Christian Purslow - Resigned

[SheffieldVillain]

Peter Hooton (lead singer of The Farm and Liverpool fan) tweeted this in reply to the news we have got him:

“Oh dear - when will he start giving team talks”

So I said should we be worried and he replied;

“our committee @spiritofshankly met him & he was totally disingenuous. If he sticks to finance fine but he starts getting involved in football matters - he replaced Benitez with Hodgson & declared it the best deal of his life”

Benitez had just finished 7th in the league. That kind of ruthless approach to underachievement would be very welcome.

I know Liverpool fans don't rate Hodgson as it didn't go to plan but I still like the bloke.

As soon as I read the name an alarm bell rang and I had no idea why, the Hooton thing hasn't jogged my memory I have to admit but I still feel a bit off about him. Let's hope I'm utterly wrong.

I'd have Hodgson here in a shot.

As for "picking the team" .  He might come to the same conclusions as most of us after the weekend watching us play that in this squad there is no pace, no movement (Grealish and McGinn excepted) in the final third, players in wrong positions, a less than adequate replacement for Terry etc etc.  The sort of questions he should ask of his manager if his manager isn't already being asked them.

Christian Purslow has been appointed CEO at Aston Villa. Mr Purslow who has a degree in Medieval languages is reputed to have said, the degree would come in useful when reading the current managers' book of tactics.

And his ancient dusty tome of outdated excuses entitled "That Be Ye Championshippe".

And he would be just the man to prepare a Domesday scenario.  E.g. 10 right backs and Kodjia (capt) in goal.

Why is it that I feel like we're a club in turmoil, when I should be more excited about our future than I have been in years?  I just cannot get my head around what is going on regarding transfers.  I know the managers insecurities and intransigence regarding players positions has a lot to do with things but,  bloody hell, this is so depressing.  Knowing what playing positions need to be recruited and doing the complete opposite.  I just cannot understand it at all.  I hope our new CEO sorts this out asap.  Leaving things until the last minute when positions of paramount importance need to be filled is sheer lunacy.

Actually, now that I have had my medication, some of my Medieval language comes back to me and could be portentous.  "Grealish" comes from Old English via Latin and means "very expensive".  Levy eat your fucking heart out.

Hutton is from Low German meaning one who lived in Ein Hutte.  A hermit.  An outcast.

Bunn is an interesting one.  You would think it derives from 14th century  "cake" or "bread" but it goes back much further to "bunke" meaning to depart hastily.

At least I shall have something to talk about if I ever meet the new CEO.

I've had to interpret football from the dark ages for many years now. Degree or no degree.

No, almost the exact opposite actually, he negotiated the sponsorship that stopped them getting into massive financial problems and then triggered the sale by Hicks and Gillett who were looking on course to destroy them.

No, it’s an ironic post as we are moaning about him already.  We ask for someone with experience and a football background and we get it. I’m pleased with this appointment.
