This football season will be like the the series of Dallas when Bobby Ewing died but it was all a dream and he was just taking a really long shower. Pam Ewing will wake up from the dream and find out that Bobby is alive and well and Liverpool still haven't won the league since 1990.

He has spoken out of turn, this is not his responsibility and I would suggest that the Club wants to control the narrative and not have someone shooting their mouth off.
that's exactly it.
Good excuse to offload him, if Purslow wants to.

Whilst sacking him if he’s not up to the job is fine for me, and a poor transfer window, I’m not sure hat he’s said is that outrageous.
Karen Brady said the same very publically at the weekend.

That press release from the club is pretty cold. They don't even refer to him as Suso.

Not the point, he is not the spokesperson for Aston Villa and should not be commenting on matters outside of his remit.
Lady I luv u Karun is the WHU spokesperson.

Echoing the sentiments of Karen Shady, sorry Brady should be a sackable offense at the Villa in itself.

That link will not open for me for some reason, would some kind individual summarise it for me please?

It's because the link title has been changed.

I don't read that statement the same way as everyone else, I see that as "the decisions are yet to be made so we won't discuss the matter publicly and hence these are personal opinions not those of the club". I don't see it as evidence he should start packing, just a sensible approach to what will be a big topic if games don't restart in early April (as is almost certainly going to be the case).

I see that Stephen Warnock has said that he heard that Deano only chose three of our signings last summer.

I cannot imagine Pitarch flying totally solo- as has been said before, Purslow would need to be involved because he is signing off the spend on a specific player.  Smith would certainly have been given the opportunity to veto a signing - I can't imagine a working environment where he is simply presented with faits accomplis.

I really don't think he had much say, which is why I think some of the critisism it tough.

That - if true, Chris - reflects poorly on Purslow.
