I recently read Purslow's father's obituary and it seems Mr Purslow Sr was a devout Catholic and paid up member of the Labour Party. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean CP was the same, but still...

Granted improvements could/should be made, but we've got a unique ground standing on a Victorian footprint with space limitations which is yhe major problem.Income comes from 4 sources - sponsorship/commercial, TV/EPL, UEFA income and ticket sales. NSWE have put millions into the club and as we move up, then the other revenue sources should increase and that is why Heck has come in. Despite price increases our tickers are still reasonably priced compared to the competition. It seems to me that some of us expect to pay pop bottle prices for champagne football. Gerrard will always be held against him, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and the subsequent and ingoing transformation will I am sure see the Gerrard era and how it resulted in change as a positive pivotal moment.Purslow wasn't here to be liked, he did what he was brought in to do.Let's thank him for what he did, recognise that there's more to be done and move forward.Great post, as I see it.

And if he did, who cares? I come on here for Villa chat, i don't give a flying fig who he votes for or what he has for dinner.
I'll say this, and this only. Red sauce has no place on any food, ever. Brown is the only sauce.Now back to the Villa.
It's so easy to chuck around phrases like 'out of his depth.'Where exactly has he looked out of his depth whilst we've moved from Championship to top 7, grown to a 30k ST waiting list, designed and about to implement a stadium redevelopment, and persuaded the council to spend millions on transport links?Is he out of his depth because he sounds smarmy and has put up prices above what most of us would like? I assume no other successful CEO has made a bad manager appointment?
