Well I hope he does a Heck of a job. Welcome Chris.

I love America.

Aston Villa is a great club. Lots of history. Blue collar supporters from a blue collar steel town in Birmingham.

He got the Blue collar bit right....if he was referring to out early 70's kit.

I just can't believe his name is actually 'Heck'.

[Toronto Villa]

I just can't believe his name is actually 'Heck'.

Oh yeh. He’s got “what the heck” all through his life.

It just sounds like a joke. Like a Martin Amis Yank caricature.

Great, another employee who’ll be earning so much money he’ll even be able to afford a season ticket.
I don’t suppose any extra revenue he brings in will go towards offering catering staff better wages though.

Hopefully it's a recognition that we need to improve the commercial side of things if we are going to be truly competitive in this league.  We have been here before, where we have been very close to making that next step, but have failed to do so.

For all the moaning from Spurs fans, they have had a poor season but are still in the hunt to finish 6th.  Leicester have had a poor season and look likely to get relegated and West Ham have been in the relegation picture all season.  We need to take that next step to become the kind of club who can have a blip of a season and still finish well inside the top half or just continue seamlessly when a manager leaves rather than the whole club falling apart and taking the best part of a decade to recover.

Like a Martin Amis Yank caricature.

And Kenny Jacket as the honest but credulous British football manager that gets caught up in Heck's murky personal life.

and have full responsibility for all business and commercial matters.

I wonder where that leaves Purslow.

He could become Steven Gerrards agent.

He's had it easy, there was a guy in our New York office called Randy Yanker.

This Heck man maybe is the Almery substitute as it were?  Overseeing a similar role.
I mean it would make sense as only one of them have come in

No, totally different roles.

Well I imagine Heck will have some input and we could be in for some Americans. He has knowledge of the MLS so on a crossover.  I mean We signed Duran even before Heck came in and can see a couple more Latin and South Americans based players from the MLS coming in.

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking hell. Now we are after Americans. Will they need to be Spanish speaking Americans?
