in the women's game and we should sack her because of her social media profile? The only winner is the daily mail 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can act the clown as long as we are winning ? It's usually the way it works in football. Perez is always doing something ridiculous at Madrid - undermining managers, planning theme parks (remember the piss taking of Tony Xia for that) in the Middle East. Madrid are successful so it rarely gets mentioned. Abramovich with his dodgy links to Putin. Human rights abuses by the powers that be in Abu Dhabi, Qatar - respective owners of Man City and Qatar. I'm sure there are other examples. Players are always doing something daft. As mentioned above Grealish crashed his car during lockdown. That was also fairly daft - where were the calls to get rid of him? The scrutiny of these actions however is very limited. Her comments on the pandemic unemployment benefits were not good and I didn't agree with what she said. They were however a drop in the ocean compared to some of what I've listed above. As for this made-up breach of regulations today, it's a non-story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2020 flippin eck there are some reactions on here...my understanding is that she even offered to pay a fine with the barbados government said it wasn't necessary as it was just a misunderstanding. what jack did was 100 times worse than this or some social media comment and it was forgotten about as quickly as it took him to leg it to his house...i'm clearly missing something? why the hate? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Sounds like she **** up. But so did Grealish and nothing happened to him (when IMO it should have, but hey ho). Move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my theory Powerful opinionated black female Pick your poison her face will never fit with some, that's what makes her the target of stories like this, she has the relevance which no one else associated with our women's team has, like I said the majority of our men's team aren't relevant enough for that to make the news 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 To the people who only think it's a demographic issue, do you think people would have been pissed off if Suso had tweeted that about Covid then ended up in a foreign magistrate court for not following lockdown rules? Personally, I think we'd have seen huge uproar. Grealish probably should have been reprimanded, but a player **** up is very different than a board level executive. He's also a multi million pound asset so of course players get treated with kid gloves. As for Perez it's a little different as he is directly accountable to fans when they vote him in.

People were calling for suso to go anyway, it would've just been another stick to beat him with. But from what it sounds like a good number of people want rid of her, as if they didn't like her to begin with. Each to his own but not sure why. People saying they didn't trust her in the first place, something seemed off about her etc. I dunno, I just don't get that vibe personally.

The teams success on the pitch has had nothing to do with her whatsoever. She’s a highly intelligent woman with a first class law degree but sadly never seems far from trouble. The newspapers might well have it in for her but she should have known better. Sounds like the story is concluded anyway, let off with a warning in Barbados so it doesn’t seem that the club need to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
