Aston Villa Blog: CEO Christian Purslow lays out promotion plans at supporters meeting
On Wednesday evening, I had the pleasure of attending the Aston Villa Supporters Trust AGM, held in Villa Park's Holte Suite.
Our new CEO Christian Purslow was in attendance and despite a very tight schedule he found time to talk at length to over 160 fans on a number of subjects.
The main gist of the exchanges were how the club intend to go about achieving there ultimate aim of promotion.
It certainly seamed to involve changing the age range of the first team squad and making the under 23s more like the old reserve sides many of us grew up with.
He stated that every player that is in that side should be able to make the step up to the first team, otherwise, what’s the point of it?
I have attended a few of these evenings now and have heard it all before about what they are all going to do.
However, Mr Purslow did say he wasn’t that keen on attending as all that Villa fans hear are sound bites and wants fans to judge him and the owners on there actions alone.
That was refreshing change to what the previous regime had done and after hearing him I do trust them to get it right in time. We just have to show a bit of patience.
The rest of the evening was taken up by a superb Q & A with Villa legends Brian Little and Ian Taylor.
I have said this before but I will say it again. If you are a Villa fan and you care as much as I do that our club is in good hands and want the chance to get your voice heard then joining the trust is a must.
