Christian Purslow - Resigned

[rob_bridge]

Woodward not Gil

[dave.woodhall]

I don't think there's much doubt that if we'd been invited into the ESL he would have been in favour, in the same way that he's in favour of banning gambling sponsorship while at the same time getting it while it's still allowed. My big gripe with him is that he's totally money-driven, while caring nothing for tradition. I suppose his vision and mine are at odds.

[PeterWithe]

I’ve always been a bit nonplussed by Purslow and people like him, they are a necessary evil. I guess that why I currently think badly of him is his gentrification of the Holte, if they do that they’ll do anything for money. Yes it’s been going on for years but this makes it so stark.

[Drummond]

His failings are there for all to see, he is not a very good CEO and the club will be better off when he is gone.

What are those failings then? Just for those of us who aren't as observant.

Crikey.
For how long Are up going to keep this up for?

I thought it was a reasonable question really because you've made it sound like he's been a complete failure.

Bingo.

No substance to your point then.

Absolutely right, no point in arguing with genius.

There's no argument, it's just that, as other people have said, I asked a reasonable question about all these 'failures' and you won't say what they are.

Let's be honest, that's probably the case for every club, football is so hypocritical.

True. And as a fan base you can bet there would be plenty who'd have been chuffed and in favour too.

[Flin5tone]

He's out of touch with the majority of our fan base. The price increases when we're in a cost of living crisis on top of last year's shows how out of touch those at the top are.

His answer is that our billionaire owners have spent money.... There's absolute outrage from City supporters at a 5% increase. We're being taken for fools

The reality is his counterparts would probably all do the same

[wittonwarrior]

Should have been bombed out when his mate's tenure failed - a thousand Christian Purslow's only one Aston Villa

They probably would, but not out loud.

Supply and demand. Aston Villa is a business.

[Bad English]

I was just about to quote from my A-Level Economics book.

Price Elasticity of Demand = [(Q1 – Q0) / (Q1 + Q0)] / [(P1 – P0)/(P1 + P0)]

[Flin5tone]

I suppose if you're from Maidstone you have no local connection and feeling for the traditions of our football club and the local working classes who are being driven out and replaced with wealthy families from out of town.

I am a realist who is never far from being wrong and will stand up for the local working class if you like it or not .

We are the majority
