Can we just remember what an utter shitshow Villa was before Purslow came in with Wyness, Faulkener, Fox etc? He came in and sorted a lot of stuff out and made us far more professional. He was well regarded inside football, just see what role he had in writing the original FFP rules (and how to get around them) and in project start up after covid. He led on the north stand redevelopment until it has now been canned and was clear in communication the whole way through. Yes he made a mistake on Gerrard but ultimately Wes and Nas had the final approval on that. You could have some criticism in that he didn't increase commercial revenues enough and that is why Heck came in. But as an actual football administrator or old fashioned club secretary I think he has been our best person since Steve Stride. Faulkner, whoo boy did I forget about that guy. What an awful era for the club that was. Purslow looks like a right god next to the chancers before him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he ever actually made an appointment or wanted to sign a faded out star like Coutinho Purslow hero was taking us down, the job Unai has done to clean up Purslow and his hero's mess is incredible. Its the type of story you see in a movie like Rocky Yes I would say so, he had very little experience of football administration, we bought poorly and firmly became a bottom 6 under him. Our budget even in the late lerner years was still around a midtable, we just went into a death spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no worship of him that I see, what there is mostly is a balanced opinion of the job the he did. and then a few hysterical Karen's... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 He did a good job for where we were. He made 1 giant mistake that we're still seeing the ramifications of, but overall his tenure was positive. Now it could've been a lot worse if not for Nassef and Unai, but all's well that ends well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would have butted out of football he could have stayed. He didn't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
