Title: Leadership through the eyes of supporters!
Post by: BDV on April 12, 2026, 01:01:58 PM
Hello!
We are two master’s students in Physical Education and Movement Sciences at KU Leuven, Belgium, and we are currently conducting research on fan behaviour in the Premier League.
The survey is about fans’ perception of key stakeholders of their given PL club and different forms of protest. Please note that the questions regarding protest specifically refer to the current situation (under this leadership), and not to past events or potential future scenarios.

It would really mean a lot to us if you could complete our survey. Your response would be a huge help to our research.
If you happen to know other Villa fans who might be interested in participating, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share or forward the link to them as well.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and support!

Did you approach a member of the Admin/Mod team first to ask?

I tried but no one responded. Do I need to take it down?

I've done this but be aware that there are 2 questions where the text reads "Answer 3 to this question" .... seems like an error!

Possibly just to identify bots etc.

No this isn't an error. It's to prevent getting people that just answer with e.g. 5 the entire survey. So this way we check if the person is reading the questions and not just quickly selecting random answers.
Thank u for completing the survey and helping out though!

I've done the survey. On the questions relating to protests against ownership, I was unsure if this was meant to relate specifically to our owners or more generally across football. I therefore stayed fairly neutral.

Thanks for completing it! So the protest questions are meant to be for your club and leadership specifically. We've had this problem of misinterpretation before so it's definitely not on you. We started to mention it in the information above, but we see this as a limitation to our research. Thank u again and also for being so honest.

Will there be any thought to making (general/anonymised) results available? In a world of billionaire and private equity ownership it probably won't result in wild changes or reasonable ticket prices - but it would be interesting to read, regardless

Don't go to any extra effort - I was just thinking that they would be quite interesting.
