Good interview but CP is wrong - the PL cannot stop itself falling beholden to the next big thing, just like it itself did to the old Division 1.

In a decade, the European Super League will be a reality - am sure it will be an incredibly bumpy and difficult journey full of legal hurdles and battles. But money will win - it always does. Look State side for what the future looks like - in 40 years since we won the EC the game has completely transformed itself - in 40 years time, the game will be unrecognisable from today.
I  be hobbling down the Villa on my Zimmer frame to see the European champions then , still having my season ticket which cost me £500000


You will still be waiting half an hour for a pie and pint so not all bad
They will have these robots trained to stair gormlessly, struggle to take the top off a bottle, wander off for no apparent reason and huddle together every now and then achieving absolutely fuck all.

That's what they have now

I don't know Beth Rigby, but I've seen her around. She's tiny. He looks like he's no taller than her. Should've been a jockey.

It looks as if, like me, you look at things with lean eyes and despair.  I’ve stopped going to get refreshments. The last time I had to tell someone not to stand watching someone make my coffee and serve someone in another queue.

He's such a smarmy, cheesy individual, almost everything he says is "Accidental Partridge." Pretending that the Gerrard sacking was a "board decision" and not a Sawiris rage potting.

Yeah, he comes across as being as slippery as an eel. And the Board must have met very quickly after our humping at Fulham, given how soon after the final whistle he was sacked.

Never mind Accidental Partridge, he's been Accidental Doug given we've hardly heard a word off him since his mate got kicked off the bus at Fulham and now we're flying he's everywhere like shit in a field

There was some comments on twitter the night of Gerrard's demise, from someone (journo I think) who was in sight of the bigwigs section at Fulham and said that Sawiris was visibly absolutely fuming and stormed out very early with the look of a man seeking blood.

He must have some redeemable characteristics, our Christian. He seems to be pretty well-respected amongst his peers. Slick and slippery or not, we need someone as a figurehead that is seen as being capable of exerting power at PL level.

Yep he bailed out when the third went in apparently and Purslow disappeared about 5 minutes later. Decision was made before the final whistle imv.

I agree. He's pretty slick, and says nothing to piss anyone off. He's a good link to the Premier League and is respected in the game.

He is pissing off quite a lot of supporters, his respect comes from his position in Aston Villa Football Club which is backed by some of the best and wealthiest owners in the PL.
