Villa are going to be knocking on the door soon would be the more accurate statement needed.

Knocking on the door, handing in a polite & respectful letter to ask for their permission to join their little clique.

I doubt that, no nice nicey, we will be being demanding. We are always being demanding.

So a sternly worded letter it is then...

Knocking on the door means -to try to join a club or a group, or to try to become part of it.
Kicking the door in is not the correct term.
Heck is wanting to make an impact with words and he's implying Villa are breaking in with forceful entry.
I guess he wanted to say kick to relate it to football.

But what if they refuse to answer the door?

Do we stick a note in the letterbox?

Do we then have to phone in advance to make sure they are home?

I guess he said "kicking the door in" & not "knocking on the door" because we aren't asking for fucking permission to enter.

Well forcing entry is unlawful so it has to be said. Unless it is lawful enforcement. I've seen a few of those UK and US Police and baliff TV shows.
Door breaching is the term.

Door breaching is a process used by military, police, or emergency services to force open closed or locked doors. A wide range of methods are available depending on the door's opening direction (inward or outward), construction materials, etc., and one or more of these methods may be used in any given situation.

In the United States, residential doors typically open inward while commercial building doors usually open outward.
Some breaching methods require specialized equipment and can be categorized as one of the following: mechanical breaching, ballistic breaching, hydraulic breaching, explosive breaching, or thermal breaching.
This explains Heck use of the words I guess.

I just think kicking is not the term as in football terms it's a yellow card
Look at the end of the day Heck is going to make the odd error with his Americanism and brash talk I'm just here to deciifer what he would mean.

Its only unlawful if the door fucking exists... 🤨

Nobody needs you to decipher what he means other than you.

Most of us know that "kicking the door in" is a metaphorical way of saying that we are going to break into their clique.

I can't regard it as a clique as that suggests it's a small close-knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them.
That is not the case as it's a league that determines who finish in the table.

Do you have to make an effort to be so boringly obtuse or does it come naturally?

If this isn’t proof that there’s no neuro-divergence here, just a big old wind up, then I don’t know what is.

Not immediately. But I believe that’s going to be the grand plan long term. These new board members haven’t been recruited to add 1500 seats.

Sounds like 1500 seats being converted into premium seats in the summer. Good to find out via a tweet if it’s your seat they are taking off you.

I noticed in the interview he had a dig at old contracts that needed tidying up   bet purslow would be pleased

Thats abit small time in my opinion. Trying to boost your own ego to get the fans on side. It wouldnt have been purslow only anyway. Surely process in place where the owners are involved too

A lot easier to get better deals when you're 4th instead of 13th so unless he's the brains behind Unai then he can't claim all the credit
