Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[Villan82]

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.

Heck talks about marketing as if he invented it. That 25 minute interview Purslow did with Beth Rigby inside Villa Park wasn't half bad in terms of good PR for the club

A pity he lobbed cash at the Tories though.

In hindsight - I was overly crucial of CP - I think he was a decent custodians for the club.  I dont think we would have been able to grow us quickly enough though from a revenue side

Didnt we at least speak to Toilet Duck?

Think they tried to create a bidding war with Jeyes Fluid.

Is this actually true? I’m fairly certain Henry was in post at Monaco before Smith was appointed.

Then there’s who we appointed after Smith, which looked very much like chasing a bigger name rather than who was best suited for the role.

Not sure i'd be anointing Purslow at this stage . This new guy though has taken things to a whole new tragic level

I received an email from Lee Preece yesterday explaining what they've been doing to sort out the toilets. I can copy it here is anyone's interested ...

[Drummond]

Of course we are!

[Gareth]

He probably won't risk turning up next Saturday .

Course he will but as I’m sure happens every game he doesn’t move any further than schmoozing the corporate hospitality in the Trinity (with his legendary communication skills)and Directors box…he won’t associate with us plebs

Agree with all this. I quite liked Purslow all in all, obviously a CEO type but seemed for the most part alright. This Heck fellow feels … very American in his attitudes.
