Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Clampy]

If there's one phrase I hate, it's 'The Match Day Experience'.

same here, but I don’t know what to call the assault to the eardrums in the build up to kick off and all the other bollocks that goes with it.

The loud shity music that’s played up to a second before KO and then again a second after the final whistle is doing my head in

The sound system at Villa Park is dreadful.
It's far too loud and goes right through you. I don't mind loud if on the right system and more upbeat music.

I quite like in Germany, Netherlands and so on they play energetic Dance Music

Bit of a raver, are you, Flint?

He has been known to rave on occasion.

A bit of Amsterdam Happy Hard-core is what we're missing, I said that on the survey

People go on about the wonderful down to earth, traditional aspect of Bundesliga games whilst ignoring the despicable goal music you hear in almost every ground.

I'm surprised at the hostility towards Purslow on this thread.

I appreciate non of this would have happened without the owners, but he joined us just after we had narrowly avoided bankruptcy in the Championship.

We are now knocking on the door of top 6, have a 50k seater stadium in the pipeline, are part of the Euro 28 bid, are hosting major music events again. are likely to get a massively upgraded train station and have a respected voice in the premier league.  We have been universally praised for the quiet and efficient way we conduct our transfer dealings.  In short, we are once again being looked at as a very serious club - and it's been 15 years since you could say that.   

When he joined the thought that we would be in this sort of position in just a few years was unthinkable. There's been many times he's been praised on here about the way he's dealt with certain issues and conducted himself in that time.

I don't like the price hikes, think the Holte view is a terrible idea and obviously the appointment of Gerrard was a disaster.  But Villa are on a hugely upwards trajectory.  It seems strange to me to be crucifying the CEO who has been at the helm during that period.

Thank the Lord for the return of the major music events, one of the things the club has consistently failed us on.

That's what you take from that post?

Given the hostility towards price hikes, I would have thought a significant source of income like this was pretty welcome.

I agree with Chris. I don't like Purslow's slightly smarmy persona and his need to be front and centre for everything, but the owners clearly trust him and he's a massive upgrade on everybody we've had before. Of course he's going to focus on making money, as would anybody else we had in the job if it wasn't Purslow doing it. I don't agree with everything he does, but at the end of the day we've got the best manager we've had in over 20 years and are having a real stab at the top 6, after a horrendous start to the season.
