I'm pretty sure that was in one of Woofles end of year lists.

So, our CEO isn't up to it, our coaching team are shit, our owners clearly aren't good enough.

Is there anything good at all about our club?

I think we tend to rely on you to tell us that Drummond.

what was that advert in the 80's.  About an aspiring rock band.  'you sound terrible, you look awful, you'll go a long way.'

Ah, well that's a bit like being a Tory in Off Topic isn't it?

This Purslow bit of a hoodwinker.
Loves to talk longer term and strategy goals but he's full of it with misrepresentation being honoured to be at Villa.
He was a Liverpool season ticket holder and isn't interested in raising Villa to great football heights.
He's just text book business and marketing speil. Only interested in raising commercial aspects
Club owners and directors put very high value on managers who are able to achieve sustained success with very modest spending.
For me a lot of time with Purslow it's all a load of let them hear what they want to hear.
Fox and Wyness had the initial love too.
But now Purslow is running show very badly Gary Neville summed him up by once calling him a clueless fool.

I still stand by this .
And I bet Purslow will be at the game Sunday.
And let me remind you as we all know who he will be supporting!

I revised this.
If Villa get relegated Purslow has plenty of assets to be sold off. And can keep on a cheap head coach.

Mings £30mil
Grealish £80 mil
McGinn £40 mil

All sold on and owners will have no issue with Purslow and Smith who has an "excellent track record of developing players " because the money will be fine.
And we'll implement the coaching plan as Smith is dynamic coach who is proven to deals well on a budget

You're starting to reply to, and quote, yourself now.

Lots of people have affiliations with other teams yet somehow manage to be professional when facing them. There's nothing to suggest he'd be anything else. In addition, I'm pretty sure that if it is all about the money (and he is a shareholder) then he'd much rather we were in the top division making the most money.

The problem with this largely nonsensical list of, at most, loosely connected accusations is that he is also a minority shareholder in the club, so he's got an even stronger motivating factor for us to do well than most.

Getting relegated - what he called a '£200m disaster' - is hardly going to grow his investment.

And, honestly, who gives a fuck where he has had a season ticket?

I couldn't give a stuff who he supports.  He looked as completely gutted as everybody else when Liverpool scored two late goals against us in the home game.  What I do I care about is the performance in his job, and the structure he's put together for Villa, which to say the least, hasn't worked one bit this season.
