Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

i am sure that our owners would not stand for this type of behaviour from any one of their employees.

IF TRUE - then Mr. Heck will be gone from the club, if it is not true, whoever posted this on the internet will need very deep pockets, with the potential damage to the club and Mr Heck's reputation.

Bloody hell.

Notwithstanding my misgivings on the badge and stand development, I thought we had someone well qualified to really drive our commercial success, which is vital to succeed in the PL.  Reading this it seems he's an absolute prick and we'll probably be looking for a replacement soon.  It's always seems to be 2 steps forward 1 back with Villa at the moment.

One of our owners thinks Abu Dhabi has a perfect system of governance so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Edit: and the other one is an American billionaire. Breathe.

Yeah, we don't know if it is genuine and we don't know why it was released

What we do know is that it has been released and if it is genuine those who released it would have good reason to protect their identity.

It could be worse, at least he hasn't done his ACL.

Joking apart, it would be so 'Villa' to get the football part of the business in brilliant shape, to have a world class manager running the team, a fucking transfer market assassin like Monchi doing his stuff, and for the club to be in the very upper reaches of the table only to then have the 'business' side of it turn into a great big barrel of bin juice.

Who made most of his fortune from sub-prime mortgages.

Not dissing Wes here, I still like him.

To be honest, without seeing this letter this was my assessment of how things have been since last summer. Based on the badge, ticketing, paused redevelopment and communications

I'm dissing him, and I don't (based mainly on that light grey/blue-checked suit he wore when they bought us).

It makes for very troubling reading if only a bit of that letter is true.

I have mild objections to his hair style.

the person who sits by me is a senior manager at Villa in the Finance department - (when I have asked them about working at Villa) they seem to like Chris

Did he twitch and look over his shoulder as he said it?

[VillaTim]

all looks a bit suspect to me , whacking it onto social media adds to the lack of credibility

[paul_e]

I don't know if that's real or not and won't make an attempt to guess but if I wanted to create something to make Heck look bad I'd include most of the stuff that's in there because it feeds perfectly into the facts that he's american, he's done things fans don't like and there were stories of him upsetting people at New York Red Bulls(or whatever they're called). I think Dave W sees the same thing with his "too perfect" comment as well, it's painting him as the worst possible charicature of an american going to a UK business.

That last point is true, but he's kind of on public record as being a caricature of the worst kind of American going into a UK business, which makes it easy to believe (whilst I acknowledge it might be total bollocks).
