it costs them around £6m a month to run - that's (15th) not a good return on capital employed

I'd just been thinking something very similar to this and was going to post it but then I saw your post Ads.  I agree.  Why on earth would two businessmen pay millions for something and then just let it waste away?  They won't.  We can only wait and hope and at this stage that's something we're all getting used to.
And, why bring in Purslow if he is incapable of taking the big decisions?

Just at Birmingham airport browsing the shops in the departure lounge. You can’t buy an Aston Villa shirt anywhere here. You can buy a Leicester City shirt though.

Not sure if that has something to do with our kit deal.  Not seen one in any of the sports shops in and around town either.

Yeah, the one thing we can't complain about is our kit sales

I'm starting to feel like it is time for Purslow to become more visible, he's had time to get settled in, now lets see him acting like the CEO and engaging the fan base.

What I meant Matt was that I am not sure if the deal we have limits kits to being sold at the club shop and LUKE outlets only.  Went to thé Sports Direct at One Stop in Perry Barr the other day and they had no Villa gear in there, which was strange considering it's in walking distance of the ground.

I was under the impression that 'Luke' Villa kits were rarer than bums on seats at the Sty.

I'm hearing he's been waiting for us to get back to back wins before making any statement thus the delay.

Even if it was back-to-back passes, we might not hear from him for some time.

Time for action followed by a statement of intent ........ we are becoming a laughing stock and rightly so ....
.we are a complete shambles on the playing side - let's hope the admin side of the club is sorted - if not we are fucked

Wait any longer and you'll be another one accused of stealing a living from the club.
