It was an interview on NBC, I’ll see if I can find the clip but he talks about us for about two mins. I assume he is at one of the construction sites for Bright Line which is that high speed rail company they have here in the states.
Purslow are you listening? Heck might not be well liked. He appears to be doing what he is paid for though.
Hard to tell tbh - leaving aside the generally piss poor comms & shambolic badge nonsense #onbrand - then whilst it sounds good to have 'doubled' etc - the previous were all signed when we were at a much lower ebb.
Why move one mile to somewhere with no railway stations (instead of our current two) and far fewer bus services?
The truth is the playing side have moved miles ahead of the commercial side in a short space of time so a lot of catching up is needed. As Heck said they've had to negotiate their way out of a few long standing contracts and that takes time and a few quid as well I would guess. If we become regular European qualifiers I'm sure the deals will reflect that.
We are not actually champs league yet though? I'm taking it at face value. If its doubled before champs league, sounds decent.
Is it not the fact Emery has created a winning mentality and got us virtually CL football in just over a year. We are getting the exposure we deserve and slimy Chris Heck has the nerve to say, look what I've done. Could he have done it if we were lost in mid table, I doubt it. Everyone wants a piece of us right now but slimeball wants to take all the glory, we've all met one haven't we...
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, Heck couldn't have got the deals he has without the success on the field. The existing contracts might have had no provisions for European success or if they did perhaps they were comparatively paltry sums.
yep no doubt about it that Unai is carrying the club forward massively and the other aspects are riding on his coat tails.
Its like what the Bayern CEO said before, they could whack up season ticket prices 100 euro and all it would do is net them is 3m a season. Whats the point?
How does fuck off grab ya I'm in the Doug Ellis and have been there 20 years, also been a Villa fan for 56 I don't see what I should move anywhere from some once-a-season/lifetime plastic glory hunter who will drop us as soon as he gets bored
I’m just saying what the rumour is. I did say they should do it without disrupting the die-hard fans.
I know mate but you can't put 1000 seats anywhere without excluding 1000 st holders most of whom are die-hards. Virtually all the seats where I am in M2 are ST holders I've sat by for 20 years. Most were there before I was.
Suppose it all points to the North Stand again but maybe it’s a case where no matter what you do it hurts someone and the only solution is expansion.
