Is it me or has Purslow been incredibly quiet since the season started?
Hopefully this is part of the overall club ethos. We no longer feature frequently in the press for all the wrong reasons as often happened over the last decade with the various exploits some of our players indulged in.
Between matches the club gets on with its work in a quiet, considered and grown up manner. I hope we continue in this way.

Absolutely, spot on

I am pretty sure they will get the off the pitch stuff right too.
Taking Hookeys point, I think we have people who actually know what they are doing.

Agree, by and large, but some signs of old problems persisting - not managing to sort the shirts out for a start (ie people wanting to buy them but unable to, and then when they finally get them, they fall apart on being washed), the mess over membership packs too .
Agree, I would be surprised if these problems persist but they should have been sorted out by now.

This isn't something they can truly sort before next summer though. Whatever they choose to do to remedy it will be meaningless until next July when they either get it right or fuck it up again, fixing the stocking and delivery of shirts or improving the quality of the shirts being produced now is largely irrelevant because good quality shirts being available when people want to but them is the real issue.

I agree with all the points above. As for the kit/ leisurewear /memberships packs problems i'd like to think they are waiting for the new facilities to be built before hopefully getting all such issues ironed out in one fell swoop.New facilities, new ideas, new system, new recruits. It all takes time. These guys are at the top of their game and i believe that given time Aston Villa Football Club will be running like a Rolls Royce both on and off the pitch.

Another £17m into the club via a share issue.

Being a bit dim with regards such thing, my question is why?

That's 142m to 374m in a year and a half.

Impressive. 232m between them.

The best way to become a millionaire in football really is to start as a billionaire.

The club loses money so the cash has got to come from somewhere.

They could loan it but this shows commitment.

A loan would carry interest which I'm guessing would count against us for FFP.

So it’s a means of just propping is up then? Not a great business model in the long run.

Good! It's football, I'd like to see two multibillionaires brought to their penniless knees through an interminable quest for our galactic domination.

We have owners that have made substantial investment and are strengthening the balance sheet.
The negative stuff is the mis management of this club by its previous owners.
What these guys are doing Investment wise is beyond criticism in my opinion.

Instead of guess the crowd - we ought to run a competition for guess the amount that we have lost in the last season - my guess is £60 million

Just out of interest if these 2 guys decided to sell the club - then the amount that they have invested and brought the club for - would this be what they reckon that the club is worth? - if it was then there are not many people who could afford to buy the club?
