We are down as a 50k stadium for thr Euro 2028 tournament, we have renders, planning permission and the works. Heck was behind a new stadium at his old job so I have no doubt he was pushing to scrap this, under guise of examine all options again, so he can then push a new stadium and have that nicely nestled on his CV for his next job. He was gone from Philadelphia when that stadium was announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm pretty sure you are also one of the biggest moaners on here when it comes to on pitch affairs, transfer market, management, performances etc as well, so from some angles you just seem unreasonable in general. I'm not one of the biggest moaners at all. I'm not losing my shit because we might not finish top 4. Heck all talks about money and competing so yes I think it's coming from him to the recruitment team to get every penny in as much as possible from selling the family silver.

If you think Chris Heck has been dictating transfer strategy to Emery and Monchi then I've got a bridge to sell you. There are many sticks with which to beat Mr Heck at the moment, so there's really no need for us to try and make up new ones. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know if their reporting of the case is 100% accurate, but it does ring true, and that is very very worrying. There were also very similar issues in a previous job (2 jobs ago) in a US newspaper article from around 10 years ago. I don’t have the link but it was posted in this thread last year. The parallels to the accusations against him then and now are strikingly similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 2 hours ago, bickster said: The tie thing isn't important, we know from what has happened at FABs that the correct process hasn't been followed, he's tried to bend what a consultation document says (in fact it says the opposite of what he's claimed), he's tried to get the new crest in without the approval of the fans and the FAB, which is again against the FA/Premier League rules. Most of that is documented by Scot for VT and all the other FAB representatives. The tie, meh who cares if that tiny snippet is true or not, I sort of hop it is because its just more evidence of shat was already known and has been argued. I care Because otherwise I'm leaning towards thinking that this document is someone sensing the mood and chucking this out there and at a time when we don't need it putting a ton of shade on the club, I'm not calling it a hoax but I'm not convinced by it either This is throwing stuff out there while backing absolutely none of it up and it's being lapped up because of our pre existing opinion of heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it this article in the New York Times from his time at NY Red Bulls? Quote “I don’t think people really comprehend how much damage he’s done in the little time he’s been there,” one team insider said. He added: “He just came off as arrogant and ignorant, and in this business it’s a very bad combination. He was so arrogant, you just couldn’t talk to him. You don’t have to be a 100 percent soccer guy, able to name all the players on Brazil’s 1970 World Cup-winning team, but you have to have a basic understanding of the sport you’re working in. And that was clearly lacking.” 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
