-

Stop teasing me guys!!

Unless PL works for a penile dysfunction surgery or wants to give me a very high interest short term loan then no I haven't had an email off him.
-
Damn - and I thought I was special. He'd even addressed it to Adam....

Or perhaps Villa don't have your email address! This came as 'Season Ticket Holder Update' so unless you are one you may not get the email. I had an email last week giving me my AVTV activation code because the season ticket packages are clearly delayed. Villa did publish a note on the OS saying this could only be done for people who have given them their email addresses. This was much more use to me than the usual 'enlargement' or 'prolonging' emails and you can take that how you like!

Dear Dave Clark Five,
The first thing I would like to place on record is my thanks for your support of Aston Villa Football Club. This is an incredible club, steeped in history and tradition and I feel honoured and privileged to be manager.
There is no doubt that an integral part of what I want to do here is to get the crowd going and to make Villa Park a vibrant, intimidating and exciting environment. On my first day here I was taken around Villa Park and I was able to appreciate for the first time the sheer scale of the stadium. It is instantly impressive and, if we work hard and get the place going, I believe we can make this club as successful as we all want it to be.
We have some exciting, young players at this football club and we have some very accomplished and experienced players, too. They will need a hand throughout the course of the coming campaign and in the opening week of the summer transfer window we have welcomed three new players in Brett Holman, Karim El Ahmadi and Matt Lowton. With his experience at club and international level, Karim will improve our squad and Brett should do the same, while Matt has the potential to be a really good player.
From my first few weeks here, I get the sense there is a really good feeling around the Club and it is this kind of positive mood that we want to carry into the season and then throughout the campaign. As soon as you walk in the door you know you’re at a big club and this challenge is one I am really looking forward to taking on. I am not daunted by it, I’m determined to embrace it and, as a Club, this must be our attitude going forward.
After we play Burton Albion on Saturday, we will be headed to the US for games against Philadelphia Union, Chicago Fire and Portland Timbers, all of which will be available on AVTV. We will play further games at Peterborough, Nottingham Forest and Werder Bremen, then the season will kick off in earnest at West Ham. For the majority of you, your first opportunity to see the team in person will be against Everton on August 25 at Villa Park when we will be looking to call on your incredible backing. Let me again express my thanks for your support and, like you, I’m looking forward with optimism and a strong sense of pride to the coming season.
Paul

Cheers DC5. I like it, concise with a determined, optimistic vibe running through it.
-
I'm glad he has such an astute knowledge of what games will be shown on AVTV.

Got mine about 30 mins ago

Great message from the boss- the club is ours again and lets enjoy the ride!

Anyone got last year's one from TSM to see if he copied and pasted it?

Let's just say it's a bit less defensive than TSM's. I just realised even TSM's letters were defensive!!

I've just read mine well pleased with what he's got to say.
-
More good stuff, I'm happy with him, but it's a difficult job and there's a lot to do yet.
-
I haven't received one.Sack him!
-
I received one and thought it was indeed a nice touch. Long may this continue.

Dear Paul,
Thank you for not being TSM.
Best wishes,
The entire Villa fan-base

good stuff, PL.
It is on the back of this upswell of communal ecstacy that I will be taking my seven year old to see the Villa for the very first time - for what will be a 4-1 win for us - to the Boggies game on the 30th of September.
Wanted to take him last season, but couldn't bring myself to do it on the back of TSM's style/tactics - he'd have succumbed to peer pressure and one of the Sky wnak-fest teams within seconds.
Nice touch, actually; my new boss, on discovering that the ops manager of our biggest client is also a Villan, immediately offered to buy a pair of family tickets for us both, to the fixture of our choice (we both plumped for the Boggies independently, funnily enough) so that we can take our respective kids.
Instead of dreading it, I'm really looking forward to it, for my boy and for me.
Villa, Villa, Villa, Villa,
Villa, Villa,
Villa, Villaaaaa

Excuse the cynic in me, but I do wonder just how many people are employed in the PR Dept. by AVFC and it's subsidary companies. ;)

Agreed

Plenty of similar junk mail but nothing from Paul - he don't like me!
-
waste of time. Deleted.
-
junk mail enlarges your penis? what? When did this start? It doesnt seem to have had any effect on me.
-
Geting e-mails from Villa managers is just plain weird to old-timers like me!
Remember a few years ago the 'phone went and my wife answered, her face was a picture as she handed it to me with the immortal words "It's the Villa for you".
Of course they were trying to sell me something but for one ecstatic moment I though it was the call up!
-
the fly in the ointment was referring to VP as a stadium. I would accept Vahalla, Nirvana, Heaven or ground

Got an email off him in the week, simply said
'Did you fun my Wife?'
