I've said it before - Villa Hotel - Mop up all the tourists in the GA+/Corporate seats. Extended stay in Brum, new club shop and beer hall next door.

Aren't hotel rooms overlooking the pitch the new thing. I think Blackpool have them and one or two others.

Norwich have hotel rooms overlooking ground. Also a Premier Inn overlooks New Road for Worcestershire CCC.

Hampshire too, Edgbaston will have also in 18 months or so.

Old Trafford (cricket one) also.

I'm a Bears fan, but New Rd members' area has one of the best views in the country, imo.

Riverside & cathedral on the left side, cricket pitch in the middle, Malvern Hills to the right.

Sublimely Wodehousian.

Perhaps we could make an approach to lure Tom Wagner for the role?

Big boating lake where the pitch should be at certain times of the year as well!!

I like to go to Worcester on occasion and often stay in that hotel at the cricket ground. It's really handy for the town centre (pubs). Time before last I stayed the whole playing surface was under water.

Individuals at that level are likely to have 3 months notice to work - unless they are out of a job, then you'd ask why are they out of a job if they are any good?

Yeah at least - I'd have to give at least 3 months for my job which isn't anywhere near as high profile as Hecks.

Well hopefully this won’t happen to us now……

🗣️ Ruud Gullit: “I met the Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly, and introduced myself: ‘Hi, I’m Ruud Gullit.’ Todd looked at me and asked, ‘What do you do?’ I told him, ‘Well, I played football — I also played and coached for Chelsea.’”

To Gullit’s surprise, Boehly responded, “Oh yeah? When did you play for Chelsea? What did you do for the club?”

“He didn’t know who I was. Can I blame him? Not really. But this is what it is now — they don’t know what the club is all about. The DNA is gone.” 😳

[Hookeysmith]

Well you can hardly put our owners and Heck into the same category a Boehly. They love our history and tradition.

But I agree with the sentiment that this is high prolie business and it attracts high profile professionals rather than philanthropic nice guys. We had one in Randy but he as shit at business and choosing key personnel to run it for him.

The Lerner years are a bit of a sorry tale really. Always thought his heart was in the right place. He just failed. Compare that to Ellis who actively held us back. At least Lerner tried for the first half of his term, but as you say, made the wrong appointments across all levels repeatedly.

Should've sold up in 2010/2011.

[HolteL4]

Hopefully now Heck has gone we can take the team coach and the tunnel and remove the Newcastle United colours and have them claret and blue. Because it's ridiculous that the tunnel is seen all over the world and it's not in our colours and I can't think of any other clubs team coach (ones that have custom designed coaches obviously) that isn't in the colours of the club.

[FatSam]

Gullit thinking there was ever any recognisable DNA or soul at that club is the bigger mistake. They were won-nothing nobodies before he was lured by the London lifestyle.

His heart was in the right place for a bit, but he absolutely could not give a shit when he walked away and sold us to someone whose 'chancer' status was visible from space.
