Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[john e]

Purslow was a slimy little fucker but there was always something likeable about him, I think he genuinely cared about the club and probably still does
I’d prefer him over Heck every day

I'm probably giving him way too much credit but I do wonder if his departure may have been hastened by him pushing back a bit. against fleecing every last penny from the fans

He was a bit of a div, but he was our div, and was in charge for some great times. Obviously plumping for Stevie G is what did for him.

You know you’ve done a bad job when people are missing Christian Purslow.

Terrace View was introduced under Purslow and Heck has just picked up the baton and ran with it.

As Chris Hike only has a couple of strings to his bow..
1  Big price increases
2. Canvassing opinion then ignoring it
..I thought I'd see what makes a great businessman and checked out Harvard Business School Online..
The 10 Characteristics Required Are..

1 Curiosity
2  Willingness to Experiment
3. Adaptability
4. Decisiveness
5. Self Awareness
6. Risk Tolerance
7. Comfort with Failure
8. Persistence
9  Innovative Thinking
10 Long Term Focus

..to quote Harvard..
If you have an idea for a product or service, you'll have to ensure customers are willing to pay for it and it meets their needs.
..I could go through the list of 10 Requirements and pick him apart tbh...
He's a chancer, simple as that

So sorry to read about your wife Chip Butty - myself and VCTM Jnr will hold you in our thoughts and prayers - sincere regards
(Clive and Cameron)
The nonsense going on around "our club" pales into insignificance in comparison
Take care buddy
God Bless

Everyone accepts that there is a need for bigger and better corporate facilities though that’s not what it’s about
 
It’s when those ‘new’ corporate fans are the only ones that count in the emerging Villa world and the traditional support are treated with contempt with failing facilities and high ticket prices

So sorry to read about your wife ChipButty…thoughts like all the other good folk on here are with you…fight the good fight!!

And within a couple of weeks there'll be a story about another club and the media will barely mention it again, and it will be the fans that are left pissed off with conditions and prices.

I was thinking that. Also I don’t think this would’ve got half the coverage it did if it wasn’t an international break.

A win is worth €2.1m and a draw is €700k.

If it is purely about PSR or whatever, there should be an incentivised scheme - it's £90 (or whatever ridiculous amount) in, but if Villa get a draw, you get £10 back. If we win, you get £30. Could make for a great atmosphere (for the first 10 minutes - then watch the abuse as Diego Carlos misses from a yard out in the last minute).

If they're going to fleece us, they may as well at least add in a bit of jeopardy... The game is becoming less about emotion and more about financial transactions, it's about time the fans got a piece of the action!

Some may say you talk too much tripe when boozy, but I like this!

Heck would be more suited working for Ryanair than our fine historic football club. I wonder if he knows (or cares for that matter) the vitriol  and  distain coming his way . He deserves a round of fucks next time he grabs the limelight on a match day.

[VillaTim]

He probably won't risk turning up next Saturday .

Purslow got a few calls wrong but the vast majority right.

He was Old School Tie and everything else that comes with that.

But a football man at the same time; someone who persuaded NSWE to go with Dean Smith rather than their Thierry Henry flight of fantasy, for example.

He was a competent administrator and you never feared he would embarrass us on a national level like this berk has done a few times now.
