Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Clampy]

He'll want a say on which players come in, that how it should be. Whether that particular rumour is true though is anyone's guess.

the whole top table has changed in a matter of a few weeks since the new owners took over
they don't mess about do they

Purslow - Pitarch - Smith - Terry 

new look, new Villa , renewed hopes

[jwarry]

This guy is good. Considered and determined by the look of it

[Pvb1968]

Interesting that the slate has been wiped clean.
So
Completely new management structure with a head coach whose team could play good football with limited budget.
I don't want to stick my neck on the block but I don't think even we could feck up the scenario we now have.

The slate should be wiped clean as the way Bruce managed certain individuals wasn't good.

This guy is a class above anything we've had for a few years.  Every answer he gave at the presser today was considered and football based.  No nourished romantic narrative or any of that bollocks.  I got the feeling that we are doing much better than expected with the FFP stuff and him helping to build the rules previously will help our cause.  I'm looking forward to seeing what unfolds in the January transfer window.  I think the management team is a good one and whilst we are currently in 15th, I don't think for a minute we will end up in the bottom half.

[Drummond]

I'm glad he stayed quiet until today. I know some wanted more from him but from what I've seen he seems to be getting on with the job.

Slick.

[eamonn]

He came across as your sorted, serious uncle with a good sense of humour that you could discuss chicks with in a dignified fashion.

[Ads]

I found him very impressive. Authoritive and intelligent, he gave across an air that he knew what he was doing.

[Toronto Villa]

Came across as very polished but then again I got done initially by Tom Fox. Made a twat out of a lot of us. So while I am certainly very encouraged as usual it will need to be proven over time.

[kippaxvilla2]

You can definitely feel the difference with this guy.  I liked the fact that he railed against the cliche about us having the right to be in the PL.

Agreed, and Purslow has to the take responsibility for the cluster fuck at the end of the transfer window. He has been around football clubs long enough to know going into a season with one senior centre half was a recipe for disaster. No way should transfers for Bolasie and Abraham have been authorised without reinforcements confirmed in defence first.

[TonyD]

I think he has been a bit slow in getting rid of Bruce.  But I liked what I saw of him today.   I think Dean and John could be a cracking team.   
But Jesus, I’m less convinced of.  Was listening to a Spanish football reporter who wasn’t too complimentary about him.  He could be risky.  Hasn’t exactly been that consistently successful in Spain or liked. 

[Risso]

But Jesus, I’m less convinced of.

Who is it that you're not convinced of?

Israel smashed TSM1's Scotland.   Jesus roots for his home team.
