Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I am in favour of it though for a better longer term solution.

Nail on head.*



*Until we see the monstrosity Heck comes up with.

Doesn't Purslow having a share in owning the club?

[Beard82]

I think its only very minor

I think its only very minor

It’s irrelevant

You hate the bugger  C'mon! Would you piss on him if he was on fire?!

The latest MOMS podcast is about the call that they had with Heck. It’s confirmed on there that Heck took the bold step to stop the rollout of the new badge because he felt it was selected without any credible competition. It’s said that Purslow manipulated it so that there was only ever going to one winner, the one he wanted,
Stopping the rollout now, with the building delays, gives the club time to reset and start the process over again.
After listening, I get it now.
It was a ballsy decision to decide to not rebrand the club but to stop, reevaluate and start again.

All that said, the club could and should have put out a statement to explain.

Better to be honest than have a load of transparent waffle!

I'm not so sure.  Outside the club nobody will really pick up on it, so why lay bare the error?  Inside the club, we all know what's happened.

Yes, I agree.

No, hate is too strong, I don’t hate anybody . I just don’t rate him as a top CEO.
I do not say everything he did was shit either, he is a marketing guy, that will only take you so far as a CEO as we have now found out.

Fair enough. Congrats on 20,000 posts, in 3 posts time (at time of typing).

The warnings are there. We need action now from those that attend meetings

[Villan For Life]

I’ve no problem in the new guy reviewing major decisions made by the former CEO, whether that’s our redesigned badge or North Stand redevelopment.

[Toronto Villa]

Absolutely. He has to get this right. So putting a pause on it might seem chaotic in the short term but if it creates a better version of everything for the future, nobody will remember the specific decision made in June 2023.

Yeah, so long as it does bring something better.

That will be the test for any change in senior leadership. To create change and deliver better results. I don’t think Purslow was the devil some made him out to be. But we can clearly do better especially when you look around at commercial revenue streams of of other clubs in the league. Many with a smaller domestic and global footprint and smaller fan bases. We have to maximize all of that.

We are underperforming commercially immensely, embarassingly.

So let's see the moves to correcting this.

Thus far we've had bin the badge, slow down the ground expansion, and lick of paint for the old venue.

Let's see the positives now, because if it is all like the above, it won't take long to deflate the fan base.
