avfc1982am Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 He sacked Steve Bruce at precisely the right time. Any later and this season would have ended much differently imo. I like him! For now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 9 hours ago, Made In Aston said: Even if Purslow is a complete disaster, he will go down as a legend in my book for his immortal words 'We are Aston Villa . We do parades when we win cups and leagues - not for finishing 3rd place in the championship'. The only thing missing off the end of that sentence was 'that's the type of thing Small Heath would do.' And we finished 5th, so even less reason for a parade! (I cant imagine any fans actually wanted this, did they?!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They messed up big time there by being indecisive No the Barry to Liverpool thing went tits up because after whispering sweet nothings in Barrys ear the FSW told Barry he was going to play left back for them. Barry wanted to play midfield and was unimpressed with them changing what they told him before. Man City stepped in and gave him the playing position he wanted.

Popular Post villan-scott Posted July 17, 2019 Author VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Great Q and A with Purslow from Minnesota today. Some interesting snippets in there. He interviewed DS at 10:30pm until 4:00am! He fills me with confidence every time he speaks. He’s the real deal.

He has taken the club to heart, speaks clearly, frankly and imo for the first time in years we have a CEO that isn't a cnut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) The bit below is scary...How anyone can forgive Xia, Wyness, Round and even Bruce for putting us in this situation is beyond me. Last July, our Football Club could not make a £4,100,000 bill to HMRC, we were bankrupt. If these two didn’t put £60,000,000 in very quickly, we would have been liquidated. We’d have been Glasgow Rangers, we’d be starting again. Edited July 17, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Maybe a bit harsh to blame Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow was right to play a parade down, we got what we wanted which was promotion and was enough to do the sha's heads in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
