Fans Advisory Board

[Villan82]

Unai Emery is absolutely critical to all aspects of this club. He is basically holding the club together. What are the Board playing at

[ChicagoLion]

It’s a great shame that things have come to this. I do not believe that the owners are fully aware of the situation.
It is not in their long term interests to trash the relationship between the club and its supporters.

Nassef was at Wycombe the other night to experience great facilities.

[Risso]

As of now H&V are no longer represented on the FAB. It serves no purpose and frankly I've got better things to do with my time.

Well done, it’s an absolute farce. Thank you for your efforts in the past.

What a state of affairs. People who are Villa through and through turning their back on the club this week, due to the shambolic way that fans are being treated. This is going to get ugly in a season when we should be really enjoying the ride Unai is taking us on. And we know who the problem is.

I'm not so sure we do.  I know it's ananthema to criticise them, but I worry that he's only doing our owners' bidding.  When you think about how hands on Nas in particular is how could it be otherwise?

He might be doing the owners bidding in terms of targets but he has massively cocked up the comms side of things, the relationship with the fans, the feel good factor, the positive momentum etc. If you accept he is doing the owners' bidding then presumably Purslow was too yet the approach (while not perfect) was very different and there was generally a feel-good factor about us being in safe hands ?

And it takes a really special level of incompetence to create this much disquiet at a club enjoying its best football in a generation.

Without wishing to turn a 3rd thread to be all about that scruffy, incoherent imbecile I fully agree with this

[edgysatsuma89]

I think you lasted a lot longer than a lot of us would have. I completely understand and respect the decision.

[Chip Butty 111]

The general vibe of the club has nosedived alarmingly since he started with the badge fiasco. It's been one thing after another, and now people are turning their back on the club. NSWE were never questioned in any way before Purslow left. How things have got to this is in a Champions League season is crazy.

[Exeter 77]

It's a sad day when someone as experienced at dealing with the club as Dave on behalf of us feels it just isn't worth it anymore but I the way things have gone on that front in the last year or so I can completely understand why.

[adrenachrome]

Sad that it has come to this, but withdrawal from this charade is the correct and principled decision.

[DeKuip]

If we’re not allowed our voice through fan representatives, forcing people like Dave to come to the conclusion it’s a waste of time, then we have to make our complaints heard and seen on a matchday. The next two home games are high profile for the club and so are ideal for some kind of fan backlash, particularly Bayern.
Time for the bedsheets to get another airing and that Champions League anthem needs drowning out too. I’ll have a go at hacking into the LED flashing ad computer, if I can manage to get my phone to let me into the ground.
Back Unai and the team - but let’s let those in the directors box know how we feel.

[Drummond]

Dave is it because you can't be arsed with them/it any more or because you don't want H&V to be part of it any more?

Both.
