Christian Purslow - Resigned

[Chico Hamilton III]

I remember bumping into Villa-supporting, Tory peer, Lord Taylor of Warwick at Old Trafford many moons ago. Seemed friendly enough but that was before he was sent down for fiddling his expenses. Is this the right thread?

Why anyone would be in the least bit surprised that Christian is a Tory.   But I reiterate he was better than Tom ‘top of the league on shirt sales’ Fox.

I went in a Con club a couple of years back and it had pictures of all ex-conservative prime ministers on the wall. The beer was shit as well.

A long time ago (late 90s) my mate's Dad who was union man at Rover etc.. started going to local one near(ish) Erdington. I said why? Well the beers cheap and it's quiet'
Apparently there was a separate room for men or women could only go in accompanied by a man.

It sounded crap then and I am probably the same age as him now and still sounds fucking crap.

I went in the Windle Labour club. We were on our way elsewhere and popped in. It was totally empty, I guess the antisemites mostly come out at night. Mostly. The beer was student union cheap, there was aircon, a dart board, a snooker table (snooker is hard) and Leicester were getting heavily twatted on the TV. Was a good way to spend a few hours before the next pub. Purslow wasn't in there.

I remember when the go-to away pub near The Valley was the Charlton Liberal Club. Friendly bunch in there. Long before the coalition though.

Nah, The French Foreign Legion with BE.

If you haven't seen the documentary about him and the Xia deal on Al Jazeera, it's fairly jaw-dropping!

Bit about us isn't as detailed as I'd have liked, even those crooks didn't know who was behind Xia. Its from 37mins in.

No wonder he's fucking gone with the clusterfuck of shit kit, dodgy sponsor and new/not new crest/badge.

Do recent events change anyone's opinion of him?

No confirms it.

Some have  stopped drinking the Kool-aid

Personally no, not really.

Shirt - Not to everyone's taste but nothing ever will be. Some of the reactions (worst shirt we've ever had style comments) are clearly bullshit.
Sponsor - Worth significantly more than the last one in an environment where increasing our income was vital to our future plans. Ethical concerns are important though and he failed on that front, as has the entire sport for a very long time.
Badge - No, I thought it was a mistake all along, but not a big enough to get worked up over.

Far more importantly He joined us as a midtable championship club and left with us qualifying for Europe, that's the only legacy that really matters for me.

In a way, a bit more concerned by his departure now and keeping a wary eye on Heck's marketing initiatives.

That's a fair summary, although I really like the new badge.
