If that is the "real badge" that is absolutely horrendous

It isn't the badge, it's some piece of 150th anniversary branding.

Yep, might be on a few t-shirts, mugs, etc. Nothing to get worked up over.

I really don’t understand how people aren’t getting this.

If they intend to delay the new stand, not a bad idea considering how we are doing to reduce capacity would be disasterous, then did we not win the Euro fixtures based on having a 50K+ stadium?

Casement Park in Ireland is 30k, so I don't think us maintaining a 42k capacity will scupper our chances.

It's also not built yet, so Villa Park ahead in several ways there.

It's still incredibly shit though. What happened to Heck's supposed clean, modern branding that works across all media types? It's like an old baseball badge created for the 'Austin Village 150ers'.

Exactly, it's just a bit of branding.  Will probably be on the collar at the rear of the shirt.  Nothing to get to worked up about.

I can imagine it on media stuff and if they did, for example, a range of vintage inspired jerseis and other merchandise, on the labels and tags and stuff.

That's some Grade A Communication from Feck today. A major announcement regarding the ground hidden in a bollocks interview, and a shit logo that looks like a cock and balls released for no apparent reason with no real explanation what it is. Just needs a statement about the Deloitte Top 20 now for the full American executive experience.

I remember collecting all the stickers of the clubs in the Deloitte top 20 as a kid. To imagine we'd be in it one day, well, it's the stuff dreams are made of.

Even the staging of the video - which was done a couple of days ago by the looks of the weather - off the cuff, scruffy jacket...

Two massive announcements, generating lots of uncertainty for existing fans, addressing none of the off-the-field issues which people have been complaining about. Added to the fact this will be the first time most fans have actually seen him - all seems a bit amateurish.

I was amazed he just tweeted that along with some bullshit hashtag.

Mate, get your CV into B6 for fuck sake. Teach them about the subtle yet important art of the written word and communicating properly.

He explains why he hasn't spoken publicly before now, and it seems like a pretty decent explanation to me. Far rather he was an anonymous presence for 6 months than front and centre talking absolute shite to anyone who'd listen from day 1.

That makes sense - but this is the first time we've seen him and he cancels the new stand and doesn't tell us much more than a load of soundbites which are very ambiguous. All this is a waterproof jacket looking like he has just finished a dog walk, rather than giving our club a direction off the pitch for the next few years.
