Title: Luke Organ
Post by: kieron on December 21, 2018, 10:41:18 PM
“Understand Luke Organ has been axed by #avfc . He was the man effectively running the club over the summer following Keith Wyness' exit - and before the NSWE takeover. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/revealed-major-shake-up-aston-15585935”

Onwards and upwards. I like our new clinical outlook.

Did he disappear down a hole in the floor?

One for old cinema goers.

I wonder if he was given a "cuddle" before he left?

I watched an interview with him some time back and he continually referred to "giving people cuddles" (i a little sweetener in any deal he was involved in)

I'm quite pleased with this news - I think we can do better.

I wonder if this is because they simply want to have their own men in, or if it's to do with the Luke kit deal, which to put it mildly doesn't appear to be working as intended.

So, Purslow buries the organ and seeks new inspiration. Sounds good to me.

There was a tweet from Villamole implying potential financial matters.

I thought the new kit was a raging success? No?

People seem to like it, they just don't seem to be able to buy one very easily.

Can you elaborate on the Villa Mole's information?

I wouldn't get too excited.  It's that idiot @thatcherlover on Twitter who pretends to be in the know for likes.  He just posted something about Organ being the bloke who had links to the finance company that bailed the company out with cash before the new owners turned up in the summer.  All of that was public knowledge, and he hasn't anything new to say about it.

If the deal was intended to be our best selling kits for god knows how long it appears to have worked rather well i'd have thought?

Didn't realise Hearts had such a massive fanbase in Birmingham.

I imagine with Sawiris’ strong links to Adidas that’s where we’ll end up. I think the Luke kit has been great as has the accompanying clothing items. But it’s a massive issue if supply remains a problem in late December. My guess we’ll retain some of the collection and have Adidas as our key partner.

I remember watching this and being pretty impressed by what he had to say, seemed to have a grasp of some of the off the field issues.

&t=41s

Probably just shows not to get too carried away by what Purslow said as all these guys can talk a good game.
